Omishto means to watch. As we are learning in the beginning of the book, Omishto's personality reflects what her name means. Omishto loves to watch nature and reflect things back to nature. I think it is very intersting how before you are born you are given a name and then it reflects who you are.
My last name Glaub means to believe. I think this reflects my personality. I am always a believer when something is wrong or when I need hope. My name is like Omishto's because I believe in myself just like she likes to watch.
I guess we will see throughout the book if Omishtos personality still reflects on what her name means..

So...my name means "bitter", which I hope does not describe me!
But I found your connection with names to be interesting. And I looked up the meaning of "Herman" because I find him to be such a disturbing but intriguing character. It means "man in the army" which definitely reinforces my image of him -- strong, stubborn, violent.
I think names, especially in novels, always have such interesting connections to what the author is trying to convey.
