A closer look
You really have to appreciate the audacity of naming a guy who constantly talks to a dog and eats six-foot-tall sandwiches "Norville". When Hanna-Barbera was crafting the mystery-solving gang, they gave the groovy, eternally hungry slacker a surprisingly formal birth name. "Shaggy" is just a nickname reflecting his unkempt appearance, meaning the police have technically been letting a man named Norville Rogers illegally investigate homicides since 1969.
