    Before Fred Flintstone married Wilma she was Wilma________?

    Question #121090. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (Apr 15 11 8:57 AM)


    TAKROM

    Slaghoople though at one time it was Pebble:




    Wilma's maiden name has been a source of dispute. Several early episodes in the original series clearly stated Wilma's maiden name was "Pebble." In the episode "The Entertainer" (P-44), Wilma's old friend Greta Gravel remembers her as "Wilma Pebble". Again, in "Dial S for Suspicion" (P-74), one of Wilma's old boyfriends Rodney Whetstone calls her "Wilma Pebble." It could be possible that Pebble is her middle name. This wouldn't be illogical, due to the potential difficulty of pronouncing Slaghoople.

    However, later episodes and spin-offs also firmly state her maiden name was indeed "Slaghoople," based upon the name of Wilma's mother in the original series, Pearl Slaghoople. Flintstones' writer Earl Kress explained the discrepancy as such: "[I]t's just as simple as (Hanna-Barbera) not caring about the continuity." Maybe Mr. Slaghoople was Pearl's second husband and he adopted Wilma when they married. In The Flintstones movie when Wilma is leaving Fred to live with her Mother, Fred shouts "Come back here Wilma Slaghoople".

    "Sufflehooper" was also used at least one time

    Wilma and Fred's daughter is named "Pebbles" after Wilma's maiden surname.
