I'm not sure if you're a native French speaker, but most of the names in Asterix & Obelix are puns and worth exploring! - Panoramix (panorama) - Abraracourcix

I'm not sure if you're a native French speaker, but most of the names in Asterix & Obelix are puns and worth exploring!
- Panoramix (panorama)
- Abraracourcix (a bras racourcis)
- Bonnemine, Assurancetourix, Agecanonix, etc.
- Tainnor 6y agoThey translate most of those names differently in other languages, in German, they use German puns, etc. (strangely enough, Idefix wasn't translated).
- riffraff 6y agoI'm italian, so some of the things made sense from the start (Panoramix, Asterix and many of the one-off characters which I can't recall) but some have always been obscure :)
