When it comes to history of names, the name Jacek (or Jack in eng) comes from the greek mythology - from a god called Hiakintos. The bad thing is, that he's supposed to be one of the first manlubbers mentioned in literature (a close "friend" of Apollo)
NO NO NO!!! I have a wife!!! Don't even think that!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HoagieA story of the origin of the name 'hoagie' is that, during World War I, a shipyard located on Hog Island in the Delaware River south of Philadelphia employed many Italian immigrants as shipbuilders; their wives would pack them large sandwiches packed with various meats and cheeses. An out of work Philadelphian named Al DePalma went to the island to find work, and noticed the workers eating the giant sandwiches. Mr. DePalma observed that the workers looked like "a bunch of hogs", and ended up opening a luncheonette that served the sandwiches; thus the "hoggie" or "hoagie" was born. *Giggles* Hoagie is a submarine sandwich! Damn tasty one at that! *Shuffles away from Conan*
