Eddie was sort of a re-home, and he came with the name of Teddie -- TJ for short. Since TJ is my wife's ex's name, we wanted something that sounded like "Teddie" and chose "Eddie." It's been a good fit.
Jillie was named after a beloved Yorkie I owned who died named Jack. I was looking at a tribute to him, so I named her Jill. I've never regretted it and think of Jack all the time because of her name.
Jack was a tiny rescue I got when he was 10 and frail. His name was Cuddles. Sorry, no way a guy could own a tiny little dog named Cuddles, so I named him the machoest thing I could think of at the time -- Jack, for Jack Daniels. He more than lived up to the name. In fact, he was such a strong Alaska that I later changed his name to Yukon Jack
