Ralph

In Disney's Wreck-It Ralph, Wreck-It Ralph was a wrecker in the video game Fix-It Felix Jr. Ralph was the bad guy, who wrecked the Nicelander's homes, while they were repaired by Felix. Ralph was tired of being the bad guy and being shunned by everyone else in his game, so he left the game to earn a medal to be accepted. He went to the video game 'Hero's Duty' and got The Medal of Heroes. He accidentally hatched a Cy-Bug, and while trying to escape, ended up in the go cart game Sugar Rush, along with the Cy-Bug. There, he met Vanellope Von Sweet, who stole his medal and used it to enter the go cart race, despite being banned for being a glitch. Ralph helped Vanellope get ready for the race so that she could win and return his medal to him. The Cy-Bug had multiplied, and destroyed the racetrack before Vanellope could cross the finish line. Ralph sacrificed himself to create a beacon to destroy the bugs, but Vanellope rescued him. She offered to let him stay in her game and live in her castle, but he returned to his own game, having earned the respect of Felix and the Nicelanders.

In the Disney Channel series Dog with a Blog, Ralph was Stan's guardian angel. He briefly turned Stan into a cat.

In the animated series Fillmore!, Ralph Eddie was a minor character who appeared in a single episode.

Ralph is the English version of the Scandinavian name Ráðúlfr, which means 'wolf council.' In 2014, 193 boys were named Ralph in the United States.

Kenobi

In the Star Wars franchise, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a Jedi knight. He was Padawan to Qui-Gon Jinn, and later took Anakin Skywalker as his Padawan. He became a Jedi Master and served on the Jedi Council. After Anakin turned to the dark side and slaughtered the Jedi, Obi-Wan fought him, gravely wounding him and left him for dead. After Padmé died in childbirth, he took Luke Skywalker to Tatooine and watched over him. When Luke sought him out as an adult, he told Luke that Darth Vader killed his father, and taught him the ways of the Jedi. While on a mission to rescue Princess Leia, he was killed by Darth Vader.

There are many theories out there as to where Kenobi may have come from, but nothing definitive. I think that since you could shorten it to 'Ken', it makes it more wearable, but it might be better in the middle spot, or for a pet. Kenobi does not appear in the Social Security Administration's name database.

Colette

In Pixar's Ratatouille, Colette Tatou was a chef at Gusteau's restaurant.
