May 15, 200521 yr 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.
May 16, 200521 yr Author Me too but then i heard somewheres else it was Keith. Thanx tho anyone else gotta guess or know for sure?
May 16, 200521 yr Author 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.
May 16, 200521 yr 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
May 18, 200521 yr 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~
August 23, 200521 yr If I ain't mistaken, Luke's "Keith" and Bo's "Jackson" came from Dixie and me... I know I made up Jackson...
August 24, 200521 yr 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"
October 2, 200520 yr What was Daisy's middle name?? Wasn't it like Daisy May or something like that??
October 2, 200520 yr Thanks, that's what I thought. Did Cooter ever have a middle name?? I don't recal anyone mentionin' one...
October 24, 200520 yr I used Lukas Kenneth for my story. The 'K' could also stand for Kyle, Keith, Karl, Kevin, Kendall, Kent, etc.
October 25, 200520 yr Heck what was Cooter's first name? I hope it wasn't cooterThat's a good one, never thought about it though

April 26, 20206 yr 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.
April 26, 20206 yr If you're looking for possible names from Confederate generals, how about Kirby after (Edmund) Kirby Smith?

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).
