What is Indiana Jones' first name?

Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, Jr. is the title character and protagonist of the "Indiana Jones" franchise. George Lucas created the character in homage to the action heroes of 1930s film serials. The character first appeared in the 1981 film "Raiders of the Lost Ark", to be followed by "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" in 1984, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" in 1989, "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" from 1992 to 1996, and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" in 2008. The character is also featured in novels, comics, video games, and other media. Jones is also featured in several Disney theme parks, including the Indiana Jones Adventure, Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril, and Epic Stunt Spectacular! attractions.

Jones is most famously portrayed by Harrison Ford. The character is distinguished by his appearance (bullwhip, fedora, satchel and leather jacket), sense of humor, deep knowledge of many ancient civilizations and languages, and fear of snakes.

"You were named for the dog?!" "I liked that dog!"

I remember his Dad (Sean Connery) calling him Henry. Might make a good question.

I remember Sean Connery's statement in the movie, "We named the dog Indiana." When Harrison Ford asked his dad to call him Indiana instead of Henry, lol!!

Easy one for me as they were my favourite films as a kid, especially Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade! The dynamic between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery was hilarious. “Don’t call me Junior!”
