Gilligan's first name was never mentioned in the series, and it was assumed that Gilligan was his first name. But according to producer Sherwood Schwartz, what was his real first name?

To this day, this is still a source of confusion. According to the original notes from producer Sherwood Schwartz, Gilligan's first name was intended to be Willy, though nobody ever calls him anything but Gilligan or "Little Buddy".
