Mr. Herriman's First Name
 

If there's anything that most of us do know about Mr. Herriman, its that he's the strict, no-nonsense imaginary friend of Madame Foster. But if there's one thing I just realized, is that his first name, not once, has never been addressed for most of the first four seasons.

The question is: does Mr. Herriman really have a first name?

The only one who knows for sure would be Craig and Lauren, and if he does have one, I hope they at least use this for a future episode of some sort.

But I'll just have to wait and see to find out.

If Mr. Herriman had a first name, it probably would have been mentioned by now, but it hasn't. I know that one particular writer of "fanfictions", which he insisted were actual scripts, once gave Mr. Herriman the first name of "Jack"(even though Jack itself is just a nickname for John), and put up entries on Wikipedia.com, claiming that these were upcoming episodes, in which he used that name, leading some gullible folks to believe that it was "official", but it wasn't.

Jack would seem fitting since there is such a thing as Jack Rabbits, but I don't think Mr. Herriman is based on a jack rabbit. I'd think that since he's on the snooty side, it'd be something like "Rabbit von Herriman"

Well Madame Foster calls him Funny Bunny. Maybe there's a chance that
his full name might be Mr. Funny Bunny Herriman. But that's just my guess. :terrconf:

I vote that his first name is "Mr." :herriman:

I think that Mr. Herriman's first name is just that, "Mister"

Because after all it's not at all that uncommon for a little kid (In this case Madam Foster) to just come up with such a fitting name for someone who acts like all authoritative like Herriman does most of the time. Especially since Madam F did grow up in a era where kids were always referring to their elders with titles like "Sir" and "Ma'am" and "Mister".

My money's on "Mr." as well. I can't imagine him with a conventional name and like Taranchula said, Madame Foster probably just didn't know better when she made him.

As many people have said, it's quite possible that Herriman's first name may indeed be just "Mr.". I don't know what else it could be.

I'd like it to be ' Avril ' :herriman:

Aw man, that's what I was going to say! But yeah, I vote for just "Mr.", sort of like how I doubt Bloo's middle initial actually stands for anything.

So, assuming that's his first name, if Mr. Herriman were in the phone book, he'd be "Herriman, Mr.". Yes.

That's my thinking, too. It's "Mr.", nothing fancier than that, although I think it's hilarious when Frankie call him "Peter Cottonbutt". 8D :frankiemad:

And she called him "Bugs" in the same episode, too. :D

Two different rabbit puns in the same episode! XDD

I think his first name really is Mister.... But if he does have another name, my money is on George. George Herriman ;)

Mr. H.'s real name? That's so easy.

It's Bob.

*bricked* In all seriousnes, I don't think he has one.

Well...indeed. :herriman:

I think his name is just Herriman, and he just adds Mr. in front for the sake of formality. I'm probably wrong though8D

For those of you who don't know, George Herriman is a cartoonist from the very early years, he's responsible for the Krazy Kat strip. This would probably be one of the best pop-culture references made.

Aw, LOL. I was wondering if anyone was going to get it.
That's why I think George is the perfect first name for our Mr. Herriman. :herriman:

I'm pretty sure Craig said so in an interview a long time ago. If not, I must have made the connection myself years ago. :P I do read a lot of classic comic strips.

I'd go for that. I used to have a JROTC teacher who once said, "My first name is Master Sergeant, and my last name is Wright." So this makes a lot of sense.

Although if it were a matter of absolutely HAVING to pick a name, I'd place my money on Reginald. No clue why-- it just seems like it'd fit. I can picture the signature on the bottom of official documents: Reginald Herriman. It sounds so Fancy Pants (yes, it's worthy of being capitalized) and Mr. Herriman-ish.

It is a pretty good fit, actually. :herriman:

Holy cow, thanks! I thought I was just going off on a nutcase trail when I thought of that.

Huh, never even THOUGHT about a first name for the rabbit. Mr.Herriman just suits him fine...he don't need a first name! :)

Mr. Herriman is fine, thank you.

Reginald, however, seems appropriate for this bunny. I think Nigel sounds good as well.

Mr. is the first name of Herriman.
