On the tv show "BattleStar Gallactica", what was Lieutenant Starbuck's first name?

As far I can tell, the producers never gave him a first name. He's
either Lt. Starbuck or Starbuck.

Totally unrelated, but I found that Mr. Spock from Star Trek has a
first name. But no one can pronounce it. =)

He doesn't have one. This is very slightly vaguely proven by:

My name's Andrea Pulaski. Like, what's yours?" 

"Starbuck." 

"Starbuck. Is that your first name or your last name?" 

"What?" 

"Starbuck--is that, like, your first name or your last name?" 

"It's the only name I've got!" 

"Oh." Silence.

At the Hollywood Expo in Plano, TX on 15 July 2001, Dirk Benedict (who
played Starbuck) was asked this question. His answer was that the
character, as written, never had a first name, but Benedict opined
that if Starbuck did have a first name, it would probably be "Studs."
Got a big laugh. :-)

Actually, it was mentioned once or twice during the show.  He does
have a first name.  Just thought no one remembers it.

-PG

And with this he joins Dr. Who, who also doesn't have a first name...
