Can anyone tell me what the P. stands for in Alex P. Keaton?

I think it came out in the episode where Steve and Elyse's college friend came to town and they started up their magazine again. I think it was either Precious or some other hippie term.

I've just rewatched that episode and there was no mention of his middle name. In a flashback sequence, Steven says he would name their first child "Freedom Keaton".

Was Alex's middle name ever revealed in any episode and if so which one?

I believe the P stands for Philip. I think I read it in a fan magazine in the 80's.

Hi,

To answer the question: No, what the "P" stood for was never revealed in any episode. Officially, the "P" didn´t stand for anything.

Hello, I believe his middle name was Paul in the Swedish version
