Then, Bob would be playing himself if his last name was McGrath on the show. That's his last name in real life. And speaking of last names, I read that Gordon's actor, Roscoe Orman, took the last name of Robinson for his character as a homage to the original Gordon, Matt Robinson. I would assume if some of the characters weren't given a last name on the show, they'd use their real ones, but never mention them.

Yep! Just the same with Linda Bove, Alan Muroaka, Buffy Sainte Marie, and Ruth Buzzi.

What about Savion. Did he use his last name Glover on the show?

Savion too, though I am not sure if they ever used his last name on the show. I assumed they just used his real last name also.

Oh... You're talking about an episode towards the end of Season 35. The name of the bagpipe player, voiced by Jerry Nelson, is Scottie McKilt.
Hope this helps.
Boy did I get the name wrong. Well, at least I was right about Bob's character and name.

Here's the correct information as seen in "Sesame Street Unpaved:

Maria's full name: Maria Rodriguez (nee Figeuroa)
Luis's full name: Luis Rodriguez
Bob's full name: Bob McGrath
Linda's full name: Linda Bove
David's full name: David
Gordon's full name: Gordon Robinson
Susan's full name: Susan Robinson
Mr. Hooper's full name: Mr. Harold Hooper
Olivia's full name: Olivia (but I'm sure with being Gordon's sister, it would be Olivia Robinson)
Buffy's full name: Buffy St. Marie Wolfchild
Willy's full name: Willy
Mr. MacIntosh's full name: Mr. MacIntosh
Mr. Handford's full name: Mr. Handford
Gian's full name: Gina Jefferson (actually, SSU says just Gina, but her office door on the show says "Gina Jefferson", so...)
Ruthie's full name: Ruthie
Uncle Wally's full name: Uncle Wally
Savion's full name: Savion Glover
Lillian's full name: Mrs. Lillian Edwards
Celina's full name: Celina

So there you go. (I honestly don't remember Willy, Mr. MacIntosh, Uncle Wally, or Lillian:embarrassed: )

Willy the Hot Dog Man's the only one I don't rully remember.

Mr. MacIntosh, the old man wearing normal clothes, a vest and a cap, who wheeled in a long cart with fresh fruits and vegetables.
Lilian, the first Afro-American woman who was in charge of SS Day Care.
Uncle Wally, Bob's Uncle... From the mid-late 80's.

And I keep telling you María's maiden name is misspelled. It should be "F-I-G-U-E-R-O-A". The other way around is just a malapropism.
Malapropism... That's the educational content of this post for the day.

Well, tell that to the writers of Sesame Street Unpaved, because they say Figeuroa.

Yeah... I know Snowthy.
But that's why we've got this great place called MC... To talk about all those little details and help each other out when we don't understand something, or some little factoid needs correcting.

OK... Now where's that guy from T*K*O... Gotta set him straight as to why Ryan can't be traded back to the #001.

These look right. And you would be right to say that Olivia's last name is Robinson, because she is Gordon's sister and was never married. As for Ruthie...if she had a last name I would say it was Buzzi considering Ruth Buzzi is the actress and she is basically playing herself.
Also to add...
Gabriella Rodriguez
Miles Robinson
Alan Muraoka
Carlo Alban
