What is April Ludgate's middle name in Parks and Recreation?

April Ludgate’s middle name in Parks and Recreation is Roberta.

Her full name is April Roberta Ludgate, and after marrying Andy Dwyer she becomes April Roberta Ludgate-Dwyer. The middle name is an official character detail, although the show usually relies on her first and last names, so casual viewers may never hear it emphasized.

April is played by Aubrey Plaza and begins the series as an apathetic college intern in Pawnee’s Parks and Recreation Department. Her deadpan delivery, elaborate pranks, and apparent indifference make her a sharp contrast to Leslie Knope’s energetic civic enthusiasm. Over time, April develops into a capable employee and takes on roles including Ron Swanson’s assistant and deputy director of Animal Control.

A frequent source of confusion is April’s many aliases and joke identities, including Janet Snakehole and April Karate. Those names are fictional disguises or running gags, not alternatives to her middle name. “Roberta” is also distinct from Andy’s playful nicknames and from April’s married surname, which she legally adopts later in the series.
