Trivia
Where did Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, come up with the names Homer, Marge, Lisa, and Maggie for key members of his animated TV family?
  • From his own family. Homer and Marge (Margaret) are his parents’ names; Lisa and Maggie are his younger sisters. Reluctant to name a character after himself, he dubbed the Simpsons’ son Bart (an anagram of brat that just happens to rhyme with Matt).
