    Vinnie is fortunate where the name thing is concerned - while Liu Xi speak English, she doesn't know enough of the intricacies to understand why his name is funny. Unless I missed the point, and his name means something dangerous he'd rather she not know (she already knows about his family).


I think it's just that having "Arcanus Greymalkin" as middle names is embarrassingly antiquated, melodramatic and baroque, especially in addition to already being Vincent De Soth. The Elder De Soth's apparently liked to shovel it on pretty thick.

(I'd laugh at him, but the names in my family aren't noticeably less weird... just significantly shorter.)

Still, you're right... I suppose if Liu Xi isn't familiar with western names, she'd not really know if his was especially elaborate or weird. Just don't let her page through a phone book looking for other Arcanuses.
