: Lucas should've just named him Smith!

    ... he almost did! His original name for the character was Indiana Smith, but Steven Spielberg then suggested that the name might cause confusion with those who remember a character played by Steve McQueen in the 1950's called Nevada Smith.

    So then they decided to name the character Indiana Jones. :)
