Was Gilligan WHOSE first or last name? :D (Sorry. Couldn’t resist! For trivia buffs, according to creator/producer Sherwood Schwartz, the character’s full name was Willie Gilligan. So… it’s his last name.)

Bonus points if you can name the Skipper and the Professor.

Skipper: Jonas Grumby Professor: Roy Hinckley. Their names were broadcast on the radio during the first episode.

So, before anyone asks, Mary Ann’s last name was Summers and Lovey’s real first name was Eunice. Guess that covers everybody….

And Thurston Howell’s name wasn’t really “The Millionaire.”

From IMDb: "Gilligan’s full name has been a subject of debate for decades, which was finally resolved by the release of Gilligan’s Island The Complete First Season on DVD in 2004. In a documentary called Before the Three Hour Tour. Sherwood Schwartz’s original treatment for the series reveal that Gilligan’s full name was “Willy Gilligan”, a name that Bob Denver sometimes gave during talk-show interviews."

From Wikipedia: Mr. Howell always calls her “Lovey.” Her name is Eunice Wentworth Howell.

And wasn’t he Thurston Howell III?

Finally something that disturbs his slumber.
