Of Swords and Parasols

You have a lot more tolerance for silly names than I do. Penelope and Persephone, I could handle, but I wouldn't read beyond the point where I discovered a ludicrous name like Lochinvar. I assume they took it from Sir Walter Scott without realising that it was never a first name, but is a title. Calling a protaganist "Loch on a hillside" has to be one of the silliest naming decisions I've ever seen, especially when the surname is English and means "farmstead at the sea". To compound the silliness with Parthenope is even worse.
