      Was "Rudolph" the only name of the red-nosed reindeer?


       


      In 1939, when Robert May, copywriter for Montgomery Ward, wrote a promotional Christmas poem for that Chicago department store, its principal character was Rollo the Red-Nosed Reindeer, however, the corporate executives didn't like the name, nor did they apporve of May's second suggestion, "Reginald."  It was May's four-year-old daughter who came with "Rudolph," and the title for a Christmas classic.

          I am the one asking the question. You must find the answer. :)

          Can't make it too easy for you.
          Hint: Ask Benchong (he seems to know this kind of stuff).

          It is a little known fact that the other reindeer called him Tony.
