Just some examples of names used in ther series Homecoming. These names are original, not suprising for characters of OSC. But the origins of these names had to come from somewhere. They arent just random letters. Any ideas on their origin?

Some are loosely based on the Book of Mormon (ie, Nafai -> Nephi). I feel like I read somewhere that the names were based on Russian but I'm not sure about that.

Yes the people who settles Harmony were Russian.
