People familiar with the history of the cartoon know that when Tom and Jerry first appeared in Puss Gets the Boot in 1940, their names were Jasper and Jinks.
It is possible that the characters in these cartoons were nicknamed "Thomas", "Tom" and "Gerald" instead of "Jerry" and then the real names were lost in obscurity.
