Gilligan's first name was never revealed on the show. There is some belief Bob Denver announced on a talk show years later that the creators of Gilligan's Island had said Gilligan's first name was Willie. Jun 01 00, 7:56 AM

A few events in the early 1990s spurred the claim that Gilligan was a surname, and that the character's first name was "Willy": TBS finally aired the pilot of Gilligan's Island (an episode that had never been broadcast) in 1992, and TV Guide announced in 1993 that it had discovered (from an early press release) that Gilligan's first name was supposed to be "Willy."
