Notes[]

  1. Irish translations provided by Irish Identity.
  2. Yes, they all spell the "th" bit with a "t". It's got nothing to do with their non-thetaïc accents; it's just funny that I chose T.V.'s name to be Tomas in 2019 even though I later revealed him to be Korean.
  3. One source calls him Peter and another (the source I saw first) calls him Unnamed. Regardless, Unknown was still a popular name at the time, ranking at #479!
  4. Oh, she's a teenager in this. One of the evangelical scientists was a high school boy. Creepiness factor fixed!
  5. 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 This practice has continued for those who married after joining RLBFDI; their married names are never used except in official contexts outside the series. Compare Toni Ortega being used instead of Toni Deeb or Toni Garza to Liliane de Vries, preferred over Liliane Houdt van Eten.
  6. No doubt, the father is Joe. He doesn't claim her as his own, and that's still a point of contention that needs to be resolved (Maja's in the EXIT, while Joe's competing in RLTPOT).
  7. Only for the show. Outside the series (and actually sometimes inside it), he is simply known as Jamie.
  8. If you haven't caught on, the families of Nick, Frederic and Columbus are (loosely or extremely tightly) based on those of Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln respectively; in the case of the first two, even their death dates are at the same time.
