Good Omens: Difference between revisions

* [[Namesake Gag]]: Anathema Device is descended from the man who invented the device. When Newt doubts this, she says sarcastically that next he'll claim he's never heard of Humphrey Gadget, Pieter Gizmo, Cyrus T. Doodad, or Ella Reader Widget.

** Device really is a Lancashire name (see below) but seems to be properly pronounced 'DEH-viss', so probably just a regional version of Davis. However, pronunciations of English names can change as families move round the country...

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Parodied and invoked. Sister Mary tries and fails to convince the adoptive father to name the {{spoiler|misplaced}} [[The Antichrist|Antichrist]] Wormwood, Damien, Errol, Cary, Saul, Cain, and a large number of demons and Hollywood villains, before settling on... {{spoiler|Adam}}. A more persuasive nun convinces the ambassador to name the {{spoiler|wrong}} [[The Antichrist|Antichrist]] "Warlock".

** There's also Dagon and Beelzebub ([[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Lord of the Flies]]), whom Crowley contacts when he needs to talk to his supervisors.
