Back in 2014 during a Q&A session, Akira Toriyama confirmed that the real names of Androids 17 and 18 are Lapis and Lazuli, respectively. Those were there names before they became Androids. Lapis Lazuli, you know, like the blue rock?
He also confirmed that 17 works as a park ranger. You know that one scene of 17 during the Buu saga where he was walking in the wilderness? That was him doing his job.

So yeah, contrary to what Team Four Stars fanboys might tell you, TFS DID NOT predict 17 becoming a park ranger. Then again, TFS fanboys believe that everything was influenced by TFS.
Speaking of the Androids, in the original Japanese the Androids are called Artificial Humans (人造人間 Jinzōningen), which makes sense if you think about it. Androids 16 and 19 are exactly that, androids (and so were Nos. 1–12), so the term fits, but 17 and 18 are cyborgs while Cell is a product of bio-engineering. The term "Android" is too specific and it doesn't fit all of Dr. Gero's creations.
EDIT: Oh, and remenber when some fans called Cell "Android 21"? This was before Dragon Ball FighterZ was a thing and introduced a character with that name.
