Majority of characters are named after important people

It’s actually noticeable that most characters from the Baby Einstein series are named after very important people from years gone by. These are such examples - many people noticed the references, some were not sure. I have identified a few, and positive ones.

Bard the Dragon - Named after William Shakespeare, nicknamed “The Bard of Avon”.

Vincent Van Goat - Obviously named after Vincent Van Gogh.

Pavlov the Dog - Named after scientist Ivan Pavlov, known for experiments with dogs.

Jane the Monkey - Likely named after Jane Goodall.

Neptune the Turtle - Named after Neptune, the God of the Sea.

Isaac the Lion - Named after Isaac Newton.

Rudy the Reindeer - A shortened name for Rudolph, one of Santa’s reindeer.

Da Vinci the Monkey - Named after Leonardo Da Vinci.

Noah the Elephant - named after the mythology “Noah’s Ark”.

It is possible that other characters might be named after historical people. I cannot identify any other at this point, but it was very important that these characters were named after such historical people so they can be dedicated for their own legacy and what they did. One example is Pavlov the Dog, being named after Ivan Pavlov, because he experimented with dogs.
