## Trivia

* **Ninjamuffin99**, **PhantomArcade** and **Kawai Sprite** have all stated that Boyfriend's name is simply Boyfriend.
	+ An official t-shirt created in collaboration with **PKettles** and **Shark Robot** refers to him as Boyfriend.
		- Additionally, there are currently two opening lines in the intro sequence that de-confirms two names: "**His name isn't Evan, silly TikTok**" and "**His name isn't Keith, dumb eggy lol**."
			* Ninjamuffin99 has made a Tiktok pleading with people to **stop calling him Keith**, saying "His name, his name isn't Keith, it's not Keith. I'm, I'm sick of seeing everyone calling him Keith." He has also **confirmed his name** on Reddit.
				+ The lyrics "*boil 'lil boyfriend,*" in **Winter Horrorland** refer to Boyfriend by name.
* At the moment, Boyfriend doesn't have an official name. **Ninjamuffin99**, the game's programmer, has been intentionally confusing the community by spouting out random names on his Twitter and TikTok accounts. There has been several attempts to figure out his name (names in bold have been **de-confirmed**)**,** including:
	+ **Keith** (on Twitter, has been confirmed to **absolutely not be his name**).
	+ **Evan** (on TikTok, based on misheard lyrics in the unused track **Monster**).
	+ **Luis** (in a **Twitter post**).
	+ Jack (on TikTok, not de-confirmed so far).
* Boyfriend has the most unused animations in the game.
* Boyfriend's vocaloid-sounding vocals were provided by **Kawai Sprite**, the game's composer.
* Boyfriend makes a cameo appearance in **Sr Pelo's** animation "**Spooky Month - Unwanted Guest**" as a plushie. The "Spooky Month" series is also where the characters **Skid and Pump** originate from.

* A popular headcanon within the FNF community was that **Pico** is Boyfriend's ex. This headcanon gathered so much traction that **Tom Fulp**, the creator of Pico, tweeted jokingly that "**this is official Pico 2 canon**," leading people to believe that it was true. **Ninjamuffin99** has stated that **this was a joke,** but later changed his mind and claimed it was **canon.**
	+ Ninjamuffin99 has **confirmed that Pico and Boyfriend are exes** on **Reddit**, Twitter and **Twitch** several times.
		- This also means that Boyfriend is bisexual.
