Considering how Jesse James felt about Rance McGrew's acting and how his work reflected poorly on Jesse James and Co., it's fitting that Rance sounds like a shortened form of "rancid".

That is exactly what came to my mind when first seeing this episode.

Not that I see any significance, but I always thought that Archibald Beechcroft was a funny name....it kind of sounds like a bowling ball rolling down the lane and crashing into the pins.
