When Disney began work on the big-screen adaptation of Snow White by the Brothers Grimm in the 1930s, the writing team compiled the following list of potential names for the seven dwarfs (which, in the original story were unnamed)
They settled on Bashful, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy, and their leader Doc was chosen at a later date, but here's the pool from which they drew:
1.Awful
2.Baldy
3.Bashful
4.Biggo-Ego
5.Burpy
6.Daffy
7.Deafy
8.Dippy
9.Dirty
10.Dizzy
11.Doleful
12.Dopey
13.Dumpy
14.Flabby
15.Gabby
16.Grumpy
17.Hickey
18.Hoppy
19.Hotsy
20.Hungry
21.Jaunty
22.Jumpy
23.Lazy
24.Neurtsy
25.Nifty
26.Puffy
27.Sappy
28.Scrappy
29.Shifty
30.Shorty
31.Silly
32.Sleepy
33.Snappy
34.Sneezy
35.Sneezy-Wheezy
36.Sniffy
37.Snoopy
38.Soulful
39.Strutty
40.Stuffy
41.Swift
42.Tearful
43.Thrifty
44.Weepy
45.Wheezy
46.Wistful
47.Woeful
It's worth noting for extra trivia points that in 1912, the story had been adapted for the Broadway stage by Winthrop Ames. In that production, the dwarfs were named Blick, Flick, Glick, Snick, Plick, Whick, and Que.
