* In Season 13, press releases for individual episodes credit the character as "Uncle Teddy."http://thefutoncritic.com/listings/20230501fox16/ This continues in Season 14.http://thefutoncritic.com/listings/20230920fox05/
*Using information surrounding any aliases of he throughout the show, his full name can be considered as Theodore J. McGillicuddy.
**It has been implied his last name begins with "J" in the conversation where he tells the kids they could call him T.J. ("Uncle Teddy"). In "Thelma & Louise Except Thelma is Linda," he lies about having a wife and gives her name as Karen McGillicuddy, an implication that this may be his last name. On Funko's website, Teddy's official Pop! figurine is referred to as Teddy Francisco, but this was confirmed to be an error on Funko's part.https://twitter.com/lorenbouchard/status/1590027980574986241?s=20&t=LItwcZ-qrHvxocf_HPTq6A
