What Is the Uncle’s Name in Christmas Vacation?

By Michael Ferguson

If you’re a fan of the classic Christmas movie, “Christmas Vacation,” you might be wondering about the identity of a character that’s often mentioned but never seen – Uncle Eddie’s full name.

For those who may not remember, Uncle Eddie is the quirky and lovable character played by Randy Quaid. He’s known for his unique wardrobe choices, his RV named “The Shitter,” and his pet Rottweiler named Snots. But despite being a key player in the film, we never actually learn what his full name is.

So, what is Uncle Eddie’s name? Well, unfortunately, we don’t get a clear answer in the movie. However, there are a few clues that can help us make an educated guess.

Firstly, we know that Uncle Eddie is actually Clark Griswold’s wife Ellen’s brother. This means that he likely shares her last name of Griswold. We also know that he has a wife named Catherine and at least two children – Ruby Sue and Rocky.

Based on these clues, some fans have theorized that Uncle Eddie’s full name could be Edward Griswold or Edward Johnson (if Catherine took her maiden name). However, without any official confirmation from the filmmakers or actors involved in the movie, we can only speculate.

Despite this lack of concrete information about Uncle Eddie’s full name, he remains a beloved character in “Christmas Vacation” and an integral part of the Griswold family’s holiday shenanigans.

So while we may never know for sure what to call him other than “Uncle Eddie,” we can still enjoy his hilarious antics and memorable quotes like “Shitter was full!”

In conclusion, while Uncle Eddie’s full name remains unknown to us as viewers of Christmas Vacation it doesn’t take away from our enjoyment of this classic holiday film.
