I haven't read the book yet, but this has made me interested in reading it. I totally appreciate it when you can get so much depth from a name in a story. Thanks for starting this forum.Herbstlicht wrote: ↑01 Sep 2019, 11:47 What did you think about the meaning of names in the book? Some are pretty self-explanatory: "Will" is speaking volumes of the character, "Damian" is the alter ego.
What are other examples that come to mind?

I do also love a good alliteration, so Peter Patrick Peterson immediately caught my ear too... noble, rock steady Scandinavian son is appropriately applicable. And oh little Poudini, a name that repeatedly brought a smile.Noosh wrote: ↑02 Sep 2019, 05:30 Peter Patrick Peterson is the first name that stood out for me. Aside from the fact that it is alliterative, it is also meaningful. Peter means rock in Greek , Patrick means nobleman and is romanized , and Peterson is Scandinavian meaning son of Peter.
Also, I liked how Poudini somehow brings to mind Houdini, the great escapist artist/magician.
