Bit of a spelling mystery with last names
Alice and Victor are married. Their surname is oft-spoken in dialogue, and Jamie calls Alice "Mrs. C" with great frequency. So We know it begins with a "C". Whether it's "Ciprion", "Ciprian"", "Cyprion", or "Cyprian", is a bit unclear, as we have no help from the liner notes. We know the name is French, again because of dialogue. SO the question is, really, which is the most French spelling, I guess. "Ciprian" is definitely a Romanian spelling. "Cyprian" isn't really French in origin, but it well could have come into France, because of the Catholic influence of St. Cyprian (from whom we get the word "Cyprus"). "Ciprion" is by far the most common English spelling, and Alice is British, so that's the one I've kind of arbitrarily chosen for the links on this page. Victor himself isn't British, so maybe that's flawed logic. i dunno; whenever these pages are created, they're gonna have to bear Template:conjecture, anyway, cause we simply don't know proper spelling for these characters.
