Manticore seems to go for peoples First Names, so is likely done to honor or remember specific people in their families past. Honor 'Stephanie' Harrington is named directly after her great great grandmother who thanks to century long records is both well known and remembered for specific reasons (How many of us outside royalty can trace our ancestors back that well).

Beowulf on the other hand seems to celebrate the family surnames of their ancestors. Its also likely that they take some pride in showing off how genetically diverse their background is. Jacques "Benton-Rameriez y Chou'' reflects a fusion of Middle/Old English, Spanish, and Chinese ancestry topped off with a French first name.



Take a look at his baby sisters name.

Sir Horace Henry Harkness.

Question...

Is Sir Horace's actual first name?

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense
