As Hussie himself points out, Jake's new family name gives him the same initials as his son John Egbert. Unlike the Beta Kids, and like the rest of the Alpha Kids, Jake's name is purely of Andrew Hussie's creation: which is to say his placronym was already filled out on his thirteenth birthday, and you would have just given him some “ vulgar, childish moniker ” like “ Barfbreath Turdsmirk ” anyway.

Jake's connection to the Angel of Double Death lends toward a connection with archaeology and tombs: this is a trait he shares with Aradia Megido, who also serves an important part in English's scheme.
