At 2:24 in his first appearance in the above 1941 cartoon "Puss Gets the Boot," Tom is called"Jasper" by his owner, Mammy Two Shoes. Although Jerry is unnamed in the short movie,creator Willian Hannah stated that the original name of the mouse was Jinx. The name "Tomand Jerry" was a suggestion by another MGM animator, although some say that the names wereinspired by WW II, when the British soldiers were called "Tommies" and the Germans, "Jerries."While "Tom and Jerry" was certainly an improvement over "Jasper and Jinx", no one seemed tohave thought of changing the name "Mammy Two Shoes" to something more resembling a realname and less a racist horror.
在1942年的卡通片《被解雇的猫》中,汤姆在两分二十四秒首次登台亮相,当时他被他的主人"两只鞋太太"称作贾斯珀。虽然当时的杰瑞还没有名字,但制作人汉娜表示这只小老鼠最原初的名字是"金克斯"。至于"汤姆"和"杰瑞"这两个名字,则是由后来的一个卡通片绘制人提出来的。一些人认为他们是受到二战的启发,因为在战时人们通常戏称英国士兵为"汤米们",而德国士兵则被称为"杰瑞们"。毋庸置疑,"汤姆"和"杰瑞"是"贾斯珀"和"金克斯"这两个名字改良后的结果。但似乎从未有人试图把"两只鞋太太"改得更像人类的名字或是不那么带有种族歧视的意味。
Tom's name is, in fact, Thomas. In the second episode, "The Midnight Snack," Tom is onlycalled "Thomas" by Mammy, although in the title card he is identified as Tom. It is not known ifJerry is similarly a diminutive of Gerald or Jerome, as no one calls him by his name.
