* ''WesternAnimation/MegamindVsTheDoomSyndicate'': Megamind's sidekick, originally named Minion in the first ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'', is renamed Ol' Chum here (and by extension, ''WesternAnimation/MegamindRules'') due to the existence of Creator/{{Illumination}}'s [[Franchise/DespicableMe Minions]], who even debuted the same year as ''Megamind''. InUniverse, he explains he had to change his name due to a cease-and-desist order from the restaurant Mr. Minion's Meatcicles.

That's a comic book, and it started earlier, with the book.


** The lead character of ''ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'' was originally called Roger Rabbit. ''Literature/WhoCensoredRogerRabbit'' came out in the middle of the comic's run, and he started going by his middle name, Rodney, instead. (Notably, the book is about comic characters rather than animated cartoons, and also in this version Roger is [[AdaptationalHeroism much less likable]] than his [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit movie counterpart]].)



* After the success of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', the character Roger Roderick Rabbit in the comic ''ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'' was much more frequently referred to in-story and out by his middle name than his first.
