I thought Jack was weird to start with. First you've got brother's John and Jason. Ok - people do that stuff. Then John names is son after himself - typical. But then Jason gives his son the name Jack, sounds awfully close to his brother's nickname of Jock (1 letter difference) plus Jack is a nick name for John. But then it also could be a nickname for Jason, I suppose.
Then JR's son is John Ross - got it, but his oldest, unknown son is James and his cousin is Jamie. Ugggggggg.
But then Miss Ellie was a Southworth on South Fork, while we had a Rebecca Wentworth - lol.
I liked Gary named after his late (assumed) uncle.
Anyone know who Bobby was named after? or was he named after anyone?
I would have loved to have seen TNT begin with John Ross and 3 boys of his own: John Ross Ewing IV "Jay," Steven Clayton Ewing (assuming Clayton's first name was Steven, named after his dad and called by his middle name, something very common and then Steven gets called "Dusty" - mostly because I'm not found of the came Clayton for a little boy) and then his youngest Clifford Willard Ewing (not sure if they ever mentioned a middle name for Cliff) "Wills."
Sometimes there were so spot on with names. Sue Ellen, Patricia, Kristian - loved them - then just a bit off, like I would have loved to have seen Kristopher instead of Christopher. Maybe Kristopher Patrick.
