Everything never goes according to plan, because if it does. These famous names might have remained as it is. Surprisingly the name that we know were completely different earlier. So from Google to Mr. Bean. Check out these names below:
If in 1997 Google had not changed its original name BackRub, we would not have been googling information on the Internet now, but backrabbling!
Powerpuff Girls
If the famous animation trio were really called Whoopass Gils, which translates roughly as “girls who are ready to kick anyone’s ass,” things could be different. After all, this name suits them perfectly! Unfortunately, the creators of the animated series decided to take the path of least resistance and named it Powerpuff girls.
Mr. Bean
Rowan Atkinson in the first issue of his show did not yet have a stage name, and the idea to come up with a sonorous name for the character came a little later. Among the options proposed were Bean (“bob”) and Colflower (“cauliflower”). As a result, the option “Mr. Bean” won.
Snapchat
At first, Snapchat was called Pictaboo, but then the creators of the application received an email from a photobook company: it turned out that the name was taken. And later it was changed to Snapchat.
Yahoo
Search engine Yahoo! would not be so successful if it kept its original furious title – “Guide to the World Wide Web by Jerry and David.” Long enough, isn’t it? Sure, you could call it JDGWWW, but Yahoo (which stands for Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle) looks much more attractive.
Mickey Mouse
If it were not for Walt Disney’s wife, today we would not call the famous mouse Mickey Mouse, but Mortimer. Actually, the reason is that she hated the name Mortimer so much that Walt Disney renamed his character and later the mouse was called Mickey mouse.
Pepsi
Did you know that until 1898 you couldn’t enjoy a bottle of cold Pepsi, you could only drink Brad’s Drink? And who is this Brad? When the American pharmacist Caleb Bradham invented “Pepsi” back in 1893, he used his last name in the name of the drink, but changed the name six years later. So in 1902, thanks to the popularity of the new drink, the Pepsi-Cola company was born.
