Sneezy, Sleepy and ???

I was at Walmart.  Yes, even I go shopping on rare occasions.  And I saw this:


It is a display of allergy pills that have "branding" associated with the recent Snow White remake.  Movie related marketing is not new, but seems to have been in decline of late, along with the general fragmentation of entertainment and the decline post Covid in movie theater attendance.

Snow White 2025 looks to be on track to become a major money loser, and to some marks a sea change in how movies will be made.  Others have commented at length on the recent trend to just take old ideas and mix them up by swapping in actors of different race, gender or some such.

Well, tickets are expensive and audiences of late ain't buyin'.

Only two "dwarves" are shown.  Sneezy and Sleepy.  Suggestions for the other five?  Obviously Floppy, and depending on your take on society I guess you could go with Wokey.  I spent all of 90 seconds trying to dream up a few more but decided that's about all this question merited.
