  • I have no idea but wouldn't it be fun to think Fred took her name?
  • The website for the Flinstone's say that Wilma's maiden name was Slaghoople. A very strange name.
  • As per Wikipedia: Wilma Pebbles Slaghoople Flintstone (maiden name Pebbles or Slaghoople) Wilma's maiden name has been a source of dispute. Several early episodes in the original series clearly stated Wilma's maiden name was "Pebbles." In the episode "The Entertainer" (P-44), Wilma's old friend Greta Gravel remembers her as "Wilma Pebbles". Again, in "Dial S for Suspicion" (P-74), one of Wilma's old boyfriends Rodney Whetstone calls her "Wilma Pebbles." However, it could be possible that Pebbles is her middle name. This wouldn't be illogical, due to the potential difficulty of pronouncing Slaghoople. However, later episodes and spin-offs also firmly state her maiden name was indeed "Slaghoople," based upon the name of Wilma's mother in the original series, Pearl Slaghoople. Flintstones' writer Earl Kress explained the discrepancy as such: "[I]t's just as simple as (Hanna-Barbera) not caring about the continuity." Maybe Mr. Slaghoople was Pearl's second husband and he adopted Wilma when they married. This is supported by the fact that Wilma's biological father has passed away Wilma and Fred's daughter is named "Pebbles" after Wilma's maiden surname.
