When Walt Disney decided to make a film based on the fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, he knew he wanted to name the dwarfs. (They were nameless in the original story.) The animators went through a huge list of names, one of which was actually "Snoopy". Keep in mind, this was twenty years before the Peanuts comic strip was created, so if Disney had used the name, chances are Charlie Brown's dog would have been given a different name. Other names considered and rejected:
Awful
Biggo-Ego
Weepy
Gabby
Wistful
Strutty
Stuffy
Snappy
