I think it was intentional like ‘cinder’ for Cinderella
Yes, but cinder doesn't mean anything to me so there is no problem. It seams more ridiculus when they say " good morning Lady Smoot. How do you like your tea Lady Smoot?"
Same for me with another story where the ML's name was in Spanish and it meant jail/prison.
HAHAHA I'M DEAD. Do they look up random words on Google to name the characters???
It's difficult to take this seriously when the name of the main character means "smoot" in my language (￣∇￣")
