As some of you may know already, I actually considered the name Jack for Jay, but decided against it. This was at least in part due to there already being a female character in the Mass Effect franchise named Jack, and that felt like a toe I didn't want to step on.

One might also recall that she also goes by Jill (commentary for comic referenced mentions the "Jack" thing), so... Jack, Jill, and Jay are all somehow applicable to this character now.

I'm sure no one anywhere will find that confusing.
