I found out that Felix mean lucky and the Felix in the book he was lucky because he was supposed to use the Stormbreaker computer first
Do you think there is a connection?

but i think that anthony horowitz does use names that have meaning- like, alex mean the defender of men, which kind of fits his job.

I doubt if it's a coincidence, AH definitely does he research on things before he writes them. That's pretty cool, though. I like the "alex means the defender of men" thing. Fitting. |

I searched Alan, and it means ''little rock'' which doesn't really fit him so maybe the alex thing might just be a nice coincidence. Sabina means ''sabine woman'' but that one isn't really of importance since the name is a pun of ''it's been a pleasure''...

haha. as in, stoned, as in, taken drugs... i know it's not really the way it works, but it's funny. i always thought that alan blunt was given the name because he's so blunt in the way he talks...and mrs. jones from the saying 'keeping up with the jones', as in, they have everything, and you want that, but then when you actually see what their life is actually like, then you realize that it's not what you think.

It's a pun of 'It's been a pleasure'. If you say it fast enough it does sound like Sabina Pleasure.
