Original Names of Cartoon Characters We're Glad Were Changed

The Top Ten

1 Mortimer (Mickey Mouse)

2 Dippy Dawg (Goofy)

Yeah just does not sound right.

3 SpongeBoy (SpongeBob SquarePants)

Only one letter was changed but it's still a big difference. Well, for me at least.

4 Orson (Tweety Bird)

5 Rover (Pluto)

6 Nancy Lee or Nan McGrew (Betty Boop)

7 Egghead (Elmer Fudd)

His head does kinda look like an egg in my opinion not gonna lie.

8 Super Mouse (Mighty Mouse)

Most likely was charged due to it sounding to close to Super Man even his orginal costume looked too much like Super Man.

9 Jasper (Tom Cat)

10 Mr. Needlemouse (Sonic)

Sonic the Hedgehog, trademarked Sonic The Hedgehog, is the title character and protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by SEGA, as well as numerous spin-off comics, five animated shows, and an animated OVA.

That would actually be a funny name. Just imagine game titles with the words Mr Needlemouse instead of Sonic in the title. Lol

Sounds like what a very high or drunk person would call a porcupine

The Contenders

11 Jinx (Jerry Mouse)

12 Scoobert Doo (Scooby Doo)

Good lord, sounds like scooby's smart Harvard graduate cousin

13 Arnold (Cookie Monster)

Well, he does look a little like an Arnold. Not gonna lie.

14 Jumpman (Mario)

Mario has appeared in almost every Mario game, including games in spin-off series as a playable character, with few exceptions including New Super Luigi U, Luigi's Mansion games, Yoshi's Island games, and similar counterparts.
