Line 42:
== Live
* Faith from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' never had a last name in the TV series but was given Lehane as a last name in the role-playing game. It's now treated as canon. Kendra was also given Young as a last name.
** Similarly, Spike received his surname "Pratt" in IDW's comics.
Line 48:
** All the teachers are also given first names that they didn't have in the book. Miss Cackle's becomes Amelia, Miss Hardbroom is Constance, Miss Bat is Davina and Miss Drill is Imogen.
* The TV adaption of ''[[Dashiell Hammett]]'''s ''[[The Dain Curse]]'' gave the previously unnamed "Continental Op" the moniker of Hamilton Nash. The name was described as ''[[Dashiell Hammett]]'' "spelled sideways."
* Cartoonist [[Charles Addams]] never gave his characters names until his cartoons were adapted into [[The Addams Family (1964 TV series)|a TV show in the 1960s]]. At the request of the producers he came up with Gomez, Morticia, Fester, Lurch, Wednesday and Pugsley. (This last was his ''second'' try -- the producers rejected his first choice, "Pubert" -- which eventually got used for the third Addams child in ''[[Addams Family Values]]''.)
