Ok, I know I've started like a TONE of threads on Hook, but I love his character! And I've had this question for a while now. So, in OUaT, they seem to take the names of most of the Disney version characters, but they changed Hook's. And I'm wondering is that cuz he dubs as another person, Davey Jones? Lol, that one is not really serious, I can't really see him as Davey Jones. Or is it cuz they don't have the rights to the name, which also isn't really serious cuz the rights from the book would have definetly worn off already, and I'm pretty sure the movie too, So back to my question, does anyone know why they changed his name? I'm pretty sure he's the only one from a fairytale that was also a Disney adaption that they've changed the name of from that Disney adaption. So it's got to be for some significant reason if not any of the ones I said.
