While I am a Blues brothers fan, that's not how the names came about. I was stumped for a name on the 77, and my buddy Mike suggested Elwood. It seemed fitting with the woodgrain so it stuck (pun intended).
We considered several options for Jake, but my brother in law suggested Jake. It took some time, but Jake was voted in by the family.
