But, here's a fun fact: the Turtles were originally going to be named after different types of cheese! That's right, Leonardo was almost Mozzarella, Donatello was almost Provolone, and Raphael was almost Cheddar. Can you imagine the Turtles being known as the Cheesy Heroes?
The Turtles have had many aliases over the years, from their secret identities to their superhero names. But, have you heard of Leonardo's other name, Leo? Or Donatello's nickname, Don? Each Turtle has their own unique personality, which is reflected in their names and nichnames.
