Best Answer

Her last name is Gale, which suggests a storm, There is both a cyclone and a rainbow in the movie version of Oz so there is a (weather) subtheme. She, apart from the Wizard is the only really named character, on the Oz-side. The three good-guy monsters as I call them, have no personal names, a major credibility gap.

Gale- as in a type of storm. She is the only character in the entire movie- with the exception of human relatives- Auntie Em and Uncle Henry- that has a real first and last name! It strikes me the use of external noun-clauses-making characters one-dimensional cut-outs- is only used in modern times in this story. Even the Invisible Man has a name ( wait- the Time traveller in Time machine is anonymous) it is a dumb plot device. ( it was used in the Middle Ages with characters such as Jedermann ( Everyman) but this was usually with a pointed morality angle. This device shatters any attempt at realism. In making conversation with the various good-guy monsters - it would make more sense with they had first names- such as perhaps Raghead for the scarecrow ( seems to fit, etc. I don"t like the way this plot device is handled.( anonymity)

Did Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz have a middle name?

If Dorothy Gale has ever had a middle name, nobody has ever written it down or shared it. L. Frank Baum, the writer who created her in 1900, didn't even give her a last name in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (she got it in the 1902 stage play The Wizard of Oz, and it made its debut in the books in the third Oz book, Ozma of Oz, in 1907). He never gave her a middle name, nor told us the names of her parents.
