The names in Shakespeare’s  Love’s Labour’s Lost  present a delightful linguistic mix. The names of major characters are Anglicized names of actual French nobles, which emphasizes the thematic parallelism of historical and fictive events. Other names broaden the international landscape, including  Nathaniel , a biblical association,  Forester  (which is French as well as English), and  Armado , a Spanish tag. The length of this paper does not allow room to describe many names in detail. However, the cross-cultural puns make this play especially interesting; e.g.,  Moth  has at least two meanings in English, but pronounced  mot  in French means ‘word,’ ‘remark,’ ‘cue,’ or ‘answer to a riddle’ – which points most clearly to a thematic meaning. A full analysis of this play will appear soon in my book  Names as Metaphors in Shakespeare’s Comedies  (Vernon Press).
