I do wonder how contrived the Replika names in Signalis are like they're obviously at least slightly contrived to fit the bird thing but the bird thing is kind of so irrelevant to anything that actually happens I kinda suspect most of it is just the things being named then the writer finds a bird that kinda sounds like the abbreviation

#logxx #All the abbreviations end w R so even Elster and Adler are probably not that contrived #That being said Most of the bird names r fairly obvious #So probably at least a little contrived #The main thing is just again the bird assignment seems almost entirely random #Like there's no reason that owls are assigned domestic tasks or that hummingbirds are therapists or that macaws are dipshit grunts #And shit like Adler (Eagle) being inferior to Falke (Falcon) is really contrary to the symbology generally associated w those birds #The only one whose name actually seems potentially meaningful is Elster which like duh she's the player character
