Just out of curiosity (since we've already covered Lois' lack of a middle name and Perry and Clark's shared middle name - Jerome), does anyone remember if Jimmy's middle name is ever mentioned? Ooooh. What's that episode where he and Cat check their family tree?  I just watched it? (I wish I could say this narrowed down my titles but it hasn't  ) Was it the Rival? Was it mentioned there? Well, anyway, if anyone knows Jimmy's full name, that would be helpful. Thanks!

Bartholomew - It's mentioned when he is arrested in Lucky Leon.

He also says it in Never On Sunday when he's being hypnotized. Then Perry leans over and mouths it to Lois and Clark like he's never heard it before. Perry forgets in his old age, apparently. lol

I wish I would have seen this earlier. It's especially easy for me to remember Jimmy's middle name since my son's name is James. I got permission from my son to share a photo from a few years back: James Bartholomew Olsen: ![[Linked Image]](http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100805105451/superman/images/d/d8/Jimmyolsen-rubyspears.jpg) James Bartholomew (Not Olsen): [img] https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-...AAAAAAABQ/CnNv-u--JOQ/s251-c/April222012[/img] Bob

Bobbart! He's adorable and would make a great Jimmy Olsen. Does anyone remember if S1 Jimmy mentions his middle name at any time? Maybe someone who's watched "Foundling" recently? <<batting eyelashes>> If not,  !

Bobbart - that's just awesome!  How adorable! Virginia - I don't *think* his middle name is ever mentioned in Season One. I'm *almost* positive we don't hear it used until "Lucky Leon."

Virginia, the only two mentions of the name "Bartholomew" occur in Lucky Leon and Never on Sunday.
Bob, I agree with Virginia -- both about him being cute and about him making a great Jimmy Olsen.

I will pass the complements along to my son. (And make sure his wife - he's a bit older now - hears them.  ) I was not following any Superman when my son was born and - since I was there - I can say with certainty that Superman's Jimmy Olsen had nothing to do with his name. Ever since I saw that picture for the first time - with the boyish smile and the red hair - I've thought that he looked like Jimmy Olsen made flesh. Bob

Okay, I've changed the topic of this thread from "Jimmy's Middle Name" to "All Things Jimmy" because I have another non-name related question, and why start another thread? :p
Does anyone remember whether or not Jimmy's mom lives in Vegas is canon or Fanon. I know I've read it some fanfic stories, but it always felt right. Does Jimmy mention this about his mom when he talks about buying her a birthday gift in "Madame Ex" (Besides her being overweight and having allergies)?

Virginia - It's canon! It took me some doing, but I figured it *had* to be mentioned in a Christmas episode. And it was! Now, to be fair it doesn't say that she lives there. Just that she wants to see him there. Home Is Where The Hurt Is: FADE IN:
1 INT. DAILY PLANET - WITH PERRY - TRACKING - DAY #1 1
PERRY moves down the steps from vending machines, sipping
coffee, reading a letter with a smile. All around the
bullpen, Staffers are hanging garlands and Christmas
decorations. He runs into JIMMY, loaded with files.
PERRY
(re letter)
How about that? My son wants me to
go skiing in Vermont with him for
the holidays. What're _you_ doin'
for Christmas?
JIMMY
My mom mentioned meeting her in
Vegas.
PERRY
(as they pass Lois' desk)
That's what the holidays are about,
bein' with family.
LOIS
(under her breath)
Long as it's not my family.

Thanks, DC, for all your extra work hunting that down for me. You know, I don't think the shrink wrap is off my S4 DVDs yet. I really should get around to looking at those one of these days.

Joy,
Lynn Actually it pre-dates Lois and Clark - Bartholemew is given as his middle name in the Superman sourcebook for the DC Heroes role playing game in 1987, and I suspect was comics canon much earlier.
