The fact that Morton's name ends in a "Jr." has made some fans wonder if Bowser's actual first name is "Morton" as well. This is not the case. This curious nominal suffix is merely a nod to Morton's namesake, just as the "von" in Ludwig Von Koopa is a nod to Beethoven. Any speculation into other possibilities of brown-skinned Morton being adopted into the yellow-skinned Koopa family, for example Jr. has no basis in [[Nintendo]] canon, as Nintendo has never opined on the issue, one way or the other. In fact, the editors of the magazine [[Nintendo Power]] once claimed that when they asked Bowser why Morton Koopa was called "Jr.", he responded by pelting them with [[Bob-ombs]]. | The fact that Morton's name ends in a "Jr." has made some fans wonder if Bowser's actual first name is "Morton" as well.

One possibility is that Morton is Bowser's middle name, and Morton Jr. goes by this to avoid confusion. | |||
