   On Get Smart, we not only never learned 99's name, we never learned   
   her mother's name, either.  She's just "99's Mother".  It's quite   
   possible that no name for Number One would ever have been given even   
   if the series had run for years.  Besides 99, there was also Number   
   Six and Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name, at about the same time.   
   Namelessness was kitschy then.
