I'm only noticing now that several Sesame scripts featuring Big Jeffy spell his name "Big Jeffie" with an ie. Does the "Jeffy" naming appear in anything official, and does the scripts' spelling rule those examples out? I'll brace for cleanup work. — Jon

- Sesamestreet.org spelled it "Jeffy" when he had a profile page years ago, if that's any help. -- Tony (talk) 00:27, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- The album credits, when given, just lump him with Monotones, as does the 1979 style guide (no name, just "Fat Blue A.M.") These spelling variations happen as we know and script spellings (especially for actors or real kids) aren't always correct, but the fact that most of those scripts were by Jeff Moss would suggest that's how he spelled it (they're also all later street scenes though, so nothing to indicate how it was spelled in the seventies or early eighties). Do any of the album releases of "Four" include lyrics? -- Andrew

- The 1995 CD release might include a booklet with lyrics. The Sesamestreet.org bit depends on what timeframe it was. If this was the late 2000s or thereabouts, there's a possibility that they could've referenced the Wiki for spelling, or just misspelled it. The only available captures of the former characters page from 2008-2011 don't include a Big Jeffy page. — Jon (talk) 01:19, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
