Most of the Joes have code names that match their specialty (Flash, Grunt) or suit their personality (Chuckles, Footloose). Some have names that would work as nicknames (Duke, Hawk) or just sound "cool" (Jinx, Snake Eyes).
The one code name (at least from the earlier Joes) that I don't get is Grand Slam. I guess they were trying to connect baseball and artillery, but it seems like too much of a stretch compared to the other Joes, especially the early ones. It's not a bad code name (unlike Skidmark) but it just doesn't seem to work that well to me. What code names don't work for you? -c

Lady Jaye's isn't personality, it's not speciality, it's not even a nickname or sounding cool.
So yeah, would have to go with that (and I love Lady Jaye).

Lady Jaye was at one time named Lady Shay after someone Hama knew and Shady Lady - because of her covert ops role. How she ended up as Lady Jaye, I don't know.
Mercer. WTF is that supposed to mean? |

Mercer is short for Mercenary. Should have just called him Merc.
