Dirk is a kind of sword.
Something that would fit in bladekind. Is this Fridge Logic or what?
Nitpicking here, but it's actually a kind of dagger. But yeah could be deliberate.
The others aren't all so apt, though, which makes me question whether it's a theme. A quick investigation via some probably-not-entirely-accurate websites shows me that
Roxy is a diminutive of Roxana, meaning 'bright', or 'dawn'.
Jane is a feminine form of
John (which kinds makes sense) and both mean 'God is gracious', and
Jake is either a form of Jack or Jacob, which means it
could mean "holder of the heel" or "supplanter".
Jade and
Rose are both obvious, and
Dave got luckiest, I feel. His obviously from David, and means
beloved... I wonder if Dirk knew that.
