Maybe PP is a fan of word games?
It certainly does seem like that from the trilogy.
Also Panzerbourne, Panzer, the tank! A rather fitting name is it not?:)

I wonder if anyone else noticed Latrom is Mortal backwards. Why would Lord Boreal choose a name signifying weakness? I always thought he was not the type of person to imagine himself as weak.
I refer my hounourable friend to my affectionate parody, Inspector Morse's Dark Materials, which I wrote three years ago shortly after I first read HDM.

it suggests that he is physical. And eventually it is his, er, physicality for Mrs Coulter that gets him.
Exactly true.Although maybe its PP way of hitting back at all the critics who insisted that HDM promoted under age sex to minors. Lol.

Very good story indeed. Well then, obviously somebody noticed it before me.

Stella is star, Maria is a common name, so it seems to be just a simple name. Although it is a bit too much of a coincidence.
The Virgin Mary is also sometimes referred to as 'Stella Maris', which means 'Star of the Sea'.

I never knew that. How does Mary relate to the sea?

I'm not sure. I just remember finding it when I was looking up the name 'Mary' to find its meaningfor my sister. (My little sister is called Miriam, which is the Hebrew form of Mary. Or rather Mary is the Anglicised Latin for Miriam)
