Whats in a name?

[JohnMilan]

This is just something I have been mulling over for like, 10 books, but never had a chance to ask in a forum because I didn't belong to one. Has anyone ever seen discussed The Dragons name? Lews Therin. Like, maybe, lose therein. Ala, no matter what you will lose?

This opens up interesting possibilities:

 

Perrin Aybara = Pairing I Borrow. Means he sleeps with other men's wives.

 

Rand Al'Thor = Ran All Sore. Means his feet hurt.

 

Egwene Al'Vere = A Green I'll Fear. Shows her choice of Ajah.

 

Matrim Cauthon = My Trim Caution (pronouced with a lisp). Means don't let the lace fool you, he's straight.

 

Moiraine Damodred = More rain, damn, I'm drenched. Weather forecast.

 

Nynaeve Al'Meara = Nine Eve, All Mirror. Stares at her reflection every night.

 

Faile Bashere = Fail Basher. She'll whack you if you don't succeed.

that was a good song, thanks.

 

i wasn't joking, tho. i think that's one of the things LT's name references.

[sVieira151]

It is indeed :)

 

And well yeah, after all, he's called Lord of the Morning

 

EDIT: Also, for the first 2/3 books I always though his name was Lewis, not Lews

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

[sVieira151]
