Thanks! I took #1 and #11.

BTW, I thought Caesar had already been named at the time of the scene in the governor's office where he chooses a name. I'm pretty sure Armando used the name Caesar. The governor was suspicious because Caesar seemed to know exactly what name to choose. "Caesar! A king!"

I don't know, I'd have to watch it again. I think he just chose that name in the governor's office because he knew it meant "king." I don't remember what Armando called him, but when he was born at the end of Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Zira & Cornelius named him Milo, after a fellow ape scientist who went back in time with them & was murdered early in the film by a caged gorilla. I only remember that because I have the poster:

I checked the movie and Armando does use the name Caesar in a very early scene. It is right after he and Caesar land in the helicopter and are met by guards.

I don't understand why Armando would change the name from Milo. PLOT HOLE.

Perhaps Armando thought if Caesar kept the name Milo, his identity would be easier to reveal.

Speaking of Milo and plot holes, I always wondered why the female chimp (Heloise) would agree to swap her baby and Milo. Although Zira says she and Heloise "understand each other," I find it odd that Heloise would give up her baby.

Yeah, after I posted my last comment I figured maybe Heloise's baby was named Caesar & when Armando switched the babies he also switched the names. And maybe Heloise gave up her baby because she instinctively trusted Zira, I really don't know.
