I'm just wondering, does ALF stand for anything? Or is it just Alf's name? 'Cause usually when letters are capitalized, they're an abbrevation...otherwise, it should have just been 'Alf' rather than 'ALF.'

--got me? lol.

It stands for Alien Life Form I think......

Yeah, thats right, When he first came, Willie named him ALF (Alien Life Form) but, his real name is Gordon Shumway.
