What's in a Name?[edit]

For twenty-one years, Mrs. McCormick was the official name for Kenny's mom, who remained unidentified in the show or even in scripts. Early fansites sometimes called her 'Peggy', while 'Susan' later became a popular fanon nickname.

Since around the show's ninth season, fans dubbed her consistently Carol McCormick; the name Carol was previously applied to Sharon Marsh, Sheila Broflovski and Linda Stotch before their final names were decided. The only potential canon connection to this character is a highly ambiguous statement in "Cripple Fight", in which Randy Marsh, Stuart, and Mr. Grazier discuss their wives and one of their wives, a 'Carol' is said to manage a girl scout troop.

In South Park: The Fractured But Whole, during the night mission to confront Professor Chaos, her name is finally revealed in canon, as she argues with her husband, who angrily proclaims "Give me back the fucking pipe, Carol!"
