I think the author did an amazing job in crafting the names of certain characters, and ensuring the reader would pay extra attention to these names.Syson Dolph wrote: ↑22 Sep 2019, 11:15 Having a name that is not only unique but also has meaning that is out of this world is a fact I take pride in. I love the author`s creativity as it makes the tale stand out more with varying perspectives.

I wonder whether this was the case for other characters, specifically Pellucid.

Pellucid, by definition, means translucently clear - so that name is most definitly a play on words. And it makes sense!Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑23 Sep 2019, 04:49I wonder whether this was the case for other characters, specifically Pellucid.

I completely understand why she would enjoy creating characters with such unique and descriptive names.Kro92813 wrote: ↑24 Sep 2019, 21:46 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 agree with you. Pellucid is very nice. It also has that originality that makes it memorable.djr6090 wrote: ↑18 Sep 2019, 08:51 I think my favorite name is Dew Pellucid. 'Pellucid' means easy to understand, crystal clear. Besides being the author's pen name, it evokes thoughts of sparkling water and reflective worlds. And it is the name given to a librarian! If you want to have something clarified, ask a librarian!

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
