In the old TV show "Leave It To Beaver," Theodore Cleaver got the nickname "Beaver" because his real name was Theodore, which sounds like "Theodore Beaver." His older brother, Wally, initially called him "Beaver" as a mispronunciation of his real name. The nickname stuck and became his commonly used name throughout the show.

What is the dogs name on leave it to beaver?

The Cleavers never really had a "continuing" pet on the six seasons of Leave it to Beaver, rather they only had them on certain episodes. In one of the first episodes broadcast in season one (1957) the boys had a puppy called Captain Jack, named after an alligator they ordered from a comic book, which they had to give up once it got too big. Feeling sorry for the children, Ward and June surprised them at the end of the episode with the puppy. The puppy was never seen again. They also had a little dog named Poncho, which only appeared in the episode "Beaver and Poncho." Eddie Haskell had a dog named "Wolf" which appeared in a couple of episodes early on, but, when it wasn't needed, it was never heard from again. A good question for this website might be "Whatever HAPPENED to all the pets from Leave it to Beaver?" (Answer: They all disappeared into that TV void along with Minerva, the Cleaver's maid, and Chuck Cunningham from Happy Days...)
