1-According to Wikipedia at least, Russel (or rather Russell, of which Russel is an alt.spelling of) doesn't exactly mean "Red". "Russell is a male given name, that originated from the surname Russell, which in turn derives from the Anglo-Norman russel (Old French rossel) "red-haired or red-skinned", from Anglo-Norman rus (Old French ros) "red hair color" or "reddish skin" and suffix -el".

Technicism aside, it's definitely not speculative.

2-Not speculative. A fun bit though: Apparently it's a shortened form of Gwenhwyfar, which is Guinevere, Arthur's wife.

Watt's name is Arthur. Think about it.

3-Here's an idea: Everyone who shares a family name, give them their own section. First thing explained is how their family name fits CNR, then you continue with what their specific first names allude to color-wise. For example:

Belladonna Family: Belladonnas are blah blah blah.

-Blake Belladonna: Blake is Black in old english.

-Kali Belladonna: Kali is blah blah.

-Ghira Belladonna: Ghira is blah blah.

I feel it makes things less redundant.

4-Why the hell is that speculative? Mercury is mercury, and like 99% of the metals in it's section of the periodic table, it's silvery in color. What's speculative about it?

At most, that we don't know if they were trying to allude to the planet....an argument that gets laughed at when you consider how much grey/silver he has.

5-Mmmm....just to be sure, does Bartholomew mean anything by itself?
