Significance of names

[Kro92813]

Im starting to think Pellucid had a lot of fun creating the names in her book...Most names described the character in a way either physically or personality. Brainy was a nerdy dweeb. Cully Flower worked in the Kitchen (this one seriously gets me now! haha!). Pellucid literally means translucently clear. Cyrano is described like the person he is named after. Drinkwater - well what do you do with water?. I am sure there are more!

I completely understand why she would enjoy creating characters with such unique and descriptive names.

This just adds to my conclusion that this author really planned out so many tiny details before writing this book

Will's last name as well. "Cleary" = clear. But he's a Sound, not an Echo. Scratching my head in wonder.

Clear-y. I love it.

omg was Cully Flower supposed to be like Cauliflower?! Because I am just seeing this now...

Yes, it was funny the first time I read the book.

That's so clever! It went right over my head as I did not read them together and thought maybe there was a flower called Cully

The author did an amazing job in ,aking some names humorous to the reader. It made me pay the right amount of attention to characters with unique names.

I like s book where everything is planned out perfectly. It makes it impossible to ignore a paragraph or to peruse it.

It was a play at who writes the book. His last name is Clear-y while the author is Pellucid...it had to be related somehow.

Hey guys, how about Cully Flower ? That one’s good.
I mean, okay, the author knows how to play with names. I like that.

Yes! I loved the fun quality that was added with some of the names. Cully Flower made me smile. Alliteration is also found not just within names, like Peter Peterson and Victor Valerian and Fortious Fortuna, but even with characters whose actions were intertwined, like Dea and Damian.

And there are so many small details that all end up interconnecting. They seem inconsequential at first but everything meant something in the end.

I liked that too! The alliterations made the names more memorable in my eyes

I think that was author trying to sneek in a humorous name.

The alliterated names were quite noteworthy for me too.

I enjoyed he alliteration in Victor and valerie Valerian, and fortis fortuna.

Yes! The author is very clever and thorough. She must have had a reason for this, you're right.

And Peter Patrick Peterson...now that's a mouthful

Some of the names were a little too literal, like you can guess what/who the author was referring to, like Cully Flower (cauliflower) and Poudini (Houdini). I don't think there was much thought into the names, just whatever came to mind. Some of the characters didn't live up to their names either, like Valerian.
