Is there any justification for the names of Donald Duck's nephews? RickK 07:27, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Robin is named after Robin Hood? Any evidence to support this? Batman is named after a flying animal, so it seems logical that his partner would also be named after a flying animal. ike9898 16:00, Feb 14, 2004 (UTC)~
Yah, no kidding. I removed this. Don't put it back until someone can provide an external link or a reference to Bob Kane, or some other writer, that mentions this. maclean25 2 July 2005 03:37 (UTC)
Should we include characters named after non famous people (Homer, Marge, Maggie and Lisa Simpson for example)? And if not why not? Saul Taylor 09:56, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
If I understand correctly, Foghorn Leghorn is named after Senator Claghorn who was himself a fictional character. So does this count? ike9898 22:07, Feb 26, 2004 (UTC)

Surely Wile E. Coyote is simply a pun on "wiley coyote"?

What is the definition of 'cartoon character' here- characters in animated cartoons? characters from drawings know as cartoons? what about comic book characters? ike9898 14:43, Feb 27, 2004 (UTC)
At the begining of the article there is a statement something like 'most cartoon characters are named after people'. I'm very skeptical about that...I think that for every 'named-after' character, I could cite 100 that aren't named after anyone. ike9898 14:43, Feb 27, 2004 (UTC)
I added Dennis the Menace (U.S. comics), who was named after the cartoonist's son. JIP | Talk 19:23, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Mickey Rooney claims Mickey Mouse is named after him, but that's just that, a claim, and Disney never confirmed it as far as most know, so it can't be put here as a cold fact. The official origin of the name is better described in The mouse's page. Kreachure 03:30, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Should the list really include "Calamity Jane in Lucky Luke - named after frontierswoman Calamity Jane"? This is not a separate character - it's actually supposed to be Calamity Jane, albeit in a fictional setting. The same goes for many other Lucky Luke characters, except for the Daltons, who are the fictional cousins of the real Daltons. JIP | Talk 21:06, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
