Onomatology

Smith: An English surname derived from the trade name smith. "Smith" happens to be the most common surname in the United States. This is quite ironic, seeing as these Smiths are anything but "common".
Pollination Tech#9 Smith: A reference to his previous occupation, as he comes from a long line of alien pollination technicians.
Jenny Smith: Short for Jennifer, means "white" or "smooth".
Johnny Smith: A diminutive of John, meaning God has favoured/God is merciful.
Jill Smith: Short for Gillian, which is the English form of Julia, which is the feminine version of Julian which means downy beard.
