User blog:Carnassis/Rocket's Name

I'm perplexed as to why Rocket's page name refers to him as Rocket Raccoon. He's credited as "Rocket" in the film, he doesn't know that a raccoon is, and he is only referred to as "Rocket Raccoon" once, in a trailer that was released before the movie (by the Nova Corps, who really couldn't care less about his name, because they were throwing him in the Klyn anyway). Does anyone else find this odd?
