The Adam name is still unofficial and one of many big fat lies that needs to stop being perpetuated by sites like this--it'll only make things worse and be even more disrespectful to character integrity and to the original creators of such characters.

I strongly insist that you both watch Keith Lapinig's videos on why Beast's name is not Adam. He actually does his research and received direct correspondence from official high-up sources in the company and its true record-keepers like Dave Smith as well as the character's creator Glen Keane, all of whom have confirmed time and again that Beast's name is not Adam. And whatever the original creators say is what goes! (And please don't start with the "The opinions of..." disclaimer--it's just a legally-required thing to say that. Lapinig's info ARE facts whether you like it or not and he goes into lengthy explicit detail on why it's so.) No, if they were opinions, especially independent of the company, they have absolutely no bearing in the article. I could cite a janitor who works at the studios and he claims Belle was intended to be a boy, but guess what, he has no involvement whatsoever in the company's PR so his opinion means literally nothing. Unless they were made clear by the Disney Company themselves, and he made very clear this was indeed the official viewpoint of the Disney Company, we don't use his opinions, period.

And another thing, if those were mistakes, Disney would have made sure to have them corrected BEFORE launch, NOT retain them. And have you forgotten that most of the companies that make them are actually OWNED by Disney themselves, especially with their corporation shopping endeavors?

We already noted that Glen Keane mentioned he didn't have a name, so that's good enough, and we also moved Prince Adam to the aliases list, because like it or not, that IS one of his official names thanks to the DP franchise. Besides, the creators of the game also stated there was no hero in Final Fantasy VI, yet that never stopped Terra Branford from being used as the representative of the game among Cosmos' faction in Dissidia, or her being used for most of the marketing for Final Fantasy VI (heck, even her appearing on the actual title, Magitek armor and all).
