Why did they give him that name?
I understand it's a reference to "Lorenzo's Oil" but I don't think that many people will get the reference. I don't think the film (or treatment) is that popular so the joke wouldn't really make sense to most people.
Unless it IS actually popular? or referring to something else?
How many people actually got that joke?
The idea being that "Lorenzo's Oil" was another movie from the mind of Paul.
And are you kidding? That movie is insanely popular and extremely well known. Movies don't get 94% on rotten tomatoes for no reason.

Even though it was clearly a great play on words, I must admit I had no idea what the reference was. I just found out here so thanks for asking (despite some thinking it's obvious)!
shareI had never heard of that film either, but now I will check it out. Thanks.

A simple throw-away joke ruined by over-analyzing.
