Meanings of Jeff Douglas' & Noel Zachary's Names

[Professor Z's Girl]

[glow=blue,9,999]I looked up the meanings of Jeff's & his character's names.

Jeffrey means: Gift of Peace/Origin: English
Douglas means: Flowing from the dark river/Origin: Celtic/Gaelic

Noel means: Born on Christmas Day/Origin: All Nationalities
Zachary means: Remembrance of the Lord/Origin: Hebrew

I think that Professor Zachary might have been born on the 25th of December since his first name means Born on Christmas Day & he did say his B-Day was on the 25th. What do you think?[/glow]

Good point. It's probably an in joke with the writers and art department. They made his name Noel, probably after they made the webisode where they said his birthday was the 25th. or maybe they came up with the birthday, then the name, and then the webisode. who knows.

Man you are so deep, nice research... I personally would just take his name to me hot prof with the blue eyes <-- I'm kidding, I'm deeper than that! He has good hair too ;D

[glow=blue,9,999]He has blue eyes. He said so himself in the woof thread. If you want more proof watch the "Wormhole" webisode. He gets up really close to the camera & you can see them.[/glow]

I've always thougt it possible the Z got the name because his mom was a Noel Coward fan.


I'm also been mulling over the possible that in high school, friends called him either Zach or Chris (short for Chrismas).

in some episodes, like Genome, Jeff/Z's eyes are kinda green.

and some days mine are kinda blue. most eyes have a bit of daily variation, its just easier to notice in light colored eyes.

After the countless hours of shooting episodes over about two seasons, I would have atleast thought once, what is the first name of my character?
Punished by the art department?

Hi. I'm new here and decided to post. I agree with you Professor Z's Girl. That would be weird though, since I was born on 12/25/88.

2 possiblities

1. eyes change color once in a while naturaly like my eyes change from blue to green, bluegreen, hazel, or yellow.

2. Wearing different kind of color contacts like a pair of contacts for blue, red, yellow, etc...

Don't mean to sound clueless but where exactly did they tell us his first name was Noel?

[MirrorCard]

We were told by Jeff Douglas. It is on one of the documents hanging on the wall in Professor Z's office. It was never mentioned in the show.

Thats good research and good watching the webisodes i would of never thought of that good job
