Quote:

Notice that of the three Companions we know the names of (Inara, Nandi, and Sheydra), two have names which end in 'ra'? Nandi's name does not, but then, she was 'shunned' when she left the Guild, and may have taken another name, although Inara calling her familiarly by that name suggests this is not the case.

I believe that Nandi is an african name meaning 'strong willed' which is pretty to the point concerning the fair dulcimer slayer, I would say.

I always assumed Jayne got his name because of John Wayne - whose real name was a girl's name too - 'Marion'.

I just learned - from reading an artical on the latest Jolie/Pitt adoption - that Pax means "peace" in Latin.

I'm probably a thousand steps behind you all on that one. Feel free to roll your eyes.
