What are they called in other countries?

[Drtooth]

As we all know, Sesame Street has been made several different times all over the world. But My question is, what do they call the other characters (aside from their new main characters)? I have a list in the book version of Sesame Unpaved. But it only lists Ernie, Bert, Grover, Cookie, and Kermit. I know a bunch of mexican translations, seeing numerous episodes of Plaza Sesamo. Ernie is Enrique, Bert is Beto (Berto?), Cookie is Lucas, Kermit is La Rana Rene (?) Grover is Archibaldo (or, as we'd call him here, Archie), Prairie is Auraura, Herry has a name that sounds something like...eh...Gringaldo (?) and a bunch of others have the same name, with an accent (Big Bird becomes Beeg Bird). But what about other countries, other characters. If anyone knows, please tell me.

Warrick has a great website with lots of info on the Sesame Streets in other countries. I'm thinking he would know ....
You should check it out:

I know some of these for Germany's Sesamstrasse:

The Count = Graf Zahl ("Count of Counting")
Cookie Monster = Krummel Monster ("Crumb Monster")
Grover = Grobi
Big Bird = Bibo

Most of the others have the same names, but there's a lot of crossover between German and American names anyway, so there would actually be someone named Oscar, Bert, Ernie, Kermit, etc....

For TONS more, check out Warrick's site--it'll boggle your mind. Or possible scrabble it. Or Yahtzee.
