Nov 20, 2013 at 4:03 comment added Mohammad Golshani Thanks a lot for you historical information. I think the theorem is just a simple observation, and I arrived to it, not by thinking on the above problem, but on "Foreman's maximality principle" which says "any non-trivial forcing notion either adds a real or collapses some cardinals". Note that a trivial consequence of this principle is that any non-trivial c.c.c. forcing adds a real.
Nov 19, 2013 at 18:39 comment added Andreas Blass I believe the theorem in your question was proved by Jim Baumgartner. I know that it was proved by me, quite some time ago, but then I was told that Jim had proved it considerably earlier yet.

Nov 3, 2013 at 11:26 comment added Haim Check also the paper "Ccc forcing and splitting reals" by Velickovic, according to which every Suslin ccc forcing adds a Cohen real or is a Maharam algebra. It's also worth mentioning that the question whether every Maharam algebra is a measure algebra was answered negatively by Talagrand.
Nov 3, 2013 at 11:22 comment added Haim The question whether every Suslin ccc forcing notion adding a real must add a Cohen real or add a random real is problem 4.7 in Shelah's "On what I do not understand": shelah.logic.at/files/666.pdf
Nov 3, 2013 at 7:47 comment added Mohammad Golshani One can show that Mathias forcing relative to an ultrafilter U adds Cohen reals exactly when U is not selective.
Nov 3, 2013 at 7:20 comment added Monroe Eskew What about "Prikry reals"? Fix an ultrafilter U on $\omega$, and let $(s,A) \in \mathbb{P}$ when $s$ is finite, $A \in U$, etc., same as Prikry forcing. This is obviously c.c.c., so do you know if it is consistent that Prikry real forcing adds a Cohen real or Random real?
