Talk:List of comic and cartoon characters named after people

message: 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)
:I'd say it should, as long as its indicated that their namesake is fictional then its ok. Also Ebenezer Scrooge is fictional, some people would say so is Robin Hood, although the line been fictional and mythological is vague. Saul Taylor 03:23, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

* Veronica Lodge
* Clarabelle Cow
* Donald Duck
* Winnie the Pooh
* Gladstone Gander
* Dexter
* Dennis the Menace
* Sylvester the cat
* Wile E. Coyote

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

message: 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)

message: 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)
