P. Sherman's First Name

[Simba1]

According to two different sources, I have two different answers for P. Sherman's first name. Wikipedia says it's Phillip but the soundtrack to Finding Nemo: The Musical says Pablo. Can someone help me?!?!!?

Thanks in advance!

His name is never given in the screenplay dialogue. It may have been "Philip" in other materials, such as "behind the scenes" type books, but Andrew Stanton approved the use of "Pablo" for the musical. The writers of the musical thought it would be funny and slightly subversive to give him a hispanic name.

Rumor has it that Pixar employs many Filipinos. When they talk about the Dentist, the dentist goes fishing so he is a "fisherman" but a Filipino would pronounce it "P. Sherman." So no official first name originally. By the way, I'm Filipino myself so don't go calling me racist or anything.. haha

I don't trust Wiki for much of anything anymore...take anything you read from there with a grain of salt.

His name is Phillip. If you zoom into the diplomas on the wall of the dentist's office in the movie they all say Phillip Sherman, so maybe it's an inside joke for the musical?
