Will Olive's dark past affect Ophelia's future?

Onomatology

Specter means ghost

Olive Specter As in olive tree.

Ichabod Specter (Olive's late husband): Hebrew for 'without honor'. Could refer to the character Ichabod of Sleepy Hollow.

Rigger Mortis (Olive's second husband): 'Rigger' means to rig or dresses, while 'Mortis' refers to the French word 'mort', which means death. Rigor Mortis is a state in which a corpse's limbs become stiff and difficult to move.

Hugh Thanasia (Olive's first husband): From the word 'Euthanasia', means literally "good death" in Ancient Greek. Refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner.

Lou Thanasia (Hugh's brother): A shortening of the given name Louis. Louis means "Famed Warrior."

Earl E. DeMise (Olive's fiancee): Means "Early Demise", early death.

Tim Lee DeMise (Earl's brother): Perhaps could refer to "Timely Demise". It is a coincidence that all of their names refers to death, because they are all dead, and it is possible that Olive murdered them all (And she did once woohoo with the Grim Reaper) For Olive Specter's biological son, please look under the Beaker category.

Nigmos -- Unknown

Ophelia Nigmos (Olive's niece): In Ancient Greek, it could mean help.

Willow Nigmos (Ophelia's mother, Olive's sister): Refers to the Willow Tree. Creon Nigmos (Ophelia's father): In Greek, means 'ruler'.

Hecate Nigmos (Ophelia's paternal grandmother): Greek for far-shooting. Refers to the goddess of wilderness and childbirth.

Zog Nigmos (Ophelia's paternal grandfather): In Dutch, zog comes from "kielzog" which means wake, the white turbulent water behind a boat.

Muenda -- Could refer to Munda, which is a place in the Solomon Islands.

Lerato Muenda (Ophelia's maternal grandmother): Unknown, an African name. Peponi Muenda (Ophelia's maternal grandfather): Means melon.
