I see what your're saying. Although, there is no one reading about my life. I have no narrative. Other people use my name every day.

This has been done. The Edgar-Winning The Butcher's Boy by Thomas Perry has a nameless character as one of the two only important characters.
I believe that the heros of the books Donald Westlake wrote as "Richard Stark" is nameless.

Interesting.

I haven't read these. Being that these are all main characters, I would have to deduce that there was definite purpose in giving these characters no name. There is doubtlessly an art to achieving this. I imagine it adds a lot of atmosphere to the story.

However, the OG poster referred to his particular character as unworthy of a name (at least in the first book) I imagine not giving such a character a name wouldn't add much to the atmosphere of his story.

I think if this issue becomes a problem for him, he should just give the character a name.
