Hey /lit/,
Wordplay question here, is there a term for when a character's first and last name combine to represent a real object?
Example:
Winter Green
Cherry Blossom
etc.
I've been Googling like made but to no avail.

For a forum about writing, I'd think that there would be more responses being, well, written.
It's possible that we don't know or the word doesn't exist.

I don't think there is a word, nor does there need to be. On a slightly unrelated note, my favorite example of this is from Lolita:
>Dolores Haze
>dolorous haze
Lazy?
>>7752120
>tfw dolores literally means "pains"
I know it's supposed to be after a saint but still, who would name their child that
Cliche
>>7752143
>no accent
get out
>>7751384
The closest term I can come up with is 'name pun', but that seems to be more properly for things like 'Amanda Hugginkiss' or 'Jenny Talia'.
>>7752137
implying the best things in life don't cause dolorousness and the saint thing is pretty hard to ignore
