I couldn't find out how they were compiled. If it were simply from someone listening to the show, taking shorthand or something, they could make mistakes in writing down the words spoken by the actors.

I'm getting a little confused, What is Wash's name becuase I was looking at a site on Serenity and it posted the actors names with their charater names and it read Jerry Lee "Wash" Warren. I'm just wondering is Wash's name Jerry Lee Warren?

I did a search on the web site that has the scripts for Firefly you are right Sarahect the reference to Wash's name occurs in that episode thanks that shortened my search. The quote is as follows:

"WASH
It's not pretty, but we can steer
enough to turn the hell around.
MAL
Nice work, Jerry Lee."

I hope that helps a little

Apparently George Takei joked that Sulu's first name was Walter, which apparently grew out of a joke about Walter Koenig and he being confused. For a while, some people thought that it WAS actually Walter, then, somehow, it became Hikaru Walter Sulu in some references.

A sort-of-similar thing occurs in the Sailor Moon canon:

In Japan's Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury's real name is Ami Mizuno. When the show was translated, she officially (in production notes) became Amy Anderson, but the Anderson surname was never invoked onscreen (the "Mizuno" name was from the original manga, IIRC, where all the senshi had full names).

In both shows, Ami/Amy is half-American (on her [absent] father's side). Thus, the fandom just decided that Anderson is dad's name, now hyphenated. Thus, some references to the original show now identify her retroactively as Ami Mizuno-Anderson.
