As you may recall, I had Luna introduce herself as "Mauno Luna" to Motoki in chapter 2. This was just me compressing "Mau no Luna" -- "Luna of the Mau" -- into something that looked like a proper name.
Well, in chapter 3, Luna asks Doug to get her identity papers like he obviously has. And I said to myself, "Say, is 'Mauno' a real surname anywhere?"
Answering that question has suddenly turned a "utility" scene -- "Hi, Luna, here's your ID." "Thanks." -- into something a lot more fun, as I get caught up in what has occasionally been the unexpectedly entertaining part of writing this story, the research.
And because I am a cruel, teasing author, I shall leave it at that. <evil grin>
