Discussion King really put thought into naming his pups

Olive: It's neither a chess nor card themed name. I headcanon that an olive branch symbolizes peace. King is at peace with Bailey instead of his human life.

Ace: In a deck of cards, ace has the highest value than king in most card games. King put his daughter first and naming her Ace means he takes care of her before him.

Rook: On the outside, it's just a chess themed naming. Inside, think of Castling. The rook protects the king. King thought about it since if Rook grows up, he'll be protecting his father. Other than that, it gives Rook the opportunity into the open field. King wanted Rook to protect him but also wanted him to explore in life. Thus the Castling method is both protection and activation.

Yes.

But I think Bailey helped name them too
