The Dwarfs Snow White Never Met

SNOW WHITE
The diminutive septet in the Brothers Grimm original tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs did not have individual names.  When Walt Disney released the animated version of the story in 1937, he corrected that omission with Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy and Sneezy.  As MovieFanFare informed me, however, there were a bunch of other potential dwarf names that were rejected, including Awful, Burpy, Chesty, Dizzy, Hotsy, etc.
