More Than Seven

Before Disney picked the names Doc,Grumpy,Happy,Bashful,Sneezy,and Dopey they had went by various other names. One play had given the dwarfs the names Blick,Flick,Glick,Snick,Flick,Whick,and Quee (no idea why there were two Flicks). Out of the pool of names not chosen are: Silly,Sappy,Scrappy,Snappy,Snoopy,Goopy,Gloomy,Gaspy,Gatsby,Gabby,
Blabby,Flabby,Crabby,Cranky,Lazy,Dizzy,Dippy,Dumpy,Snurfles,Dirty,Deafy,Daffy,
Doleful,Woeful,Wistful,Soulful,Helpful,Awful,Graceful,Tearful,Tubby,Weepy,Wheezy,
Sneezy-Wheezy,Sniffy,Puffy,Stuffy,Strutty,Shorty,Shifty,Slutty,(really?) Thrifty,Nifty,
Neurtsy,Hotsy,Hungry,Hickey,Hoppy,Jumpy,Jaunty,Jazzy,Chesty,Busy,Burpy,Baldy,
Biggy-Wiggy,and Biggo Ego. These names were all kicked around in 1934 in case you were wondering about conflicting character names like Snoopy (1950),and Daffy like Daffy Duck (1937). Did I mention that the Seven Dwarfs also have different names in different countries? Kind of hard to imagine them with any other names,but all the above were possibilities.
