Gilligan's full name has been a subject of debate among fans of the series for decades, a debate 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", excerpts from Sherwood Schwartz's original treatment for the series reveal that Gilligan's full name was Willy Gilligan, a name that Bob Denver had sometimes given during talk show interviews. The documentary also reveals that Schwartz found the name "Gilligan" by opening the phone book to a random page. Bob Denver stated on a KDKA radio interview in May 1989, that Gil Eggan was his choice for the character's name. Denver reasoned that since everyone yelled at him, it came out as Gilligan. However, no first name is used in any of the three seasons, films or animated series. In "Rescue From Gilligan's Island", the returning castaways' names are announced. The writers, heightening the folklore surrounding Gilligan, artfully omit the reading of the first mate's given name.

It was never officially given on the show, but the late Bob Denver always claimed that series creator Sherwood Schwartz said that Gilligan's first name was Willie.
