I don't know if anyone ever mentioned this before but I think that it's really important that Circus' habitants don't remember their real names..

Name is crucial part to one's identity so when we don't remember our name what happens then?

Or let's look at many references to Bible that show has..

Many Apostles received a new name when they followed Christ..

And our Circus' habitants also received new names and Cain is considered a god of the Circus..

I wonder what would happen if one of characters one day remembered their name.. would the Circus break?

Or maybe nothing would happen.. or just maybe it just won't ever happen xnnxnxnnxnx

But I think that this is important.. all names have meaning behind them so them not remembering their real names and receiving new ones has to mean something, right?

If the Circus' habitants are tormented by their own trauma and we know that Jax deserves to be there the most.. maybe them losing their real names is also symbolic of them being stripped away from their identities..

Maybe they're really in hell..

Or maybe they're in purgatory..

I'm spitballing right now bxbxnxnxn

Anyway another thing that I realized after seeing that other people think that Pomni might be a reference to Russian word "Помни" that reads the same way and means "to remember"..

And Kinger told Pomni that it's okay that he'll forget because Pomni will still remember..

And I think that this is also important.. I think that if someone will one day remember their real name it'd be Pomni..

Other characters names probably have also important meanings but for now I'm too tired to think more about it..

Happy Feast Day

Saint Matthew the Apostle

1st century

Feast Day: September 21  Patronage: accountants, Italy, bankers, tax collectors

Matthew, a former tax collector from Capernaum was called by Jesus to be His disciple.  After his call, Matthew invited Jesus home for a feast. On seeing this the Scribes and the Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors and sinners. This prompted Jesus to answer, " I came not to call the just, but sinners." Matthew was the first Evangelist and one of the witnesses of the Resurrection and Ascension.
