Don't read TOO much into that. After all, why would anyone name their son
"sheer rockface" (Cliff) or "dark spot" (Mark) or "Rabbit home" (Warren),
or other short-names like Bob and Art. There may be meanings hidden in
lost languages, different spellings (Maybe Klingon's writing system is as
confusing as English's), archaic roots, etc etc.
Of course, it's much more likely they just made up names they liked without
consulting TKD.
