Aha! I had a suspicion 'Malcolm' and Wise was a reference to them, back before I knew the lead writer was British... Good to know I was onto somethingThe answer to that is better known by those who play the mod! I don't have too much in-depth knowledge of many of our settler characters.
A little from column A, a little from column B. I tend to get more inventive with side characters who's name you perhaps never even hear. But from our main cast...
Jake Evans: Originally called "James King" when I joined the SS2 team. One of the first things I did was find a name close to it that the Player character speaks out loud. I ended up going with "Jake". Evans comes from "Rich Evans" One of the members of RedLetterMedia.
Lupe de la Fuente: Name comes from the character of "Lupe" from the game Grim Fandango, because I like that game. "de la Fuente", because I think it sounds nice and also holds a few vague hints about her past.
Cedric Mansfield: Just pulled out of the air. I wanted something that sounded a little pompous and self important.
Theresa Fortunato: "Theresa" because I like the name, and same with the surname!
Algernon: Partly because I think it's a cool name, partly after a side character from the show ReBoot.
Malcolm Berman: First name was originally "Morecambe", after the English comedy duo "Morecambe and Wise". However Gath suggested an American audience may be confused by the name "Morecambe" so I changed it to Malcolm. Berman because it sounds a little mean, and also after "Rick Berman", producer of the old Star Trek shows.
"Old" Paul Jones: "Paul" because the Player character speaks the name, "Jones" because I thought is suited him!
Stodge: Because he fits many meanings of that word.
Hubert: I thought it sounded funny.
Wise: See above, also named after the English comedy duo "Morecambe and Wise".
Answer to that can be found in 'The Ron's terminal client records. And perhaps in future content...
