first time, long time here but i thought some of the names used in the series were interesting, dont know how much of it was intentional.

jonas is a variant of either john or jonah. jonah was an old testament prophet [the one who got swallowed by the whale], john was one of the four new testament gospel writers

daniel was an old testament prophet too, he was cast into a den of lions but was 'miraculously' saved

also cassie [or cassandra] in greek mythology was given the gift of prophecy but was cursed in that no one would ever believe her predictions

nothing too good for lucy or gemma but the name denderah is the name of the modern arab town. the ancient site is Ta-ynt-netert [taken from wikipedia] and that means 'She of the Divine Pillar' - poss meaning Bree

Welcome, tristan!

This is interesting. Do you think the name Lucy might have been chosen because there is no biblical Lucy?

I think you are onto something here, and I welcome you again!

Very Happy

I think the difference in Lucy and Lucifer could be overlooked because of how bizarre it would be to name a female character "Lucifer" Rolling Eyes

(and as people still refer to him as "the morning star," it's not unbelievable). The satan of course, means "adversary," (and not "ultimate abyss of evil" or whathaveyou)-- which would be fitting for Lucy, and the giant grey area that is the Order.

I understood, and that was my point when I said that people still refer to the satan as "the morningstar"... since that's still so commonly done, it doesn't seem an unlikely connection to me, based on a misconception though it may be.

i think lucy could definitely be taken as lucifer-satan [especially with the adversary meaning].

its kind of a stretch but what i wondered was whether the fact each of the characters closest to bree have names with prophetic significance means that bree is thought to be the prophet for the order of denderah

That doesn't seem like so much of a stretch-- they definitely all have that prophet thing going. Aye, I'd like to delve further into a theory I have to add on to that, but I'm lacking the time.

[I always enjoyed looking into the more "religious" aspect of LG15.]
