Trivia[]
- Evan's Chinese name is divulged to be Chih Fu.
- Jessica's real name is revealed to be Chu Tsai Hsai, Chu being her surname and Tsai Hsai her given name.
- Grandma Huang's chosen American name is revealed to be "Jenny".
- It is shown that Louis and Jessica were not born with their American names; rather, they were names they had chosen as adults while living in the United States. Jessica named herself after a song titled "Jessica" by The Allman Brothers Band, and Louis after an aquarium owner of the same name who was a customer at the diner he worked at.
- Additionally, Eddie and Emery are revealed to be named after Edmund Pevensie from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and an emery board respectively, while Evan was named after Nurse Evans, a nurse present during his birth.
- Honey's surname is stated to be St. Claire in Jessica's altered retelling of her past, with "Big Baby" confirming it to be her family name.
Errors/Inconsistencies[]
- Louis discloses that Eddie was named after Edmund Pevensie from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. However, Eddie from the show is based off of the real-life Eddie Huang; the real Eddie's name was short for Edwyn, not Edmund. Later episodes also confirm that Eddie is short for Edwyn.
Quotes[]
Emery: You still haven't told us how you got the name Jessica. Jessica: Oh, from the Allman Brothers song "Jessica." You know I love country jam-rock instrumentals. |
Evan: Deciding what name to sign is even more important than I thought. I mean, should I use my Chinese name, Chih Fu? Frank: Shoo Foo? Evan: Chih Fu. Frank: Seafood? Evan: Yes, Frank, that's my name. Seafood. |
Evan: I only practiced signing Evan Huang, so maybe I stick with that. Or do I go with Chih Fu Huang? But cursive F's are so hard. Eddie: Dude, we're just trying to get a toaster. So they picked the name Evan at random? So what? Louis: Eddie and Emery's names were just as random. Jessica: It's true. I thought of Emery's name while I was filing my nails on an emery board. Emery: I have chills. Louis: And Eddie was named after the child villain in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe who betrayed his siblings for some Turkish delight. Eddie: I don't know what Turkish delight is, but I'd do it again. Evan: They're not the ones about to sign their name to their first official document for all of time. Louis: You want to know how unimportant and random the name Louis is? Basically, I loved Lou Ferrigno and The Incredible Hulk. Lou, Louis. Simple as that. Evan: Okay, yeah. That does make me feel a little better. Eddie: But wait. You hate The Incredible Hulk. Louis: No, I don't. Eddie: Yeah, you do. Remember? I was trying to buy that comic book, and you said he was the worst superhero ever because all he does is get mad. You said, "That's not a superpower. That's a character flaw." Louis: Eddie, I'm just trying to make your brother feel better with a simple story of how I got my name. Evan: Wait. Is that not the real story? Louis: No. The real story is more complicated. It was 1981. I just arrived in the States, and I didn't know how anything worked. I answered a roommate ad, which is how I met your uncle Barry, who got me a job as a busboy in a diner. |
Louis: Anyway, that was the first time I ever used my name. And now that your mom knew me as Louis, I didn't want to be known as anything else. Evan: Sounds like the opposite of unimportant and random to me, Louis. |
Evan: Mom chose the name Jessica, and it changed her life. Dad chose the name Louis, and it changed his life. What I choose today could change my life. Eddie: What if I told you there was a third option? Frank: Is the third option going to a store and just buying a toaster? Evan: So, what's the third option? Eddie: Little bro, you can have the name your parents give you, the name the culture gives you, or the name the streets give you. Evan: Meadowridge Lane? Eddie: No, not the name of your street. Your name from the streets. Calvin Broadus became Snoop Dogg. O'Shea Jackson became Ice Cube. Emery: Reginald Dwight became Elton John. |
Evan: Topaz? Really? Eddie: It's my birthstone, dawg. Jessica: It's the worst stone. Frank: It really is. Louis: I died from swallowing buttons? Evan: None of your stories have been any help, especially not yours, Topaz. Eddie: Hey, I don't care what y'all say, that name is hella cool. |
