What would you consider reasonable reasons to get a divorce? Most of us would probably say things like infidelity, drug addiction, and domestic violence fit the bill. Hell, even just general incompatibility.
But if we're talking 1993's Mrs. Doubtfire, directed by Chris Columbus, that list also includes throwing your son a birthday party even though he got bad grades and being a voice actor. Also, the judge thinks being a voice actor disqualifies you from being able to take care of your kids (paraphrasing, but pretty much).
Thus Daniel Hillard concocts a scheme so he can spend more time with his kids, even if they don't realize it. That should sway the judge!
And that's all the setup we really need to enjoy one of Robin Williams' all-time great performances and one of the funniest movies of the '90s. We don't even need to know the fictional British caretaker's first name to enjoy this movie. In fact, I'm betting you're not even sure if there is one. Take a guess to find out.

The answer is: Euphegenia. After trolling his ex using his voice acting skills and posing as a series of terrible applicants for the job of caretaking his children, Daniel finally calls up as the extremely well-qualified Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire.He pulls the last name from a headline he's reading during the call. The first name? Nobody knows where it came from and by God, I hope we never find out.Source
