[edit] Monica and Joey?
Under Trivia, someone said that the main couple on the show was originally going to be Joey and Monica, not Ross and Rachel. Is there a citation/reference for that, or is it even true? Dalton Imperial 00:16, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jewish?
Is Monica Jewish? I knew Phoebe rhymed Monica with Hannukah in her Holiday song, but is that the only evidence? I just assumed Phoebe was trying to come up with something that winter-related that rhymed with Monica. I know that the friends all do Secret Santa in one episode, which is more associated with Christmas. If she's Jewish, wouldn't that most likely make Ross Jewish as well?

- I wish I did research before posting. Anyways, here's some evidence to support that Monica is at least technically Jewish. In Season 10, epsiode 9 (The One with the Birth Mother), this dialogue occurs:
Monica: Maybe she will. Uh! Why couldn't I have been a Reverend?
Chandler: You're Jewish.
Monica: Technicality!
Also, in the season 7 episode "The One with the Christmas/Holiday Armadillo", Ross tells Ben that he is part-Jewish and tries to teach him to sing "dreidel, dreidel". So it seems that Monica (like the Gellers) is at least part-Jewish, but I don't think Monica's religious affiliation is stressed enough to list her as a "Jewish fictional character."

[edit] relationship
how about her relationship with Richard? 'cause it was pretty serious before she hooked up with Chandler. HoneyBee
- A Very good point. Does my addition sound OK? Dalton Imperial 02:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] name
Is she really called Geller-Bing? Because in The One With Princess Consuela she admits that she never changed her name.--Codenamecuckoo 08:28, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
Either we should move the spoiler warning to the begining of the article or her name can't be Monica Geller Bing. Plus, for the majority of the series that wasn't her name. Savidan 20:55, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- I removed the "Bing" from her name. Firstly, there should have been a hyphen there (according to Phoebe's use), and second, I don't think she ever changed her name in the show. As of episide 14 of season ten (TOW Princess Consuela), she hadn't changed her name. There were only three episodes after that one, and in none of them was there any mention of her changing her name. -- Dpark 15:37, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] middle name
I am an extremely avid watcher of this show (seen most episodes well over 20 times each), and I am almost positive that Monica's middle name is never mentioned. It is only noted that her middle initial is E when she invests in a stock with her own initials, MEG, in the episode "The One With the Two Bullies". Can anyone specifically mention when her middle name is mentioned? Thanks. crumbworks
- The article says it was never mentioned (only the E), and also adds "Though some have guessed that the E. stands for Elizabeth". This means "Elizabeth" is only a guess, not the official name. So starting the article with "Monica Elizabeth Geller" is wrong. I'll erase it. Sorry for my bad English. --Ec 00:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

- Ross is Ross Eustace Geller; since Monica's his younger sister, wouldn't that make her Monica Eustace Geller?

- Not nesecarily - Middle names aren't passed down the famlily line. For examle my middle name is Michael, by brother's is Peter.--Crestville 18:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death wish for Jack?!
I find this note very bizarre. Monica hates her mother more than her father and Chandler went from finding out Jack & Judy didn't like him to overcoming this in the space of one evening. And the show never really shows Monica as likely to confirm to such traditions. Timrollpickering 01:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
