Scrubs The Janitor Name Game

snoznoodle posted on Nov 13, 2007 at 06:49AM
I think it'll be a lot of fun to guess his name. We all know what JD THINKS it is, which is Jan Itor. Hmm... not JD's most creative moment I think.

Just some background information, the creators don't actually know what his name is and they've reasoned that since he was in the Fugitive it could be Neil Flynn, the actors actual name. But where's the fun in that?

So here's the deal:
- Make a guess of what you think it is.
- Explain why if you can be bothered (lol)

I might just give props for creative names.

Well here's mine:
John Heater.

Because it still sounds like 'Janitor' but it's a normal name and I think considering just how weird the Janitor is, it'd be a lot of fun for it to be something so simple and normal.

Well in "My Conventional Wisdom" the Janitor tells a coffee clerk the sory on how he got his name, and the kid saysm "You don't look asian" so I'm thinking it may be something like James It-o

I thought the Jan Itor came from when he pretended to be a doctor and said he was "Dr. Jan Itor" in one of the episodes. I didn't think J.D. made it up. As far as his name, I don't know but I heard we are going to find out on the last episode.

We don't know. It could be Jan Itor but this is more for the fun of it. Don't worry about sticking to storylines. This game is about making up a name that's suits him just for the fun of it.

In one episode someone calls him Tom, a guy that didn't say anything else... maybe thats his name.
over a year ago drcoxrox said…
i really don't care because hes mean and bothers people for no reason all the time and i dont like him
over a year ago Miss_Sigma said…
His name is JD. which is probably why he hates the other JD. Everyone knows him, and so the poor Janitor is ignored!

it could be man, 2 go with his girlfriend, lady.

I reckon it's 'Juanita' because it sounds like 'janitor'. It is also the name JD pretended was Carla's middle name in S6E1 and we already know the janitor is foreign from when he is standing in the hospital's coffee shop and the guy who works there says, 'you don't look Asian (or was it foreign... can't remember.)/
