Weird Theory On II Names

Weird theory on II names

Spoilers for episode 16 ahead

I'd also like to warn this is mostly for fun and there's probably some detail that will prove this all wrong, but it's just an idea I had and I wanna hear people's thoughts on it.

I have a theory on II character names and how to tell who's real and who isn't. This is going to be a weird explanation so just bare with me.

Steve Cobs is obviously meant to be a pun on Steve Jobs, however due to this his name sticks out. He's one of the only characters with a name. However, I think this might show he's been one of the only few real people we've seen.

In episode seven of season 2, Mephone4 is sent to jail. In the new episode Cobs hints that this was in fact real jail, saying that it was one of the few times he screwed up. In the jail we only get one named character, Rusty Jo. While this is also a pun on "a cup of jo", Jo is also a real name. So the two times we see characters that can be presumed weren't made by Mephone4 had real names.

So what the hell am I trying to say? Normal objects have a first name then whatever object they are. So using Steve Cobs as an example we get: Steve (name) Cobs (object). Then we Rusty Jo we can presume it's something like Jo Cup.

We can also use Judge Gavel as an example of the object being the last names. The way to address a judge is "Judge [last name]" meaning that gavel is just his last name. So we have three have three characters that either have or could have a first and last name that weren't made by Mephone4.

Now there was also the other inmates that were in with Mephone4 besides Jo. While the ii wiki names the rest of them as "dagger, razor blade, swiss army knife" and more, they're never explicably named. This happens with many of the unnamed II characters like Pizza Cutter.

Now we also have Dr. Fizz, but I believe he is also a Mephone creation despite having a courtesy title. He probably made it because of the soda dr fizz. When he does appear it's after Mephone4 cuts the came because of not having a doctor near by, so he probably quickly made him while it cut.

So why doesn't the contestants and people Mephone4 made have full names? He's said it himself, he's lazy. Back then he was too lazy to give them names and later on just accepted that none of them would have first names. It'd be too weird to have the old cast have no names while the rest of new cast have names, or it'd be too much effort to come up with that many names.

This would also explain A.D.A.M's name, as Steve Cobs named him an actual name rather than if Mephone4 made him and named him "robot" or something.

Again, feel free to give your opinions on this, I'm curious.

TLDR; Real objects have a first name and their last name is just what object they are. Mephone4 was too lazy to come up with names so he never gave any of the characters he created names.
