Every Minion's Name

We all know Kevin, Bob, Stuart, and maybe even Dave, but is it possible to figure out the name of ALL THE MINIONS that appear in every piece of Despicable Me media? From the movies to the shorts to the comics and even commercials, it's my job to name each one of these little yellow SOBs.

I would say that the Bob in the DM2 credits-scene was just the Bob from Minions with a different design. He even has the same heterochromia. It’s kind of like how Gru’s CGI model changed from the first film to the second.

[@RealKillianTube]

That’s just cuz he was no longer as despicable

[@KrizpyKreamz]

I just assumed that Bob was him grown, as despicable me 2 takes place after minions and with bob being extremely small there, it would make sense for him to grow larger

My “Grown Up Otto theory” has been confirmed? In the 2024 Minions Olympics series, we see a minion that is lifting weights, and he looks exactly like Otto, minus the hair and braces. So, my theory is correct, but Otto just shaved his hair instead of growing more.

[@tesloche9349]

Actually the Bob at the End of Despicable Me 2 is still technically Bob from the Minions movie, its just it was still in development so the reason he looks different is cuz this was basically his Beta design before they made his final model we see in the movie

Minions in Depsicable Me 4: "Bruce" was a name seen on Gru's phone in the sky broadband commercial of this new movie. "Gus" is a minion with a new hairstyle and he is going to be the flying Mega Minion. "Jeremy" is a name that can be heard in the second trailer of Despicable Me 4 when the Laser-eyed Mega Minion (Mel) heats up his cup of coffee which goes through the earth. Ralph is a minion that stayed behind with Ron and Phil. Fred is a name heard in a Kings Hawaiian commercial (The minion holding the hamburger buns.) In the Minions 2015 book "Dracula's last birthday" a minion called "Chuck" is ordered to make fruit punch with Norbert. Benny has a birthday coming in the new mini movie of Despicable me 4, the same short also features Will, Hal and a second Tony whose a plump minion. Ted and Clint were named from that time Gru appeared on Ellen.

Hey, fun little theory I have on where the minion duplicates come from. In some concept art for Despicable me 2, by Eric Guillon, the guy who designed the minions, it shows Dr. Nefarion putting some eggs in a machine which hatch into minions. My theory is that the chicken minion laid more eggs somehow, and the rest of the minions maybe came from that?

[@RealKillianTube]

Now this is truly a yellow pilled minion opinion. 10/10 theory.

[@RealKillianTube]

Where can I find this concept art?

[@Kaijushorts2023-de4wq]

There is a tall one eye minion that was in the marketing for Despicable Me 2 and apparently his name is Harold just search up one tall eye minion and you’ll find them

@@RealKillianTubedon’t know but also he’s called John, but some source of says he’s named Harold. I don’t know exactly. Also, his name is Bill and bobbert so I guess there’s for one I told minions that are named Harold Bobbert, Bill and John and Kevin

One thing that I’ve noticed is that in the dm 4 sky commercial we see a scene where gru checks his instagram and he gets tagged by a minion named Carl who uploaded a pic of the minions and the girls, the catch is that the carl we see there is 2 eyed and has spilt hair. Different from the carl from despicable me 2, and below carl we see a minion account called Bruce, idk abt you but if I were you I’d count them in. Also pudgy is technically canon since Dave mentions his name when he saw that he was leaving, and Brad… his name was in concept art. And in the same concept art we see names like anthony and erik and victor and brett and Claudia?! Isn’t that a girl name, and in the despicable me post credit scene we see a minion get mentioned as carl, but that minion was fat and short, and in the same scene we meet John, a one eyed minion, and in the post credits of dm4 according to the script we see a new Kevin and Stuart, now I am not 100% sure about the last ones but the first 2 are def canon
