What name appears on Fogell's fake ID in the 2007 movie "Superbad"?

The story behind the answer

What name appears on Fogell’s fake ID in the 2007 movie “Superbad”? The answer is McLovin.

Fogell, played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse, obtains a fake Hawaiian driver’s license bearing the single name “McLovin.” His friends Seth and Evan immediately mock the unusual choice, especially because the identity does not include a conventional first and last name.

The fake identity becomes central to the film’s plot. Fogell uses it while attempting to buy alcohol for a party, but a robbery interrupts the transaction. The incident brings him into contact with Officers Slater and Michaels, who mistakenly treat him as a mysterious adult named McLovin.

A common mix-up is assuming McLovin is Fogell’s real name. Fogell is the character’s actual name; McLovin is the name printed on the fake ID. The character and the name became among the film’s most recognizable cultural references after Superbad’s 2007 release.
