Oh spiffy - very interesting essay - thanks.
Of the very few that came to mind, one is in your essay (A Nameless Witch[1]), and one is in the comments (Zelazny's My Name is Legion).
The other definite one that came to mind is Annihilation[2] by Jeff Vandermeer.
Two more that I think fit come from two different Wells:
- I don't think the protagonist of Wells' The War of the Worlds has a name.
- I don't think Wells' Murderbot has acquired a name yet (besides "Murderbot")- at least not one they accept.
...
Murderbot took the name of the Security Consultant Rin when it was headed toward the mining planet where the bots went rogue on the miners. I suspect that we will see that name again.
