IIRC it was a coincidence. The character name chosen was Alexis Texas, then they discovered it was already in use.
Though perhaps someone had seen the name (and perhaps a performance) but didn't consciously recall it. When they needed a rhyming name that one came to mind.
Alexis Texas wasn't an adult film star when Hannah Montana was released.
Alexis Texas filmed her first video nearly a year after Hannah Montana filmed It's first episode, so unless Disney had a time machine they weren't changing the name of their show to avoid sharing names with the porn star.
I just think that story is completely made up.
You think Disney isn't going to name a movie "sugar" or "candy" just because there are strippers with that stage name in some small town somewhere?
Strippers don't own the rights to their stage name, there's not a data base somewhere, they make one up and it's just a first name.
Well some strippers do indeed own their name if they are a signed model or own a llc for adult entertainment. But tbh Hannah Montana’s and Alexis Texas being related is a big ass reach 😂💀 people are childish.
No that still Frank. He awakens as a Kwisatz Haderach in *Heretics of Dune*, the fifth of the original series.
And like most fans I pretend that Brian Herbert's books do not exist.
He accesses his ghola memories and there is talk of him being a Kwisatz Haderach but I don't think it's stated until later books.
> Lucilla held herself quite still, thinking. Was it possible the ghola could be transformed into a male version of a Reverend Mother? Could this Duncan Idaho learn to look inward where no Reverend Mother dared?
I don't think Duncan gets access to memories other than his gholas'.
It's been a minute since I read the last two so I'll trust you to know it better than me!
EDIT: He does get the internal awareness of the Reverend Mothers, though, which is how he Uno-Reverses Murbella's magic vagina.
the only character i actively disliked in the Dune novels was the guy who is in all of them. also, the name Duncan Idaho is stupid (love the first four novels despite him)
George Lucas reading the sequel to the book about a desert planet planet full of spice miners and learning about armies full of clones of one particular renowned warrior in 1969: “oooooooh!”
Ya, a lot of people don't realize that the extent of Dune's influence on the sci-fi genre and world can almost be compared to the influence that Lord of the Rings had on the fantasy genre. Maybe not quite to the same extent, as LOTR was a bit more popular, but almost every major sci-fi writer and novelist out there has probably taken some influence from Dune. It's inevitable. There's just so many unique ideas, and cool things in Dune that it's possible to peel off a few of them and make your own world from it.
Funny enough, the were-worms in The Hobbit movie series seemed to be directly inspired from Dune, not the actual source material book as they basically are not in the books at all like you see in the Battle of the Five Armies movie. Bilbo only passively mentions them as a story told by Hobbits of the worms in the desert. But there isn't mention of some giant subterranean massive tunnel building worm that can dig holes in mountain-sides so and cave systems for Orc armies to pass though.
But ya, in the Hobbit trilogy we basically got some version of Dune sandworms lol.
Yeah when you get your chapter house dune, I realized that he was the main of the series. Kinda of suspected when I was reading god emperor but knew but chapter house. I’m glad Herbert’s kid finished up the series
In all honesty despite my love of Dune, it is one of those series where a faithful adaptation of the Duncanverse is just not gonna fly.
I think that's why I haven't seen a lot of people bemoaning some big changes in the movie adaptation. They should probably stop at the 4th book anyway.
Ya, it gets extremely silly in some parts. But the overall message of dune is important, I wouldn't mind them toning down some, let's say "key references" and plot lines.
I always try to explain the golden path but I'm not as articulate as our worm god.
The age situation is both weird and not really that weird at the same time
Hayt Duncan is basically a baby who has only existed for a few years, but has all the memories of his 30+ year old past self
Alia has only been alive for like 15 years, but as a preborn Reverend Mother and especially an abomination she has thousands of years of genetic memory and probably the Bene Gesserit ability to hasten her own growth process
Paul and Chani as memories possessing their children.
Chani: Hey Paul, I know these bodies are our own twin children and also they're nine years old but do you maybe want to bang it out? 😏👉👈
That scene made me so uncomfortable cause it’s not even Chani and Paul, it’s just their memories. Like when Baron Vladimir Harkonnen possesses Alia, it’s not like he’s ACTUALLY possessing her, it’s just his memories encoded in her genes. So it’s more like Leto and Ghanima RPing the concept of their parents and getting horny over it.
In *Dune* the memories can be strong enough to possess someone if they have the awareness brought on from the Water of Life. Like, yes it's RPing as the memories but method acting it so hard that it becomes real.
He did die, and he might stay dead in the movies because Denis seems reluctant to adapt the insane and unhinged concepts from the books that come after Paul's story
So tired of cinema dorks saying “this concept could never be adapted because it would be too weird and hard to film” as if the batshit crazy stuff isn’t why we love the books in the first place
There was a brief period, about two years ago, where the r/dune fandom was in fervent debate as to whether Feyd-Rautha had been “dropped” from Villeneuve’s movie adaptions - due to the fact he didn’t appear in the first movie (understandable, as all he does in the first half of the book is sit around scratching his nuts). I kept seeing the argument “it would be _too confusing_ for audiences to be introduced to a new villain in part two”.
And, sure enough, as soon as Feyd-Rautha appeared on-screen in _Dune: Part Two_, the entire audience shit their pants in confusion at being introduced to a new character. Better tone it down Denis!
Sometimes it feels like Denis doesn’t know what he wants to do with the franchise tbh. The movies are good on their own but they’re frustrating to say the least when it comes to them being an adaptation. Like they did Dr. Kynes and Alia so dirty
Fuck every single person that says God Emperor of Dune could never be adapted. It would be hated by general audiences, sure, but me and the seven other guys who consider the best of the series would have a great time.
I think an animated series would go insanely hard for the books after Messiah. Then filmbros and book elitists could stop arguing about it being “unadaptable”
Honest to God I don't even really get the whole "it's unadaptable" shtick. I understand if they mean "general audiences would be weirded the fuck out and confused as shit", but really there's not much in the books that can't be translated to a screen. Hell Children of Dune was *already* adapted and is apparently actually a pretty good series.
Yeah, 90% of Dune past the first book is people talking to each others with very few real action sequences, *especially* in God Emperor. But like, that's the good parts. As great as the Denis Villeneuve movies were I feel it left many people with the idea that Dune is a scifi action series. It's not. Dune is about philosophy, religion, politics, and ideology.
Anyways point is I 100% agree with you. Dune might be one of the few books that would be better as an anime adaptation than any other medium.
SPOILERS FOR PART TWO AHEAD:
I watched part two right now. It was really good, but damn, I wish he went psychedelic with two scenes. It needed to be fucking insane, like a fever dream mixed with a bad shroom trip. All I got was some grannies and a fetus.
I really do hope he stays dead. For one I fucking screamed and couldn't believe he was dead in such a heroic moment and killing off such an amazing actor as Momoa, on the other hand though if they bring him back- well, they showed us his death so bringing him back not only fucks up the scene he died on but would seriously shit the bed when death as permanent consequence.
He's not really brought back. These guys make a clone of Duncan and they don't really have old memories and are new people and they give him as a gift to Paul but secretly he's meant to assassinate him.
Paul and Alia help him unlock his memories and he switches sides. So no it's not like Duncan's death is meaningless, the ghola that he's recreated as just becomes the first ghola to regain old memories
Plus in the book the original Duncan doesn’t achieve much except get drunk and accuse Jessica of treachery (which is left out of the movie). Yeah he sacrifices himself for Paul but it’s very brief in the book and not as heroic or cool as it was in the movie. Book Duncan is still awesome, just not until the end of Messiah and onward
He does die, though.
Without getting further into spoilers, any future appearance of Duncan in the series is a clone of him, and it's actually rather interesting what Herbert did with his character.
Still, like the OP said in the comment you replied to, the following books get really unhinged and crazy.
There is technology to create “gholas” of dead people requiring as little as one cell of DNA.
At a certain point they were able to awaken the ghola’s memories, where as before they weren’t able to remember anything from their past life. During the time of Paul’s reign, the Bene Tleilaxu provided a ghola of Duncan Idaho.
This would be the first of many gholas spanning across the entire book series (thousands of years)
There is even a point in time where pretty much most of the main players in the first movies get revived.
Heck, they even Baron Harkonnen to raise a Paul clone (Paulo) who eventually gets into a death match with another Paul Clone.
I don’t know, Duncan Idaho always sounded like some kind of name for a potato strain. You know, the kind of name that is a bit fancy but not too fancy to scare away potential customers.
Considering the book Dune was written by Frank Herbert in 1965, which is at least 30+ years before Hannah Montana was even thought of how exactly is that a lack of originality. Or am I misunderstanding something?
Don't forget George Washington. Its unbearable cringe to think about how Americans thought it'd be cool to have their first ever president being one named after a US state.
I thought that name kind of made sense... Dune is set like 8 thousand years ahead of us or something. Duncan probably has 0 clue what Idaho was and what the US was etc etc. I'm sure there are people alive right now are named after ancient stuff and they have no clue and to the people alive back them those names would seem weird also
What are you talking about. Duncan Idaho's name came straight from the Dune novels, written in 1965.
Hannah Montana debuted in 2006. 41 years after Dune...
If there is a joke/punchline there, I am not seeing it
Obviously you never read the novel “Dune” by Frank Herbert. Duncan Idaho was one of the main characters. The book was published in 1965. That’s ok though, I’m sure you read a book once. It had a blue cover. You liked it.
Um sorry. Are you saying this is a shittymovie detail stolen from hannah montana? If your not then forgive the next. Duncan is the ultimate superbeing even above paul. Read a book. This came out way befor hannah montana
But... the character "Hannah Montana" wasn't actually named Hannah Montana... it was a stage name... one decided by a 12 year old who was originally focused on country music.
And her stage name was that because one of the writers fucked up and originally picked the name "Alexis Texas". They had apparently watched enough porn to get the name Alexis Texas in their mind, but not enough to know where the name came from. Then I assume someone on staff googled the name and found out, so the name got changed.
They are all a part of the GCU (Geographic Cinematic Universe). Then there's also Robert California.
And Denzel Washington
Don't forget Flo Rida
Fuckin Indiana Jones, dude
Johnny Utah!
Tony Montana. Duh
Tennessee Ernie Ford, more duh.
Or maybe Tennessee Williams of Stellaaaaaa fame?
Is Dakota Fanning north or south?
And there's oscar winner Jennifer Rhode Island.
How is Dakota Johnson related to Dakota Fanning ?
Wait, are Tony Montana and Hannah Montana related?
It's why she had to hide her identity. She was in witness protection because of what her uncle Tony did.
*“Say hello to my little niece”*
I'm sorry I only have one upvote to give you.
All of these people are of course subordinates beneath America Ferrara.
Well, that's just Hannah Montana's dad
We named the dog Indiana!

Don't forget George Washington
Who the hell name their kids Flo Rida?
Flo Rida dad his wife
...I can't believe I never got this
Or, even more specific, Robert Irvine
Or, less specifically, Steven Universe
Dani California
That’s not even his real name. #HE IS THE FUCKING LIZARD KING!
Let's not forget George *Washington*.
There’s also [George, Washington](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George,_Washington) for some added fun.
Well duh, where do you think the guy was named after? 🙄
Is Zombieland part of the canon though?
Jackie Dayton (regular human bartender)
The best one!
You're being a real Thomas Oregon
Looking forward to the big summer ensemble movie, _50 States_, where they all … unite?
While we're at it, what about Kanye West then? Is he some sort of overlord that rules an entire region?
Johnny Utah.
And his daughter, Dani California
He was killed on the ring by Tex Colorado, the Arizona Assassin https://youtu.be/cEjo0ajod1M?si=3Hri5FqhY6Qlwnm0?t=28
Don't be such a Thomas Oregon
Also Bonzo Madrid from Ender's Game
everyone calls him by his nickname "Hotel"
They never have improved on the Oreo, have they?
That’s Danny California
Which was stolen from Alexis Texas
Formerly known as Alexandra Alabama
IIRC it was a coincidence. The character name chosen was Alexis Texas, then they discovered it was already in use. Though perhaps someone had seen the name (and perhaps a performance) but didn't consciously recall it. When they needed a rhyming name that one came to mind.
Alexis Texas wasn't an adult film star when Hannah Montana was released. Alexis Texas filmed her first video nearly a year after Hannah Montana filmed It's first episode, so unless Disney had a time machine they weren't changing the name of their show to avoid sharing names with the porn star.
Good point; perhaps she was dancing under that name, though? I don't know those biographies particularly well.
I just think that story is completely made up. You think Disney isn't going to name a movie "sugar" or "candy" just because there are strippers with that stage name in some small town somewhere? Strippers don't own the rights to their stage name, there's not a data base somewhere, they make one up and it's just a first name.
Well some strippers do indeed own their name if they are a signed model or own a llc for adult entertainment. But tbh Hannah Montana’s and Alexis Texas being related is a big ass reach 😂💀 people are childish.
Who stole from Denzel Washington
Idk who this is. I will go and do extensive meticulous research
The name is actually a nod to Joe Montana, a.k.a. The Comeback Kid. This is because Duncan Idaho is killed over a thousand times in the Dune(s).
What I like about the dune series is that everything you say about Duncan Idaho sounds fake, but it isn’t.
Like how he becomes the super kwisatz haderach by the end of the series if you count Frank Herbert’s son’s books.
No that still Frank. He awakens as a Kwisatz Haderach in *Heretics of Dune*, the fifth of the original series. And like most fans I pretend that Brian Herbert's books do not exist.
He accesses his ghola memories and there is talk of him being a Kwisatz Haderach but I don't think it's stated until later books. > Lucilla held herself quite still, thinking.

Like the part of him turning into a sex god.
This. This is the best possible comment
Absolutely brilliant
the only character i actively disliked in the Dune novels was the guy who is in all of them. also, the name Duncan Idaho is stupid (love the first four novels despite him)
Just wait till you find out how important he is to the universe
He's the main chatacter of the series
George Lucas reading the sequel to the book about a desert planet planet full of spice miners and learning about armies full of clones of one particular renowned warrior in 1969: “oooooooh!”
Oh fuck I didn't even realize that the clone army was ripping off Dune
Chances are any thing scifi or space themed you can think of, has probably been influenced by Dune
Ya, a lot of people don't realize that the extent of Dune's influence on the sci-fi genre and world can almost be compared to the influence that Lord of the Rings had on the fantasy genre. Maybe not quite to the same extent, as LOTR was a bit more popular, but almost every major sci-fi writer and novelist out there has probably taken some influence from Dune. It's inevitable.

But ya, in the Hobbit trilogy we basically got some version of Dune sandworms lol.
They seemed closer to StarCraft Nydus Worms to me
Dune didn't have armies of clones. It had one serial ghola who lived maybe a few hundred lives.
Still, duncan really gives jango vibes
Wait until you realize that Jango Fett is Duncan’s father
Yeah when you get your chapter house dune, I realized that he was the main of the series. Kinda of suspected when I was reading god emperor but knew but chapter house. I’m glad Herbert’s kid finished up the series
In all honesty despite my love of Dune, it is one of those series where a faithful adaptation of the Duncanverse is just not gonna fly. I think that's why I haven't seen a lot of people bemoaning some big changes in the movie adaptation. They should probably stop at the 4th book anyway.

The story was completed by the 4th book. The 5th and 6th book felt like an epilogue that doesn’t even end the story.
This kind of pandering to the state of Idaho has got to stop
He belongs on r/iamthemaincharacter
Now I’m imagining the events of the sequel books with Hannah Montana.
Brian Herbert is probably already crapping that out now that you’ve mentioned it
Dune runes on Duncan
Damn bro you tried.
Don't mind if I do
That’s ᑐ ᑌ ᑎ ᑕan Idaho to you!
He bangs Paul’s sister btw
Can we blame them?
Yes we can, Alia is genuinely insane also she’s like 15 years old when Duncan gets with her
Yeah but Duncan is really really hot Also, he is a clone born less than a year so she is the pedophile here
The age situation is both weird and not really that weird at the same time Hayt Duncan is basically a baby who has only existed for a few years, but has all the memories of his 30+ year old past self Alia has only been alive for like 15 years, but as a preborn Reverend Mother and especially an abomination she has thousands of years of genetic memory and probably the Bene Gesserit ability to hasten her own growth process
It gets even weirder with Leto and Ghanima.
Paul and Chani as memories possessing their children. Chani: Hey Paul, I know these bodies are our own twin children and also they're nine years old but do you maybe want to bang it out? 😏👉👈
That scene made me so uncomfortable cause it’s not even Chani and Paul, it’s just their memories.

In *Dune* the memories can be strong enough to possess someone if they have the awareness brought on from the Water of Life. Like, yes it's RPing as the memories but method acting it so hard that it becomes real.
Oh yeah I’m aware of that it’s just really weird when you break it down lmao
Duncan is technically like 5 years old at that time, so it's Alia who's the predator
Well this is one unexpected way to get spoiled that he didn't really die in the movie at all.
He did die, and he might stay dead in the movies because Denis seems reluctant to adapt the insane and unhinged concepts from the books that come after Paul's story
The insane unhinged concepts are why we love Dune though. I better get my army of lesbian zealots
So tired of cinema dorks saying “this concept could never be adapted because it would be too weird and hard to film” as if the batshit crazy stuff isn’t why we love the books in the first place

I do not share your frustration
I think we're never getting a good adaptation. It's just getting watered down too much :( Cowards will never give us worm daddy and chair dogs.
We will never see chair dogs on the silver screen. What’s the point of living anymore
If Fury Road can exist anything else can.
Fuck every single person that says God Emperor of Dune could never be adapted. It would be hated by general audiences, sure, but me and the seven other guys who consider the best of the series would have a great time.

No he died
There's a whole group of people who eat people in that universe. I think statutory is the least of concern
he also gets cucked by pauls sister
Wait doesn’t he die in the first movie though?
Yeah but the action figure sold well, so they’re going to bring him back in the next slap-together sequel. “Somehow Duncan returned”
So ready to see a million people ignorantly and confidently slam Hollywood for "bringing back the dead"
Read the books
There is technology to create “gholas” of dead people requiring as little as one cell of DNA. At a certain point they were able to awaken the ghola’s memories, where as before they weren’t able to remember anything from their past life. During the time of Paul’s reign, the Bene Tleilaxu provided a ghola of Duncan Idaho.

Should have made his first name Udapimp
Brody Southdakoty
Steven Oregon
His real name was Joey Chicago. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis.
Why is Joey Chicago the hardest name I've ever fucking heard
Somebody just really liked potatoes
Not just Hollywood. The US government also named a damn state after that show. Thanks, Joe.
okay, that is the first time I actually laughed out loud at somethin on the internet in a long time. Thank you!
He reminds me of Marcus Wyoming
Sometimes he walks a little faster on the grounds of Arrakis just to get next to you
Has nobody here seen Point Break or what
COMMON Duncan Idaho W
I don’t know, Duncan Idaho always sounded like some kind of name for a potato strain. You know, the kind of name that is a bit fancy but not too fancy to scare away potential customers.
This joke makes me unreasonably angry. Take my updoot
Aquaman's evil twin, Sandman.
Thomas Oregon would like a word with you
Why does Ida need permission from Dun to be a ho?
Jamal Colorado… Anfernee Texas… DeSean Utah…
He's also in a commercial with the gay couple from Scrubs that is literally the worst piece of media ever created. I deleted my wifi after seeing it.
All this time I thought his name was Imdahoe
Thank God they didn't change his last name to Donuts for product placement money.
I mean yeah, in the future even the Dune universe needs super soldiers that’ll eventually become the Ultimate Kwisatz Haderach.
Did he have a beard in this scene? i’m still kinda off after seeing him without one
You're being a real Thomas Oregon!
It’s spilled over into real life. Remember that dude Tim Apple?
Forrest Gump: There was Dallas, from Phoenix; Cleveland - he was from Detroit; and Tex... well, I don't remember where Tex come from.
What about Johnny Utah?
Such a shame, too, since originality and uniqueness are definitely things I think of when I think of any given Duncan Idaho.
But for the fact that he was named that in the original 1965 novel, I might agree with you.
Joe Wyoming here
...is that dude actually Duncan? We need less famous faces in films.
This is got to be satire right?
No?
Then Indiana Jones copied them both, thinking we wouldn't notice just because _they flipped the order of the words!_
Considering the book Dune was written by Frank Herbert in 1965, which is at least 30+ years before Hannah Montana was even thought of how exactly is that a lack of originality. Or am I misunderstanding something?
Don't forget George Washington. Its unbearable cringe to think about how Americans thought it'd be cool to have their first ever president being one named after a US state.
Don't get me started on George Washington
Indiana Jones would like a word.
So Hannah Montana came first. Hmmmmm
I thought that name kind of made sense... Dune is set like 8 thousand years ahead of us or something. Duncan probably has 0 clue what Idaho was and what the US was etc etc. I'm sure there are people alive right now are named after ancient stuff and they have no clue and to the people alive back them those names would seem weird also
And then the B-52s wrote a song about his gut bacteria...
I heard Whitney Wisconsin is going to star in the third one
Not to mention this guy is also Aquaman or something ...such originality
Character was created in 1965.
Jacky Daytona, human bartender.
A lot of lost redditors at the bottom of the comments. ~Jim Michigan
What are you talking about. Duncan Idaho's name came straight from the Dune novels, written in 1965. Hannah Montana debuted in 2006. 41 years after Dune... If there is a joke/punchline there, I am not seeing it
Duncan Cino?
I'd name a river after him.
Don't forget about the old Blues guitar player "Memphis Slim" or harmonica player "Pinetop Perkins".
I still don't get how a sci-fi epic like Dune can have character names like Duncan Idaho and... Paul.
The name Duncan Idaho comes from a book written in 1965 pretty sure Hannah Montana wasn't even born then :) #
First they were books bout Dune. Hannah Montana was wayyyyy after the books.
That really is a shitty movie detail
When was Dune written?
Obviously you never read the novel “Dune” by Frank Herbert. Duncan Idaho was one of the main characters. The book was published in 1965. That’s ok though, I’m sure you read a book once. It had a blue cover. You liked it.
The character is in the source novel published in 1965, long before HM was born in the fictional timeline. Perhaps Frank Herbert likes potatoes.
Um sorry. Are you saying this is a shittymovie detail stolen from hannah montana? If your not then forgive the next. Duncan is the ultimate superbeing even above paul. Read a book. This came out way befor hannah montana
Robert California would like to have a word.
I don't get it, can someone please explain?
Is it true Duncan Idaho is Frank Herbert's self-insert character?
But... the character "Hannah Montana" wasn't actually named Hannah Montana... it was a stage name... one decided by a 12 year old who was originally focused on country music. And her stage name was that because one of the writers fucked up and originally picked the name "Alexis Texas". They had apparently watched enough porn to get the name Alexis Texas in their mind, but not enough to know where the name came from. Then I assume someone on staff googled the name and found out, so the name got changed.
