|Fennel? At least there's the plant theme on Professors and it does sound {{tt|exotic|Maybe?}}, but it's still weird for a name of a person. | |Fennel? At least there's the plant theme on Professors and it does sound {{tt|exotic|Maybe?}}, but it's still weird for a name of a person. | ||

| | |That was dull and uncreative. They ruined an opportunity to create a good theme between the brothers. 伯 reminds me of {{tt|uncle|paternal elder uncle to be precise}}, and implies he's the eldest. They could have added some similar sounding word to reference his specialty, such as 爆 ''bào'' or 炮 ''pào''. After seeing this name, I think I can forgive "Chili". | ||
