Which of course gets one thinking:

Charlie Brown - Severian
Lucy - Thecla
Sally - Merryn
Snoopy - Triskele
Linus - Jonas
Pigpen - Hethor
Peppermint Patty - Agia
Miss Othmar - Malrubius

Lex Shellac, contemplating Charlie Brown (after eating Lucy's brain)
pulling the football away at the last minute from himself.

p.s. I've heard the names "Dorcas" and "Ultan" on television within
the last week.  The latter on CNN I think, though I don't recall where
the person was from.
