Because Duke of Earle was his favorite song growing up.

What's the deal with Lady Jaye? And why is it Jaye and not just J? What is a Jaye anyways?

Jerry Seinfeld would break up with Lady Jaye because she never combs her hair...

I'm pretty sure the name is referring to John Wayne - "The Duke" was his nickname, and he did play some iconic Duke-like characters (not to mention a Green Beret!).

Lady Jaye... no idea. Never thought about it before, but you're right, it is kind of odd when you think of it.

Lady Jaye's name comes from a little bluejay tattoo she has somewhere on her body, hidden from us. Hmmm, that would be nice if it were true...

I think your right on the money. I saw in camping catalog something like 15 years ago a picture for something called a lady jay, that is called that because of its shape. I don't think they call them lady jays anymore, they a have more PC name for them now. I found a link at Cabela's if anyone wants to see it. If this indeed what Lady Jaye is named after it isn't all that good.

Your assumption about Duke's nickname sounds like the most reasonable guess.

The John Wayne references are correct, in the current GI Joe America's Elite arc Issue 28, while Duke's mom was on her deathbed, she noted how strong he was, like his dad, a "regular john wayne, you're my little duke."
