etymologies

I know this is very belated, but just saw somewhere that "Ariadne" in Inception may or may not take her name from the daughter of Minos, who helped Theseus escape the Labyrinthe.

Yusuf, the chemist, apparently means "(Allah) increases in piety, power and influence". Hmmmmmm.

And Dominic (Cobb) of course means "of our Lord".....Hmmmmmmmm................

Now someone explain Cobb, Eames and Arthur to me XD I'm inclined to think Cobb is probably not something as simple as cobweb LOL

(Well apparently one derivation of Arthur says it means "guardian/watcher (of the Great Bear)" and I suppose he watches rather resignedly over Cobb...

That's really interesting... I'd never thought they'd put much thought into the names of the characters.
