Does anyone feel lucky, What is Wile E. Coyotes middle name?

Answer 1

There are some that say it is Ethelbert, but to be honest there is no proof that i know of that anyone knows for sure. I personally think it is just a play on words

Answer 2

He has no middle name. It is a play on words. Wile E. Coyote (a pun on "wily coyote"). Despite numerous clever attempts, the coyote never catches or kills the Road Runner. (Although The Solid Tin Coyote does nab the roadrunner, he throws the coyote into his cavernous mouth following the "EAT, STUPID" command, and in Soup or Sonic, after running in and out of pipes that would magically resize the pair, the coyote is getting ready to eat the Road Runner, when he suddenly realizes that he is miniature and his prey is gigantic, to which he then looks at the camera and holds up the signs "All right, wise guys, you always wanted me to catch him - now what do I do?") All of his elaborate schemes end up injuring him in humorous instances of highly exaggerated cartoon slapstick violence.

Near the start of many shorts, usually during a chase sequence, the action pauses to show the apparent Latin (or scientific) names of Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, usually emphasizing the former's speed and the latter's hunger. This gag was intended to lampoon nature films that were popular at the time, and the names change from short to short.
