I was going to try and wait to be the last Setback to give an answer, but couldn't beat turtle townsend... his lack of commitment to the advice seeking public astounds me.
To address your specific question, I figured it would be an easy one, even though I could not personally remember his first name. I can usually remember all sorts of ridiculous details about television shows. So I hit up the internet, and still could not find an answer. Until I lucked onto an unauthorized Richard Dean Anderson fan site (www.rdanderson.com). Where I stumbled upon this nugget: Like many TV heroes (Columbo, Quincy, etc.), MacGyver had no first name -- until the last season when, in a dream sequence, he was transported back to medieval times to find his ancestors. There written in flame on a castle wall, was his name: Angus! "Oh," Cooed a maiden, "it's a beautiful name." "Maybe in your time," he replied ruefully, "but where I come from... " Though I don't recall this episode, I doubt some crazed fan who spends all her free time maintaining a Richard Dean Anderson fan site would be wrong. |

Hi Belinda - thanks for the question. This isn't really something that requires me to flex my fully-engorged advice muscle -- rather more general knowledge trivia question. In any case, this is a trick. Macgiver has no first name. Nice try. |

Angus Mancuso Jepetto Hilary O'Malley Van MacGyver III. It's German. |

I don't know about that Steve....pretty sure MacGiver's first name was Terry. |
