I'll Be Home for Christmas Dog Names

Introduction

Jake Wilkerson is a happy college kid living across the country and attending school in California while his family lives back East. Since beginning school, Jake has not been home for the summer, a holiday, or even just a simple visit. Much of this has to do with Jake's dad. You see, Jake's mom passed away while he was in high school, and his dad remarried. Although Jake doesn't dislike his stepmom, Jake is rather uncomfortable at home. However, the promise of his dad's sports car tempts Jake to finally come home for Christmas. Jake will encounter many obstacles along the way, but he learns a valuable lesson as he does.

Jake

Jake is the lead character in the 1998 film, I'll Be Home for Christmas. This film is rather entertaining for all ages, and, at the end, the main character learns a valuable lesson. Jake Wilkerson has truly not allowed himself to grieve the loss of his mother, and, in order to deal with his father's second marriage, he simply runs away. Although Jake's initial motivation for coming home is the promise of his father's Porsche, Jake eventually realizes that he needs to repair his relationship with his father and accept his father's new wife. He also learns that his friendships are more important than material things. What better time to make those relationship repairs than during the Christmas season?

Jake is another highly popular dog name. Songs have been written about dogs with this name! An old country song admonishes the singer's loved ones to take care of his dog should he leave this world unexpectedly - "Feed Jake/He's been a good dog/My best friend/Right to the end." The name Jake fits a hunting dog, a small companion "lap" dog, or a show dog.

One interesting dog named Jake is actually a cartoon character. He is a part of the cast of the Adventure Time show. Jake is a magical creature, and he has a pair of human "brothers," Jermaine and Finn. Unfortunately, Jake often uses his powers for evil rather than good. As he grows older and begins to understand his influence on brother Finn, Jake decides to lend his energy to adventures with Finn. Jake eventually becomes a proud father to five - Charlie, Viola, Jake Junior, T.V. and Kim Kil Whan. He lives with his wife, Lady Rainicorn.

Jake is able to stretch his body and change his own size and shape at will. He can turn his hands into the shape of a key. He can shrink when necessary or become gigantic. He is tough, and when he and Finn are out on adventures, Jake is an adept warrior. He is also supernaturally strong, which assists him in fighting battles. Interestingly enough, Jake does not possess many athletic skills, and he is not fond of running or playing outside of his adventures with Jake.

I'll Be Home for Christmas Dog Name Considerations

Although there are no dogs directly associated with the film I'll Be Home for Christmas, Jake does utilize a dog kennel to travel in as he boards a flight in an attempt to make it home on time. The lead character's name - Jake - is quite a popular one for dog parents. Jake is a name that fits a hunting dog, a Labrador Retriever, or even a mixed breed dog. This name connotates trustworthiness and loyalty. Any dog that is dedicated to their master would be fitting to carry the name Jake.

Allie is the female lead character in the film. The name Allie is Arabic in origin, and it means "the greatest." While this does not point to any dog breed in particular, if you believe that your sweet pooch is great, then Allie is the perfect name for your furry friend.

Eddie is the antagonist to Jake. One famous "Eddie" - although not a part of this production - is the Jack Russell Terrier who was often the punchline of jokes on the television show "Frasier." Eddie is rather mischievous; the "Eddie" of this film would steal Allie's heart away from Jake. Any dog that is a bit of a trickster would make a great "Eddie."
