yep, and i have them all.
as far as names go i have some stuff i had gathered and saved...some will seem as more of a stretch than others.
Sayid: might be from author Edward Said. spelled different, pronounced the same. Many of the ways Sayid talks (especially in previous seasons referring to the others) is extremely similar to Edward's work on Orientalism. Also, Edward focused most of his work on assumptions and presumed facts about those of Middle East decent. this is right on- sayid has been judged in the show previously due to his origin.
John Locke: is actually the exact same name/spelling as a 16th century philosopher. he is reffered to as one of the most important "elightenment" thinkers, and is known for his work about the mind and personal identity. some same qualities yea?
Desmond David Hume: the 17th century saw a philosopher named David Hume, pronounced and written the same. He was known for rejecting the belief that the human mind was a minture version of a divine mind. He didn't believe in miracles. He was a utilitariast, and was first to coin the term. This means, he believes in the "ends justify the means" theory.
This philosopher was influeneced heavily by previously mentioned philosopher John Locke...
Daniel Faraday: Michael Faraday was a chemist and physicist in the 18th century. His works were centered on electromagnetism and electrochemisty. He also worked with magnetic fields surrounded objects. sounds familiar...
Miles Straume: some think it sounds like Maelstrom; a powerful tidal current or a large, "trapping" body of water...
