No, but you're on the right track in this sense: the thing that qualifies Jo to be on this list is one of the best-known, longest-standing facts about Ultra Boy. There's nothing subtle or tricky about this question; it's very straightforward and simple. (Edited for clarity.)

Kent S. is correct. All three have been Phantom Girl's boyfriends: Ultra Boy, obviously; Jarel, as shown in that Dave Gibbons-drawn backup story early in the threeboot; Rax as mentioned in passing in the Themyscira issue of LSH31C.
Take it away!

All are Golden-Age comics characters who share their names with real people? I remember the very first Superman story had a character named Jack Kennedy in it. Ted Knight, of course is both Starman and Ted Baxter. I'm not sure about Wes.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

close enough... who shared names with people who would later become famous.
The real Wesley Dodd was a 90s serial killer.

That's not it. It has to do with this particular time of year and an interest of mine that is not comics (or penguins ).

They all have Christmas carols named after them? I know there's a Coventry Carol.

All right! I was afraid I was getting too obscure. There is indeed a Wexford Carol , a Coventry Carol (actually a carol for the Feast of the Holy Innocents on 28 December) and a Sussex Carol . Your turn, Matthew.

Yup.
George Lucas was the Executive producer of the Howard the Duck movie. Jeffrey Jones played the villian in the movie. And of course Steve Gerber created Howard.
