Character	Greek Name	Translation
SpongeBob SquarePants	Μπομπ Σφουγγαράκης Τετραγωνοπαντελονής (Bob Sfugarakis Tetragonopantelonis)	Tetragonopantelonis is a literal rendering of SquarePants, while 'Bob Sfougarakis' means 'Bob the little sponge'.

Translations

• In the Indonesian version, SpongeBob is sounded "Sponsbob Squarepants", because "Sponge" if pronounced in Indonesian dialect will sounds "Sepong". Sepong in Indonesian means oral sex, and is therefore inappropriate for children. Spons is Indonesian translation for "Sponge".
