Scooby Doo has been an insanely popular cartoon since it first hit our screens back in 1969. Since then, it has gone through a number of different incarnations, but there’s no doubt that it has brought a lot of fun and enjoyment to many people, both kids and adults alike.
However, it is not just Scooby Doo that is popular, even though he is the coolest character of them all. His human sidekick, Shaggy, is also recognized as being one of the cool cats in the show. His unkempt appearance, cowardly approach to pretty much anything, and ‘zoinks!!’ catchphrase has led to him having real appeal with the audience, but then we all know him simply as Shaggy.
What most people are not aware of is that Shaggy is not his real name, even though it is the one thing that everybody knows him by. So, what is the real name for this fictional character? Well, it’s the decidedly boring Norville Rogers, and you must admit that it would never have had the same impact compared to being called Shaggy. Sometimes a nickname really does work out for the best.
