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.

Speaking of HG Wells, the protagonist of The Time Machine (which I
decided after all these years I should finally read it - and completed
it this morning) definitely doesn't.

The Time Machine's Protagonist's name is H. G. Wells.  The Time Traveler.

In what chapter is The Time Traveller referred to as "H. G. Wells"?

 I believe it happens in this chapter:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_After_Time_(1979_film)

That's not the book though.  NEVER assume anything at all in a movie based on a book has anything to do with the original book.
