Was Columbo's first name Frank?
I read somewhere that Columbo's first name was Frank and that they mentioned it in one episode but he is never referred to his first name ever again.

Yeah, I am pretty sure his name was Frank! Not 100 percent positive, but I really think that was his name!

I heard the truth was- the name was never revealed.
Some trivia books say his first name was Philip, but that actually was a piece of wrong info the authors planted to catch people who might copy from the book without permission. More info here: http://www.portablepress.com/blog/20...-a-fake-facts/ |

The viewer was not really supposed to know but with the modern technology I don't see how the writers could ever deny it. https://columbophile.com/2018/03/18/...-really-frank/
