leave it to beaver show

how did theodore cleaver get his nickname beaver. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.235.125.146 (talk) 19:29, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

When Wally was young, he had trouble pronouncing his brother's name. It sounded like beaver, and it stuck.[1] Clarityfiend (talk) 20:19, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I recall a clip from one show where Beaver suggested it was himself who couldn't pronounce it. Lady: "Beaver? I thought your name was Theodore." Beaver: "Oh, I don't use it much. I couldn't pronounce it until last year." Perhaps a script continuity glitch? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:59, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
