Re: Opening Name origins
You might find some answers in "A Compilation of the Barred Openings" by Dennis C. Cayton. I found it online here: http://www.usacheckers.com/Cayton's%20Compilation.doc
I noticed that it has some information on the origin of "the skunk" name, but I didn't check to see if it has any naming info on the openings you listed.
