What were the names of the seven Dwarfs in the original Snow White fairy tale?

It is an unpleasant truth, but the original fairy tales often differ from the ones known nowadays. Most of them were NOT created for children and some plots might even seem vulgar to modern people. In our case, the story is not vulgar but there is still one interesting thing about it. In the classic fairy tale the dwarfs were nameless "seven little men" and for the first time they were named only in the Broadway Play, 1912.

To ask. "What were the names of the seven dwarfs..." and then to say they had no names is unfair. If they had no names, then do not ask, what were their names! Additionally, your question calls them dwarfs, but the answer says they were called little men rather than dwarfs. Your editors messed up yet again!

Steve McVey Obviously you are new to his s called Trivia game. As time goes by, you too will tire of the MASSIVE amounts of errors, imprecise questions/answers or just plain wrong info they throw out under the guise of trivia. If the folks that run this were working for Jeopardy they would be fired the first week on the job.

Your lack of knowledge is not the definition of a trick question.

I got it right and had fun ! Some of you are bad loosers and complain too much about every little thing ! Just have fun guys and girls

You were given the option of them not having names, so I don't see that this question is unfair. Anyway, I thought that everyone knew that the names were only a modern twee addition to the original tale.

If you Google it, they all had names and they were blick, glick, etc. I found zero information that stated they had no names! So, unless you've been misinformed or have read the original manuscript; I'm calling this an incorrect question and answer!

Totally agree with ruce Holden, in particular be ause they names in the Disney version and the word "original" is really misleading.

Richard D. Boyle

Not a trick or misleading question. It was quite clear from the question that the reference was NOT to the well known Disney film. Correct answer perfectly legitimate.
