An audience member came up with Mulva's real name in The Junior Mint
"The Junior Mint" (Season 4, Episode 20) has the titular candy at the center of its story, and it's one of the more intertwined "Seinfeld" episodes (https://www.looper.com/896612/seinfelds-10-best-and-10-worst-episodes/) there is. Jerry's (Jerry Seinfeld) subplot is the most detached from the main story, which revolves around him dating a woman whose name he doesn't know. Naturally, George is no help in the quest to determine the mystery woman's name, but she does reveal at one point that it rhymes with a part of the female body. George suggests Mulva, Aretha, Bovary, Celeste, and Hest as possible names for Jerry's girlfriend, all of which are incorrect.
Once Mulva (which the character is lovingly known by the "Seinfeld" fandom (https://www.reddit.com/r/seinfeld/comments/t04o91/mulva/) as) finds out Jerry has no idea what her name is, she bolts out of his apartment in justified anger. Just a few moments after she leaves, Jerry has an epiphany and realizes what her name is. He shouts "Dolores!" out of his apartment window — but it's too late to keep her around. It turns out this last-minute yell from Jerry wasn't in the original script. "Seinfeld" writer Andy Robin chatted with HuffPost Entertainment (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/behind-the-scenes-seinfeld-stories_n_7157680) and explained how the now-infamous moment came to be.
Robin revealed that Jerry's girlfriend's name was never going to be revealed, with him and the audience still in the dark at the episode's conclusion. But at some point during filming, an audience member yelled out "Dolores," which got tons of support from the crowd. "When the audience member shouted it out, and the audience laughed, it was like this is a great exclamation to put on the end," Robin revealed. Kudos to that astute and clever audience member who put the writers to shame that day.
