After first drawing his famous mouse, Walt wanted to call Mickey, Mortimer Mouse. Disney’s wife thought the name sounded too pompous. Walt was an intelligent man and listened to his wife who gave him the name Mickey instead. Mortimer was not lost to Disney though as the rival mouse in some Mickey episodes was named Mortimer Mouse. Thank you for the renaming Mrs. Disney.
