Looks like the consensus is Mary Ann.

Now the next question to be answered is what was Mrs Howell's first name?

"Lovee" doesn't count as that was Mr. Howell's pet name for her....

Drat - got to say something on topic so Chris doesn't smack me and lock the thread...

Do you think the Skipper had Coast Guard approved rations stored properly on the Minnow in case of emergency?
And frankly I don't remember seeing anyone but Gilligan wearing a life vest!

[color:"blue"] Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.
The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star
The professor and Mary Ann,
Here on "Gilligan's Isle".

So this is the tale of the castaways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.
The first mate and the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In the tropic island nest.
No phone, no lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
As primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my friends,
You're sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castaways,
Here on "Gilligan's Isle."[/color]

I think it is past my bed-time....
