I’m not sure if this is of importance, but DC Comics has a character named “Mister Bones”. Could that become an issue with the strip if you ever want to sell a print edition?

From what I know and understand, here’s how the power of names traditionally works:

When you name a thing, you give it an identity, unique and separate from anything else. You make it real. You also, in a way, make it into something. You give a thing the name “Fireball” and it has a direct effect on its powers and personality. “Mr. Bones” doesn’t seem to accomplish anything in this instance other than indicating that he’s a skeleton and kind of proper and authoritative. If she had given him a name like “Mr. Ineffectual,” that would have made him ineffectual. Naming him also accomplishes the task, if it is needed, of separating a thing from anything else. So if he was simply an extension of the evil in this world, naming him gives him autonomy, free will, all that jazz.

If she gave herself a name like “Goddess Supreme” then she’d have all sorts of powers manifest.

“Real names” have power in our current daily lives, too. If you know someone’s real name, you can Google them and find out all sorts of things about them. It’s also a way to keep identities separate.

Well, look at it this way. A thing is just a thing until you name it. Like a tree is just like any other tree until you call it an elm. Then it becomes different from any other tree, you identify it differently. Then of course it would be like any other elm until you gave it a name of it’s own, you might even personalize it in your imagination giving it a life of it’s own. Well, our heroine is in a world dictated by imagination, and what was a nameless evil has just been named. That can only be a bad thing.

We will all be better off for waiting for it. (Said with a *very sincere* smile.)
