What was NOT one of the names tested out on our "red-nosed reindeer"?

Our favorite misfit reindeer was born out of a 1939 poem by copywriter Robert May. Trying to find the perfect alliterative name, May tested out Rodney, Romeo, Rollo, and Reginald, but landed on Rudolph as his favorite. Having lost his wife the summer he was assigned the writing task, the widower with children said, "I needed Rudolph now more than ever." Don't we all.
