  • Friday
  • Wilson
  • Jones
  • Billy
Explanation

In the film "Cast Away," Tom Hanks gave the name Wilson to his volleyball companion. This name was given to the volleyball as Hanks' character, Chuck Noland, found the ball with the brand name "Wilson" written on it. As Noland navigated survival on a deserted island, he anthropomorphized the volleyball, treating it as his only companion and creating a sense of familiarity by calling it Wilson. This particular name choice highlights Noland's reliance on the volleyball for companionship and comfort amidst his isolation.
