After his father died when he was three years old, he was renamed Walter Braden Finney in honor of his father, but continued to be known as "Jack" throughout his life.
В возрасте трёх лет (после смерти отца) получил в честь него другое имя — Уолтер Брейден Финней, но, несмотря на это, на протяжении всей жизни был известен под именем «Джек».
