Question:

Does Popeye have a real name?

I refer of course, to the cartoon character...... ;-)

Answers: Popeye is his real name

he was based on Frank Fiegel, a local tough guy. He was small and wiry, just like POPEYE! There are many local legends told of his incredible strength, and his ability to fight. On September 7, 1996, Fiegel's formerly unmarked grave was marked with a headstone. The marker is inscripted with the 1929 version of Segar's Popeye character. This version of Popeye most resembles his 'real life' counterpart. Bernard? NO! Popeye is Popeye! yes its..... MR Popeye Yes, he was called Popeye the Sailorman. Yeah, Dave.

Only kidding,

I think that was his name throughout - as everyone addressed him by this name including his GF, Olive. Yes! Its Mr Popeye. Rory Emerald. Not sure what it is but popeye, olive oil, and bluto were all based on three real people from ILLINOIS. Hello! POPEYE, "The Sailor man", that's all I know, I think he was featured in some Newspaper in 1929 for the first time! Have a good evening! Jimmy.
