Moms lil' Daisy Posted May 15, 2005 Report Posted May 15, 2005 What does the K stand for? Does anyone know, or did they ever tell us? Any ideas? I know Bo' middle name was Jackson. Just wonderin. Just give a shout back y'all. Quote
Moms lil' Daisy Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Posted May 16, 2005 Me too but then i heard somewheres else it was Keith. Thanx tho anyone else gotta guess or know for sure? Quote
Moms lil' Daisy Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Posted May 16, 2005 Hey thanks Kitty how do you know tho? I looked on this site in the Characters page and it didn't say. i looked at a few other sites an found the same thing. Thanks tho i apretiate it a bunch. Quote
DixieDavenport Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 I have had no confirmation of this either but I agree that Lucas Keith Duke fits!!! I have thought Keith worked for years now. I thought surely they'd tell somewhere on Dukes but IF they did I haven't heard it!! Only in High Octane did they say Lucas K. Duke, Boreguard Duke and Jesse L Duke (Again I figure L. stands for Lee!!!)Dixie 'Lee" Davenport Quote
Garrett Duke Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 I don't think they ever said what K stood for or the L for Jesse either. It is pretty much up to you what you think sounds best...I guess. I've always used Kenneth for my stories for Luke. But Keith seems to fit too...it's up to one's opinion is my guess...~Garrett Duke~ Quote
bethie88 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 If I ain't mistaken, Luke's "Keith" and Bo's "Jackson" came from Dixie and me... I know I made up Jackson... Quote
Jamanda Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 A lot of middle names have been made up by our very talented variety of fanfiction writers on this site. Kenneth and Keith seem to be popular for Luke (we use Kenneth). As far as any mention on the show, we haven't found any besides the initials used in "High Octane" Quote
Daisy_Duke_Girl Posted September 3, 2005 Report Posted September 3, 2005 Keith sounds good to me!!!! Quote
HotHillbilly Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 What was Daisy's middle name?? Wasn't it like Daisy May or something like that?? Quote
iloveluke6 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Yeah I THINK it was Daisy May : Quote
bethie88 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 *nods* Twas Daisy Mae... or May... whichever... Quote
HotHillbilly Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Thanks, that's what I thought. Did Cooter ever have a middle name?? I don't recal anyone mentionin' one... Quote
iloveluke6 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Heck what was Cooter's first name? I hope it wasn't cooter.... Quote
Mrs. Luke Duke Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 I used Lukas Kenneth for my story. The 'K' could also stand for Kyle, Keith, Karl, Kevin, Kendall, Kent, etc. Quote
bethie88 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Kent... Wouldn't that be ironic with John playing Jonathan Kent? Quote
just_me Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Heck what was Cooter's first name? I hope it wasn't cooterThat's a good one, never thought about it though Quote

EnosIsMyHero Posted April 26, 2020 Report Posted April 26, 2020 I know it's been forever since someone commented here. Assuming his middle name hasn't been found within the canon of the show since 2005, I'm going to put out another idea. Because of how the old-timey naming system works in the south, especially in Appalachia, I'm going to add 'Kemper' to the list of possibles. James Lawson Kemper was the Confederacy's youngest brigade commander, making brigadier general at the age of 39. He was wounded at Gettysburg, but survived to become an important political figure in Virginia. He was known for his honesty and attention to duty. Naming boys after valorous Confederate generals was once a popular practice, and if the name didn't sound like a first name, it was given as a middle name. Lukas Kemper Duke doesn't have a wonderful ring to it, but it would be geographically consistent. Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote
HossC Posted April 26, 2020 Report Posted April 26, 2020 If you're looking for possible names from Confederate generals, how about Kirby after (Edmund) Kirby Smith? EnosIsMyHero 1 Quote

One of my favorite things to see here on the HN is when someone digs up old threads and revives them. I'm going to have to start doing that now that I have more time. EnosIsMyHero 1 Quote

Although Uncle Jesse's middle name is never given (to my knowledge), one of the cousins in Dukes precursor 'Moonrunners' is called Bobby Lee Hagg. The dialogue says he was named after General Robert E. Lee, so Lee could easily be another name that Gy Waldron recycled when he created Dukes (like Cooter, Roscoe and Uncle Jesse).
