R2D2 sounds a little bit like Humpty Dumpty doesn't it? Or is that too far-fetched? Does anyone know if George Lucas had that in mind?

The name is said to derive from when Lucas was making one of his earlier films, American Graffiti. Sound editor Walter Murch states that he is responsible for the utterance which sparked the name for the droid. Murch asked for Reel 2, Dialog Track 2, in the abbreviated form 'R-2-D-2'. Lucas, who was in the room working on the script for Star Wars, heard the request and, after asking for clarification, stated that it was a "great name".
The force is strong with young Welser. It's amazing the kind of pop culture trivia awareness that's out there in the world. Thanks Mark!
I just cut and pasted that whole thing from some other website. I knew the basic story but not all the details (like the whole sound editor thing). But anyway, there you go. I'm a dork but I'm not a complete dork.
