In Japan's Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury's real name is Ami Mizuno. When the show was translated, she officially (in production notes) became Amy Anderson, but the Anderson surname was never invoked onscreen (the "Mizuno" name was from the original manga, IIRC, where all the senshi had full names).
In both shows, Ami/Amy is half-American (on her [absent] father's side). Thus, the fandom just decided that Anderson is dad's name, now hyphenated. Thus, some references to the original show now identify her retroactively as Ami Mizuno-Anderson.
O___O That's news to me! You would think I'd know this since I'm a rabid SM fan (though I'm some yrs out of possible new info besides the live action show). Is there anything else that I should know about SM? Let me know

You know, I was just wondering about this a little earlier, because the "Serenity" entry on the IMDB has the character listed as "Jerry Lee "Wash" Warren.
They're not right %100 of the time of course, but they're usually fairly accurate. :-)

thats where I found the name, and I was wondering if it was true.

When I looked on the IMDB listing for Serenity, it said Jerry Lee "Wash" Washburne

It's getting a little less incorrect all the time.

Anyone with an account can update IMDB listings (or so I learned from a previous thread). The TV listing has "Wash" Warren. The movie listing has Jerry Lee "Wash" Warren. If I remember correctly, the TV listing used to have the Jerry Lee. My best guess is that they just copied the cast names from the TV show to the movie and then someone came along later and editted the TV show entry. So that's a long winded way of saying that IMDB listings are not necessarily canon.

In a weird twist to the whole Jerry Lee debacle, I just found out that Alan Tudyk and Jerry Lewis share the same birthday. Spooky!

I am wondering....
Has anyone thought of actually asking either Joss or Alan, or anyone that works on the show.
If they have, what have they said in response.
Is it some kind of secret or is it simply a matter of Joss not coming up with a name just yet, either way 'Wash' is how I will always know him.
