So, here's a question for the ages: What is Inspector Gadget's real name. Now, I have seen a lot of people who go with Gadget as his real name, and that's fine. I'd just ask: first or last, and what is the other. If it's not his real name, I've seen several guesses. John, Maxwell, and Donald have been the most common first name I have seen. Last names tend to be made up, though Brown is rather common because of the movie. I go with John "Gadget" Brown, mostly because of the movie. Real creative, I know. Though the nickname came from before he was turned into a cyborg. It was oddly prophetic.

Well, the series didn't mention it and Gadget's name was always Gadget. However, after finding some websites with some facts (I actually shared it igunlinited.freeforums.net/thread/65/18-inspector-gadget) it was proved that Gadget's real name was the one that appeared on the Disney movie: John Brown.

I always thought the John Brown ID on him was thanks to Disney until reading about that card that came out earlier in the 90's which pinned the name on him.

I never saw 'Gadget' as being his real name. First or last, it's just to...odd. I remember hearing about Gadget's real name being John Brown, a long time ago. I believe I even had a card at one time that said it. So ..I'm okay, with the name 'John Brown', but I really like the name Maxwell too, probably because of Don Adams famous role. As for the name 'Gadget', I see that as a nickname, for what he became. I also believe strongly the word 'GADGET' is codename for something. Example: (G.A.D.G.E.T.-Government, Agency, Department of Genetic, Experimental, Technology.) Or something along those lines!

I wonder why the writers didn't think of that.

I believe Penny's last name would also be brown or gadget.

I figured his name was Gidget due to 'Mayor Wilson' from the movie saying that he won't call her Evil Gidget. I think that means people call JOhn Good Gidget and Wilson Evil Gidget...... I dunnno, just a guess. I think his name is John Peter Gidget Brown or something like that...
