See:
Flandry's scout boat is called Giacobini-Zinner because the boat is Comet class and Giacobini-Zinner is a comet.
Flandry nicknames his boat "Jake" for obvious reasons. I never wondered about that boat's name before but the recent encounter with the Comet class boats, Encke and Ikeya-Seki, gave me reason to check. Every background detail in the Technic History is fully consistent.
