Sunday 2 January 2005, by Anonymous : OMG! When I sasw this link on the homepage, I just thought, OMG!Sunday 2 January 2005, by Anonymous : I think it sucks that an RPG company is almost dictating what should be in the Buffyverse. By this reasoning Kendra, Kennedy, William and Liam and several others should all have last names. It destroys her mystique. I hope this isn’t real. and oh yeah...Lehane? Sunday 2 January 2005, by Anonymous : I like it. It was Joss who decided on the name.Monday 3 January 2005, by Anonymous : Isn’t Faith from Boston? Should Lehane sound southie? It’s a perfectly acceptable last name, but geographically speaking it doesn’t make sense. And keep in mind folks, in the much older Star Wars universe, it’s been the licensees who have established a lot of the background in that universe. At least here Joss said yes that’s the name, unlike George Lucas who changes things on a whim and then still cashes in the big fat checks....Monday 3 January 2005, by Anonymous : Does anyone REALLY KNOW how to pronounce it? Do you know anyone with this name? I’ve found about 5 different ways on the net. Each family has their own way.Tuesday 4 January 2005, by Anonymous : If it’s french it’s : Lea-hann. If it’s english it’s : Lee-hann-eeTuesday 4 January 2005, by Anonymous : It’s an anglicized variant form of the Irish surname O’Laithain or O’Laighean. O’Laighean is derived from Laigh which comes from the word laoch which means hero or warrior. O’Liathain is derived from liath which means grey. I think the second one fits Faith better in meaning; she’s a warrior of course, but her role on the show was always as a grey area, the dark side of being a slayer. Though I don’t think it was necessary to give her a surname, She’ll always be just Faith to me. Wednesday 5 January 2005, by Anonymous : Mariah, Faith IS from Boston. She was based in Boston as a slayer, in Buffy books it is mentioned shes from Boston and she has a Boston accent. Why cast someone who sounds like shes from Boston when shes ment to be from the south? and i like Lehane. weird but not totally exotic like they just wanted to give her an unusual name. Xxx Thursday 6 January 2005, by Paul : "Southie" is short for South Boston, which is part of Boston, Massachusettes. This part of town has a heavy Irish population and some pretty rough neighborhoods scattered throughout. (See the beginning of "Good Will Hunting" for a clue, got my own stories too, but won’t get into them here) Remember her fighting vamps naked story? The perfect origin place for Faith. Eliza is from nearby Watertown, Mass. and like any regional accent, "Boston" accents range from subtle to comical. Eliza\Faith falls toward the subtle side to my ear.Wednesday 12 January 2005, by K : Actually, if you listen to the Chosen commentary Joss says the he got the lines "Mad Skills" from Eliza herself... and in a commentary for a Tru Calling episode Eliza uses the words Mad Skills again, so that was ED not Joss :)Friday 28 January 2005, by Dude (don’t call me that) : Faith Wilkins. Wouldn’t that have been better? Maybe a whole new debate would have ensued... Or Faith Tyler (or Faith Perry). From Boston, right? (Faith’s Mom maybe a very young Aerosmith fan, and one night after a concert and snowstorm she met... (could maybe have gotten Liv or Aerosmith to play the Bronze). I bet they’d even write a new song... (still could y’know)Tuesday 1 February 2005, by Anonymous : It’s a bit of a ’tribute’ to Mystic River author Dennis Lehane. (Of course, that’s kind of like if she was from Maine and Joss decided her last name was ’King’...) These comments are an anwser to this article : Faith’s Last Name Has Been Revealed !
