1) Ernie Pantusso

2) Dorothy

3) Hassie

4) Pugsley and Wednesday

Interestingly, Pugsley's original name was supposed to be "Pubert", but this was considered to be too vulgar, so they went with Pugsley. In the 1990s Addams Family movie sequel, Addams Family Values, they rectified this when Morticia and Gomez had a new baby and they named it Pubert
