Further proof of the "Weber" name:

This is from Lori Marshall, daughter of Garry Marshall who of course created Happy Days:

So here's the news: Potsie Weber was the friend of my mom's in high school. My dad always thought it was a funny name. His name was actually Raymond Weber and they called him "Potsie" as a nickname. When my dad wrote "Happy Days" he wrote many of the characters based on his high school friends, but he chose the name Potsie from one of my mom's high school friends. According to my mom's year book, his name is spelled "Weber." I know some places it might have been printed with two "b's" but I'd go with "Weber." Thanks!

Lori
