[Facts] Re: Rilian, Trinian, Drinian...?
I've read quite a bit on CS Lewis himself, and there's been no discussion of where his names came from - unlike books on Tolkien, for instance, which are much more forthcoming.If you're a collector, Douglas Adams has a female character in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy whose name, Trillian, sounds wonderfully large and outer-spacey but was formed from her very middle-class Earth name, Patricia Macmillan.
