I have this vague notion that on one episode of M*A*S*H, Hawkeye mentions where his name (Benjamin Franklin Pierce) came from. Does anyone remember who he said he was named after?
An obvious guess would be Benjamin Franklin, but there was also a President named Franklin Pierce. If anyone remembers or knows how to find out, please let me know.

If it helps, Hawkeye's father was named Daniel Pierce. Perhaps he was Daniel Webster Pierce.
I remember an episode in which everyone was trying to figure out what the "BJ" in "BJ Honeycutt" stood for and it was an episode-long thing and it finally ended up being that it came from "My mother Bee Honeycutt and my father Jay Honeycutt".
Could that be what you are thinking of?
I remember the episode about BJ's name, but I also thought they once mentioned who Hawkeye was named after too. But, maybe I am just conflating the two.
