First or Last Name?

Did you ever wonder why Gilligan didn’t have a first name? Throughout the show, everyone called him Gilligan. No one mentioned a first name. It wasn’t until Gilligan’s Island ended that creator Sherwood Schwartz told everyone his first name was Willy. Sherwood said about actor Bob Denver, “He thinks Gilligan is his first name, and I think it’s his last name. Because in the original presentation, it’s Willy Gilligan. But he doesn’t believe it, and he doesn’t want to discuss it. He insists the name is Gilligan.”
