Good question =] Maybe they just picked random names?

I think the first answer is correct. I have heard it somewhere. It just made me laugh. One never knows what will happen when they have kids, especially if they are extremely creative and out-of-the-box.

I heard that Matt Groening named the characters after members of his family. Bart was an anagram for "brat" and referred to himself as a child.

Well since Bart is just a bit of a brat that would be funny! I can imagine the ribbing that takes place for his family member. Thank you for your response.

dear sysdexkucwríter..I have just readed something about our favorite serial :D
In 1987 it took only 2 minutes and then in 1989 it took longer and it was more famouse..The names of Simsons family are really names of creator´s family. His name was Matt Groening..Matt´s father name was Homer..his mum´s name was Marge..his sisters´s name were Lisa and Maggie..and name Bart arose from English world ´brat´ :D if I helped u..u can me write a mesage.. :D happy MyLotting :D
