An early [press release](http://www.macgyveronline.com/pages/faq.html#q2) revealed [**MacGyver**](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088559/)'s *first name* to be ***Stacey***, but when the show aired it was never uttered.

Not until the *last season* episode [**"Good Knight MacGyver"**](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0638715/) do we finally learn that MacGyver's *first name* is actually ***Angus***.

Why did the creator/producers choose to make a mystery out of MacGyver's first name?
