Mr bean honnan kapta a nevét?

"His first name (he names himself "Bean" to others) and profession, if any, are never mentioned."

"The name of the character was not decided after the first programme had been produced, with a number of other vegetable-influenced names, such as "Mr. Cauliflower", being explored."

A sorozatban is váltogatták a neveit, látszólag nincs különösebb forrása a névnek. Jól hangzott így ezt használta (bean - bab).
