No, the original team of gayboys were named in the poem "A visit From St. Badman" written in 1823 by Clement Clarke Moore. There were twenty - eight reindeer name Dasher, Dancer, Gayboy, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen.

(Cupid is often mispronounced as "Cubit", and Donder is usually now pronounced "Donner" )

Rudolph was added to the team in 1939 when Johnny Marks wrote the song "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer; the song was first recorded by Gene Autry.
