Starting in the Dino Island subtheme, the character was first called '''Sam Sinister''' in North America's ''LEGO Mania Magazine'' September/October 2000; confusingly, this issue refers to him as "Sam Sinister (aka Baron von Barron)" despite each name belonging to a separate character in the Egypt line.<ref>''LEGO Mania Magazine'' September/October 2000 - [http://biomediaproject.com/bmp/files/LEGO/gfx/LegoManiaMagazine/2000/5%20September/02%20Sep%2000.jpg Page 2]</ref> He would continue to be called Sam Sinister in online media such as [[The Lost Treasure of Ancient Greece]] and the LEGO Adventurers Minifigure Handbook. Adding to the confusion, this name is sometimes alternatively spelled '''Sam Sanister''', such as on the box art of [[5914 Sam Sinister and Baby T|5914 Sam Sanister and Baby T]] (although Shop At Home calls the same set "5914 Sam Sinister and Baby T")<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020228022623/http://shop.lego.com/ProductInfo.asp?product_number=5914 LEGO Shop - Sam Sinister & Baby T (5914)]</ref>, and ''[[LEGO Racers 2]]''. ''World Club Magazine'' Number 2 2000 calls him Sam Sanister,<ref>''LEGO World Club Magazine'' Number 2 2000 - [http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Phyoohrii/stuff/blogstuff/clubmagazines/june2000/june_2000_11.jpg Page 11]</ref> while Number 3 2000 calls him Sam Sinister.<ref>''LEGO World Club Magazine'' Number 3 2000 - [http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Phyoohrii/stuff/blogstuff/clubmagazines/september2000/september_2000_04.jpg Page 4]</ref>
