As far as I remember, no one has mentioned what the J stands for in Fry's name. My guess is that is stands for "Jay", like Homer's middle name. Anyone care to speculate? FYI, Futurama comic #4 just came out.. I have yet to read it, but I picked it up and there is some alien language #1 on the cover too..

The J is a tribute to Jay Ward, creator of Bullwinkle and Rocky.

And it's hardly speculation given that Matt said just that in an early article about the show.

In article ,

I'm pretty sure they were named after Bullwinkle J. Moose and Rocket J. Squirrel (who never had real names there, either)...

They both got their initials for Jay Ward.

In the episode where Homer goes back to the commune his mother lived on, he found out that his middle name is 'Jay'.

BJ Hunnicutt finally revealed that his name is BJ. He was named after his parents, Bea and Jay Hunnicutt.
