Comments on: Behind the Names http://www.theoriesonlost.com/2009/03/behind-the-names/ A place to write and read Lost Theories Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:54:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: GK21 http://www.theoriesonlost.com/2009/03/behind-the-names/#comment-5815 GK21 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 21:40:29 +0000 http://www.theoriesonlost.com/?p=1775#comment-5815 I agree with the post and have kinda been thinking along similar lines however I have been wondering given the names that are being banded about if they are al linked to biblical/ egyptian history. Richard Alpert is RA- the creator of man. Would explain why he is always kicking about. Horus was the God of life. In terms of biblical relations Jacob was the husband of Rachael who died giving birth to Benjamin (sound Familar) Could Jacob be some manifestation of his Dad, his guilt, that is why he is surprised when John Locke hears him, so how does Richard know about him?? I am only trying to play devils advocate here. Ido not think it is coincidence in the linkae of names Aaron i also believe is Jacob's great grandson. The symbolism is there whether it is an intentional red herring I doubt but this all links back to the start of the island and how did it all begin. I think our losties still have another time shift to go through.

Some great information/connections on the names! I also like the 'Desmond' and 'destiny' connection. Stephanie, What an original post!

Even if it's just meant as a shout out for the writers favorite philosophers and scientists. We could get clues from them by looking at thier underlying meanings or they could tell us things about the personality or purpose of the character by looking at the person they're named after. Locke, Bakunin, Rouseau, Bentham, Burke, Hume, Cooper, Carlyle, Faraday, Hawking, Lewis... I'm sure there are more that I'm missing... Philosophers, scientists, authors...
