When the first season of "Gilligan's Island" was released on DVD in 2004, it included a short documentary called "Before the Three Hour Tour." That piece featured materials from Sherwood Schwarz's first attempt to put the show together that indicated Gilligan's full name was to be: "Willy Gilligan." Schwarz purposely dropped that from the finished product. So, in the official "Gilligan's Island" universe, we never know.

-1 if I understand your answer correctly. Just because something was part of the "original plan", if it was dropped from the finished product then it isn't a part of that product. I mean, it's a nice piece of trivia, but starting with "No, there is no reference with Gilligan's name, as it was purposely kept unspecified" and then continuing with this answer sounds a lot more sensible. Or just keeping it at "No" and quoting Wikipedia as a source which also backs this up in the first sentence.

This might be improved by a title saying something like "Name was officially dropped." It's easy to read this as saying "Willy" is the answer, rather than just the name that was cut before production.

"Gilligan Whitehead" might be his name, according to another's of Sherwood Schwartz's TV shows.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilligan_(Gilligan%27s_Island)#Name
At the end of A Very Brady Sequel, a movie based on The Brady Bunch characters also created by Sherwood Schwartz, Carol Brady reveals that her first husband was a professor lost on a boat. Dr. Whitehead, played by John Hillerman, says, "and my son Gilligan was first mate on that boat."
