Fans discuss whether Kramer has a known first name, noting the character has never been given one on the show, though the real-life inspiration is Kenny Kramer.

Kramer has no first name that we, the viewing audience, knows of.

I never even knew if Kramer was his first or lastname? I say one of the best episodes was when George looses his glasses, and Elaine gets bitten by the dog. The stupidest was when they are waiting in line to get into the Chineses restaurant and they always get snubbed. Another good one was the 'ARE THEY REAL?" one. It was truly a classic.

It has to be his last name: his mother's name is Babs Kramer and the k-man said that if he ever had a son he would name it Isosceles Kramer.

Duh, did i miss something? Of course, what would it be otherwise. WHo the hell would name their child Kramer? Who originally asked this question? you should either be shot, watch EVERY episode of seinfeld non-stop, or (the worst one) watch every episode of Home Improvement (Seinfeld's arch-nemisis, IMHO)

kenny is the first name of the real life person on which kramer's character is based. the last name is also kramer. he was larry david's neighbor. the source was either newsweek or time magazine. of course this doesn't mean that OUR kramer has the same FIRST name...

Your guess is correct -- this may be the single most-discussed Seinfeld topic. Anyway, the character has never been given a first name. Jerry jokes that the full name is, "Kramer Vs. Kramer". The real-life person on whom the character is based is named Kenny Kramer.
