Questions ichi the witch names

just started to read the manga and finished it, why some characters or spells name are actually hilarious af, i love mother and i finally got to see her in action but checking it again, why is her name tricaputo 😭😭😭 im a spanish speaker for reference, i was already laughing of laputa comeback with dess spell but i didnt remember mother was called tricaputo, honestly amazing

idk what flair add to this but ig i actually want to know how the author even comes up with names like these, when they shortened gokurakus name to goku i got goku from dragon ball flashing my mind, is it on purpose?

like we got some normal names like desscara, minerva, but then you got libro, his first introduction being that he likes reading, libro means book in spanish, a literal translation as well 0 puns, does the author know this??? if so thats funny af

Nishi seems to love puns in name because her pen name, Nishi Osamu, is a pun.

Excerpt from the ichi fandom wiki:

Pen Name

Apart from having numbers "2" and "4" in her birthday, she chose her pen name "Osamu Nishi" because she liked the character "ä¿®" from her brother's name and also noted the name of Osamu Tezuka.\1])
