This character's name has been a source of irritation for many fans of Stargate SG-1. Originally, the character was simply "Technician" or "Sergeant". In one episode General Hammond addresses the character as "Airman". Many fans misunderstood the dialogue and assumed Hammond addressed him by the name of "Harriman". At some point, some of the writers gave him the name "Norman Davis". Eventually the character gained a name tag on his uniform that clearly said "Davis". In the episode "2010", he is addressed by Jack O'Neill as "Walter". Thereafter his name was assumed by most fans to be named "Walter Davis". In the eighth season of "Stargate SG-1", the character is addressed as "Sergeant Harriman". This final name change was due to the fact that there is a real person named Walter Davis in the USAF.
