Ok, there have been alot of theories that the characters on LG15 were named after biblical characters. I dismissed this because Bree, Lucy, Taylor, Gemma etc... are NOT biblical (unless you count Bree as being short for Gabriel, which I think is a stretch.) BUT, I do think there is a method to the madness. Anyone have theories about character naming they'd like to share?

I dunno . . . I kinda think they just picked names that reflected their personalities. Bree is pretty unusual, and I've always wondered if it was short for something, but it somehow fits (Bree the brain-iack). It's sort of a trendy name right now, I think.

Daniel and Sarah are both more classic names. Both characters are a little bit sadder than their counterparts -- not old-fashioned exacty, but kind of slow to act. Not a lot of energy and kind of resitant to things.

Jonas is not a new name, but it's a little less common and kinda trendy for an unusual and appealing guy.

Taylor, I think has only been popular in the past 20 years or so. For me, it is the quintessential name for a high school girl. Also, it was originally a sirname (like Zachary Taylor) so it's not too feminine -- Taylor is a bit of a tomboy (or at least she seemed like it at first).

Much was made of Gemma and Jules both being variations on a theme. . . . that's my two cents.

Hmmm.... Jonas in the bible, there's like a reference to the ocean. And his parents dissapeard at the ocean.
Taylor is sometimes a boys name, and she is kinda a tomboy (?)

Alex could mean no law. -> A meaning not in greek and lex meaning law in latin
Lucy could mean Lucifer Twisted Evil

Lucy is actually a saint name. She is the patron saint of blindness.

You could also that Taylor's name is derived from tailor which comes from the Latin "taliare," meaning "to cut."

I actually mailed Bree on YouTube long long ago to ask her if Bree was short for anything, and she said she didn't think so, but that she would ask the creators about it. But anyway, If Bree was short for something, it could be one of the following:

Brittney Britta Britty
Brianna Breana Breanne
Gabriel Gabriella
or Briana... My name.. haha. I go by Bri though Wink
