That’d be an easy way to remember them if Gilligan’s Island was relevant, but I’d be hard-pressed to find anyone my generation (Millennial) that’d seen it. Unless there’s been some sort of revival that I’m unaware of.
While I agree for anyone younger, Millennials may actually be a more knowledgeable group than you’d first expect. I remember it being on quite a bit during the day (looking out up, it was syndicated on TBS and TNT), and as part of the “Nick-at-Nite” lineup.
Very easy to confuse Gluttony with Greed, or Anger with Wrath. But they are each unique.
Gluttony:

Greed:

Wrath:

While we’re on the topic:
Sloth:

Lust:

Envy:

Pride:

Easy way to keep them straight:
Gilligan - Gluttony
Skipper - Wrath
Ginger - Lust
Mary Ann - Envy
Mr. Howell - Greed
Mrs. Howell - Sloth
The Professor - Pride

This should be more culturally relevant I think.

Kinda feels like the Skipper is Gluttony, AND wrath.
You look at bone skinny Gilligan and thing glutton?
Gilligan was always eating, especially when it came to Mary Ann’s coconut and banana cream pies. 😉
Oh god…I hadn’t considered the rule 34 of Giligans Island…
