Names and Nuggets
In response to the post below:
It seems as if Pixar's creativity can never fail to impress us. Not only do the characters of Ratatouille have "appetizing" names, their meanings seem to relate to rather delectable morsels as well. So far, it appears that almost every known character in the film is named after a food or drink:
Remy - meaning "champaigne" or "from Rheims" or "rower"
Chef Auguste Gusteau - according to Wikipedia, the chef's name is derived from "gusto", an Italian word meaning "appetite"
Linguini - a type of pasta
"Rollie" - if you take away the "ie", "Rollie" becomes "Roll", as in a "roll of bread".*
For those of you who have not yet been informed, "Linguini" is proposedly a newly mentioned character who will appear in Ratatouille. According to the resource in the post below, he is a garbage boy.

That's so cool Mitch!
I have a post all about Linguini over at my blog. :)
Thanks, dude!
Oh yeah, I saw that in your blog, too. I replied to it. ;)
I just had great idea why (according to Mitch’s theory) Pixar named Rollie “Rollie” because take off the “ie” and then you get Roll a type of bread!, I’m so smart.;)
Haha -- hey, yeah! That's awesome!
Great find, JV. We bow down to you. (lol) :P
Yeah u should edit it and put it up on your post
I just included it in my post, JV! Thanks for the suggestion -- it's a great find.
Any time Mitch!
