It's been suggested before by some peoples that 'Atton' is derivative from the Mandalorian atin (pronounced the same, I think), meaning 'stubborn.' Which would fit. Jaq is derivative of Jack which apparently is a pet name of John meaning "Yahweh is gracious." Fits less, really.

Victor is easy - Ultron probably picked out that name for the obvious connotations of, er, victory.

Teddy was named after his grandfather. Theodore means 'gift of god' which ... probably doesn't fit?

Seamus is just an Irish form of James. Probably relating to the apostle, so maybe indicative of a fairly religious upbringing?

Amatsu-Mikaboshi means 'August Star of Heaven.' So it relates to his nature as a deity, his nature as the god of stars, and has vague relation to the supposed symbol of Queen Hitoke's cult for him, a red sun. Probably just coincidence, but you also get a relation to the Standard Evil Figure in Christian mythology with the reference to bright stars, what with the Morningstar stuff for Lucifer.
