Yes, the minister refers to him as Todd Blake while the closing credits list him as Todd Jennings - but you see, when the eulogy was being written, for reasons known only to him, Todd insisted that he be referred to by middle name as well. After all, Blake can be both a surname and a first and/or middle name. Problem solved! Yup, that's the explanation exactly! His full name is Todd Blake Jennings.
We kinda addressed that in the HODS parody skit, via a fake article in a real magazine, Film Comment. "The ambiguity of the idea of the character of Todd contributes to the film's dreamlike quality." . It got the expected laugh in the skit. And it gave me a private laugh later that weekend when i overheard some guy claiming that he bought the magazine in the dealer's room.
