Let's try and keep this going...
What do you think of Lewis' naming pattern for Narnia and the other countries? I've always loved the names of the places - Cair Paravel, Archenland, Calormen (though that sounds like a medicine I had when I was a kid), etc... And "Narnia" is such a great word itself. Do you think there was a pattern, or he just choose names he liked? I know lots of the places within Narnia sound like odd English villages, which I love  *is asking questions at random, don't be mean* (BTW - is it just me that can't read 'Tirian' without thinking 'Trinian', as in the girls of St Trinian's?  )
