Where To Watch
Can you guess the original names of iconic TV and movie characters?
The household names we never knew.
It's tough to think of the most iconic characters by any other name, but some of the biggest household names were actually changed at the last minute, discarding the original name chosen by the writer to prefer the version you've heard referenced all these years. This includes TV characters like Lucy and Ricky, movie icons like Indiana Jones, and many others.
Think you can figure out which name was actually the original name intended for these famous faces? Good luck!
