* MeaningfulRename: “Donnie” is “Form Of Donn”; Irish king of the underworld in mythology, who angered Eriu in life and was drowned, and people with the name have “a deep inner desire for love and companionship, and want to work with others to achieve peace and harmony.” “Dupre” is French for “from the meadow”. So Jimmy wanted a fresh start, to be in control after being so abused and to have friends.
