TMNT Name Abriviations - Page 4

I too like the full names better. The TMNT have beautiful names. When they're shortened, they sound... mediocre.

I would give my son (if I had one) any one of the TMNT names. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo... They all sound beautiful.

Hey, Buslady... Didn't you say that you would have liked your son's name to be Raphael, but your husband wasn't interested in the name?

But what is regarded by most as the most silly and kid oriented version of the green team, they call eachother by their full names....comments?

Raph sometimes RaphE which I find annoying

Another difference between old and new toon concerning names - Splinter.

In old toon, he was nicknamed like that by turtles "for obvious reasons" - because he splintered wooden planks with his teeth and palms. In new toon, it's shown that one of the boys calls him like that. The question is - was it his name under Master Yoshi or just a name adopted for turtles, chosen accidentally (because one of them said that).

About calling TMNT "sons" - have Splinter done such a thing in Mirage comics?

Nah, Chris was named after Christopher Lloyd. If I were to pick one of their names, It would be Mike. I don't think Eric would dig it if it were full on Michelangelo though! But I can live with Michael.
