I bet you didn't know.....

that the Michelin Man's name is Bibendum.

Do you remember Guy Smiley from Sesame Street? Pseudonym? Bernie Liederkrantz

Remember playing with the game "Operation" when you were little? Did you know that the patient's name is "Cavity Sam"?

Remember the TV show "Gilligan's Island"?

Just sit right back 
And you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip, 
That started from this tropic port, 
Aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin' man, 
The Skipper brave and sure, 
Five passengers set sail that day, 
For a three hour tour, 
A three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough, 
The tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost.
The Minnow would be lost.

The ship set ground on the shore 
Of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan, 
The Skipper too.
The millionaire
And his wife, 
The movie star, 
The professor and Mary Ann, 
Here on Gilligan's Isle.

(you can thank me later for that earworm!)

Anywho,

Skipper's real name? Jonas Grumby

And the Professor?  Roy Hinkley

Mr. Clean actually had a first name - "Veritably". He was awarded that name from a "Give Mr. Clean a First Name" promotional contest held back in 1962. Huh. And Veritably won? Gosh, I hate to see what the losing names were!

If Peppermint Patty was in school,

she would be called Patricia Reichardt

And finally, another Sesame Street character - Snuffleupagus has a first name. It is Aloysius.

Now what you are going to do with all this bit of trivia is up to you. Me? I have a terrible memory so I'm going to forget it as soon as I finish writing this post!
