Talk:Summer's Gravestone/@comment-74.62.147.206-20170926042754/@comment-4010415-20170926044224

I like to think that the writers wouldn't make Summer a Maiden on top of being a Silver-Eyed Warrior. Her name is a coincidence anyway, considering Monty didn't come up with the idea for the Maidens until after they finished making Volume 2.

Overall, Summer's name is Summer Rose specifically because she alludes to the poem The Last Rose of Summer. It's like how Weiss' name translates literally to White Snow, and she alludes to Snow White. Jaune's last name is Arc because he alludes to Joan of Arc. Cardin Winchester got his name from the fact that he alludes to Henry Beaufort, who was the Bishop of Winchester, as well as a Cardinal. Velvet got her name from her allusion to The Velveteen Rabbit, in which the child who owned the stuffed rabbit became ill with scarlet fever, which some old literature refers to as scarlatina. Bartholomew Oobleck alludes to Bartholomew and the Oobleck, Peter Port seems to allude to Peter and the Wolf, etc etc.
