Does anyone think that we should add the etymology of characters' names to their articles? (Etymology = Meaning of name)

e.g. The name "Clark" could be seen as ironic, since the name actually means "cleric" or "scholar", the name "Foutch" could be derived from the French word "fou" meaning "mad", since Foutch is said to be crazy in the PS1 version of R2, "Razoff" is a reference to the hunter Zaroff in the short story, The Most Dangerous Game, the English word "Reflux" has a number of meanings, and...I could go on and on.

So, what do you think? I say the meaning behind the names adds a little depth, and would be worth putting on the articles.

We already do. We've just yet to identify them all.

Eh, not to sound mean, but Clark's name is based from Superman, hence his super strength.

Also applies to Clark the Superbunny.

We only add such information if it is either obvious or official, like the fact that the name Razoff derives from Zaroff. Otherwise, there's no reason to mention it.

Agreed. You don't need to rush into Wikipedia each time you find an odd word or name.

Actually, I said bollocks. Read my post. And no, I didn't edit it, else it would say so underneath it. And a bullock is a castrated bull.

I was talking to Stacey, who was talking to AEO (aka Holy Crap) who did say bullock.

*blinding flash of comprehension*

Ah...I see.

Glove Boxer.
Boxing Glove.
You think i got a point here?

No, not at all.
