His first name is variously given as Irving, Irv, or Irve, depending
upon the source.

I have found an NPR audio report which thoroughly discusses the matter
of Lewis's first name. You can listen to it by clicking 'Listen' on
this page:

If this is fully satisfactory as an answer, please let me know.

Pinkfreud is correct. When I met Scoot's wife, she said his first name
was Irv but he detested it. He's a Junior, by the way. His birthday is
August 22, 1950.
