Talk:Monica Geller

message: Under Trivia, someone said that the main couple on the show was originally going to be Joey and Monica, not Ross and Rachel.  Is there a citation/reference for that, or is it even true? Dalton Imperial 00:16, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Monica and Joey?

message: Is Monica Jewish?  I knew Phoebe rhymed Monica with Hannukah in her Holiday song, but is that the only evidence?  I just assumed Phoebe was trying to come up with something that winter-related that rhymed with Monica.  I know that the friends all do Secret Santa in one episode, which is more associated with Christmas.  If she's Jewish, wouldn't that most likely make Ross Jewish as well? Dalton Imperial 02:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wish I did research before posting.  Anyways, here's some evidence to support that Monica is at least technically Jewish.  In Season 10, epsiode 9 (The One with the Birth Mother), this dialogue occurs: 
Monica: Maybe she will. Uh! Why couldn't I have been a Reverend?
Chandler: You're Jewish.
Monica: Technicality!
Also, in the season 7 episode "The One with the Christmas/Holiday Armadillo", Ross tells Ben that he is part-Jewish and tries to teach him to sing "dreidel, dreidel".  So it seems that Monica (like the Gellers) is at least part-Jewish, but I don't think Monica's religious affiliation is stressed enough to list her as a "Jewish fictional character."

message: Is she really called Geller-Bing? Because in The One With Princess Consuela she admits that she never changed her name.--Codenamecuckoo 08:28, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
Either we should move the spoiler warning to the begining of the article or her name can't be Monica Geller Bing.  Plus, for the majority of the series that wasn't her name. Savidan 20:55, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the "Bing" from her name.  Firstly, there should have been a hyphen there (according to Phoebe's use), and second, I don't think she ever changed her name in the show.  As of episide 14 of season ten (TOW Princess Consuela), she hadn't changed her name.  There were only three episodes after that one, and in none of them was there any mention of her changing her name. -- Dpark 15:37, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In the season 10 episode, The One with Princess Consuela (original air date, 02/26/04),  we discover that Monica never changed her last name when she got married. Neovu79 10:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

text: yes i believe that after Chandler found out, she changed her name to Geller-Bing. or else their children would have been given the surname of Geller, knowing Monica. the twins are Geller-Bing.Deniserogue (talk) 20:35, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  name 

message: I find this note very bizarre. Monica hates her mother more than her father and Chandler went from finding out Jack & Judy didn't like him to overcoming this in the space of one evening. And the show never really shows Monica as likely to confirm to such traditions. Timrollpickering 01:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Death wish for Jack?! 

message: On the page, it lists Chandler and Monica's relationship as an "Affair", should this be changed to a "Secret Relationship"?

replies: text: Although dictionary.com does define affair as "an intense amorous relationship, usually of short duration", I, too, tend to think of an affair as a relationship between two people where at least one is involved with/committed to another person.  I left the first description as affair since the "intense amorous relationship" applies but later described it as a "deeper relationship", as opposed to a purely physical one limited to London.

message: At which point in the Series 8 finale did Judy ignore Monica when she waved to her?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snailsarefriends (talk • contribs) 11:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Judy ignoring Monica 

message: In "The One with Princess Consuela", Monica admits that she never changed her name to Geller-Bing when she is unable to provide information for Phoebe. Since there is no further mention of this in the final episodes of the series, this suggests name is in fact not Monica Geller-Bing by the time the series comes to an end. If her name is simply Monica Geller, shouldn't this be the name featured at the top of the article, instead of Monica Geller-Bing? Stormwhisper (talk) 19:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
