Significance of (especially Lizzie's) Names part deux
It's been said before that some of the names in the series seem to have Biblical connotations. Looking at the Wiki list you've got Michaeland Cross, Angel, Saul, Simon, Mary, James, Tommy (Thomas) and Jakob . According to a couple of baby name sites: Kalani means heaven or chief; Datu means either chief or is a variant of David and Durai just means chief (ever read 10 Little Indians?). Finally, Scratch is a nickname of the devil and ink could carry "dark" connotations as well.
So
If Lizzie's name is Elizabeth, and she's vomiting because she's pregnant, does that mean someone is going to give birth to a Messiah figure? There was a Mary, but she pretty much seems like toast at this point.
Interesting. Michael certainly fits in perfectly, as the Archangel Michael is the commander of heaven's angelic armies. Angel is the lowest in the angelic ranks (Cherubim, Seraphim, Archangel, Angel), which would be ironic seeing as he's the highest ranking officer among them. Saul... that's worrisome. He was the first King of Israel who disobeyed God and got his crown snatch from him as a result. King David went on to take his place.
