Dear Folks,
I finally did the obvious thing that I should have done at
first: I went through the list of Character Names and simply wrote
down one by one all the ones you needed in German, then made a list of
them.
Since I didn't see the list that I made two days ago added,
let's just start fresh with this list (some of which is more accurate
than that other list).
* = This is already in the list, but there it isn't quite
right, or not as complete as the current listing. Thanks to Fleetway
Comics' character name-guide for Paperinik's English moniker. If one
of those stories is ever used here, he'll have to be called something
different, since Archie Comics already has a character by that name!!
(A mighty bad one, I might add)
In English:
Paperinik = Superduck
*Brigitta = Brigitta MacBridge
In Italian:
*Donald Duck = Paolino Paperino (1934-38)
= Paperino (1938-)
*Minnie Mouse = Topolina (at first)
= Minni (later on)
Humphrey Bear = Humphrey L'Orso
In German:
*Donald Duck = Schnatterich (1934-51)
= Donald Duck (1951-)

Ludwig Von Drake = Primus Von Quack
Moby Duck = Moby Duck
Dim-Witty = Doofy
Neighbor Jones = Nachbar Nickel [often inconsistent]
