Pac-Man Trivia

As per Scott Pilgrim:
Did you know that the original name for Pac-Man was Puck-Man? You'd think it was because he looks like a hockey puck but it actually comes from the Japanese phrase 'Paku-Paku,' which means to flap one's mouth open and closed. They changed it because they thought Puck-Man would be too easy to vandalize, you know, like people could just scratch off the P and turn it into an F or whatever.
As per Yahoo News:
That theme continued with the game's name. In Japanese, "puck puck" is akin to the U.S. saying "munch munch". So the original name - Puck-Man - translated as "Munch man". (A savvy Midway Games official changed it to Pac-Man when the game hit the U.S. to discourage vandals from shaving off part of the "P," thereby creating an obscene word.)
Well here's the funny thing, the ghosts has names, wow! I just know this rigth now.
Here are the names of the unfriendly ghosts:

Blinky =  red ghost
Pinky =  pink ghost (obviously)
Inky = blue ghost
Clyde = orange ghost
