As an adult, I viewed the name Gaston of Beauty and the Beast's villian, Gaston, as Gaston's last name. I only assume its his last name because 1)the triplet girls call him "Monsieur Gaston" which is basically saying "Mr. Gaston" in the opening song called "Belle" in the reprise that Belle sings 의해 herself the line "Madame Gaston, his little wife?" Most of the time saying "Madame (name" would be like saying Mrs. Gaston. And there's the fact Gaston is a first name but it could also be a last name as well. The name of Phantom of the Opera's author.

Digoenes Interesting idea. Although it's weird how every one calls him by "Gaston," even Le Fou and the guys at the tavern. I think that like many animated characters, he just has one name (does Belle have a last name? Jasmine? Aladdin? Alice?) It seems to be a common trope in fairy tales/movies inspired by fairy tales for the characters to just have one name.

MadameLee With the exception of the live-action Cinderella, some people think Cinderella's last name might be Treamine in the animated movie. Alice's last name might be Liddel, since the girl Alice was based on (also named alice) family name was Liddel

324anna Wow, I had never thought of that. It may be true, although what Digoenes said about everyone -even Le Fou- calling him Gaston is true as well, so I guess it could be either way.

wanderingchild7 WOW. I honestly never thought about this before. I think it can be either way alsthough I still think that Gaston is his first name. And I find this Phantom of the opera reference quite ironic considering his character in the movie. Also Gaston's voice actor once played the Phantom in a play...
