I never knew what the J. stood for. James J.... Evans Junior. Was it ever said what the J. stood for? I know it's not James Junior. or is it?

I'm pretty sure they got "J.J." from James being his first name and the fact that he's a Jr. I don't think his middle name was ever mentioned, if he even had one.

Obviously, somewhere along the line the nickname "J.J." came about from someone getting tired of having to seperate the two James'. We have James Evans (John Amos) and James Evans Jr. (Jimmie Walker). How are you going to seperate them? You give one of them a nickname thus, James Jr. becomes J.J. This is really not an issue of middle names at all. J.J.'s middle name was never revealed. |
