A rebooted version of the four turtles can also be named after timeless male art subjects renowned for their beauty (if not always for their skill): And it actually could be good. Just imagine it. Fab's personality wouldn't even really have to change.
 * Leonardo could be renamed Farnese after the Farnese Hercules, because one of Hercules' labors was the Nemean Lion, and Leonardo's name means "lion-bold." He could be called Farn or Farny for short.
 * Raphael could be renamed Fabio, or Fab for short, because he's just that fab in his own mind.
 * Donatello could be renamed Adonis, or Donnie for short, because...okay, I didn't have to think hard for that one.
 * Michelangelo could be renamed David after Michelangelo's David. He could be called Dave or Davy for short.



But I think I also made my point. 1. What if they rewrote Venus' character and renamed her something...not-sexist? Maybe like...Artemsia?

2. Farny, Fab, David & Adonis? Thank you for inadvertently inspiring me...now I know what to call the awesome foursome's human selves in my fanfiction!!
