I was just thinking.

We know the first names of all the pevensies, but do we ever find out what Prince Caspian's first name is?

I don't remember ever reading it.

What do you think?

But is Caspian his First name then?

I always assumed it was his last name, but then again, if we look at Queen Elizabeth (Currently England's Queen) her first name comes after her title.

Probably "of Telmar" I mean, what's Queen Elizabeth's last name? Royalty doesn't have last names.

I would presume that Caspian is his first name. As for his last name, it would probably come from the name of his House/Dynasty. Megas Alexandros was of the Argeads (my House), which derived from the name of a mythical ancestor, Argos (I think that he was supposed to be the Argonauts shipbuilder, but he could have been the founding king of the city of Argos). Unless Caspian had someother mythical ancestor, besides his forebear Caspian the Conqueror, I can't see where a surname would derive from. Perhaps, assuming there is a seperate and independent Telmarine language, the word for conqueror, victorious warrior, or saviour (similar to Soter, Bhadur, or Khan) could serve as a surname (name of his royal House). But none is given, at least specifically. So, I geuss we're left to speculate.

See ya on the flipside,

Caspian isn't the only one with no last name. It seems that Rilian and Tirian didn't have last names either, and come to think of it, neither did Miraz or King Frank and Queen Helen.


CS Lewis created such interesting names like Caspian for the rulers that all they needed was that one name alone. :D

That's a good point.

Mrs McCreedy (sp) didn't have a first name either, did she?

No...come to think of it...did Polly and Digory have last names or did Uncle Andrew? I can't remember.

Digory Kirke (hense Professor Kirke in LWW)
Polly Plummer

Don't think Andrew has a surname, but I don't think it's Kirke, because he's Digory's uncle on his mother's side
 
She was called Hellen because it's Georgie's mother's name, and it sounded more believable with that name.

They also tried Violet and something else.
