I am going to be a father and am making a jellyfin setup for my child. I want to start early to make a good collection of movies and shows. So I am interested in knowing what other people experienced as positive influences in their lives.

Edit: English and Norwegian is fine, but I can always get dubbed versions of other languages. We will be speaking English and Norwegian with our child from birth. But want to introduce our child to many types of cultures, religions etc.

Edit 2: Thanks so much for so many great responses. Some of you must have spent quite some time compiling the list. Truly appreciate that ♥️

It's not Jonathan, but Jodocus.

But I agree, Alfred J. Kvakk is legendary and very much recommended.

Oh, I copied the English name from Wikipedia, suppose that's wrong then.

It really is. I wish I could rewatch it, but it's not on anymore unfortunately.

I dunno, I haven't found that version on wikpedia. But I know him by that name from the German synchro and afaik the Dutch original also calls him that.

[-] thymos@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, he is called that in Dutch as well. I got the English name from the Dutch page, but there's no source mentioned.

Looking through the titles in different languages, it seems wild to me how different they sometimes are. Polish and Serbian also use some variant of Jonatan. Makes me wonder why, they felt the need to change that.

I don't know, but wouldn't have guessed that Jodocus was a common name in Dutch either, that needs translation to be more common sounding in another language.
To me it sounds like a made up name, that vibes with the character being a duck.

I always thought it was a made up name too, but apparently it's an archaic Dutch name. German version is Jost, which I imagine sounds like the Dutch version Joost, which is fairly common (I now one).

The English version is Joyce, which became a female name, which could explain why they didn't want to use that and chose Jonathan instead. Maybe other languages just followed that choice? I don't know. I much prefer Jodocus though.
