** Things are pushed even further by the inclusion of the [[AlternateUniverse Pre-Scratch]] Trolls, who's names not only relate to their respective astrological signs, but are mostly collected from the suggested names for the other trolls of their respective signs. 
*** Damara Megido: Damara is a breed of sheep, and Aries is the symbol of the ram.
*** Rufioh Nitram: Rufioh's name comes from the character Rufio from the movie ''{{Hook}}'', which plays off of Tavros's love of Pupa Pan.
**** Incidentally, Rufio was the name of Tavros's inner-manifestation of his self-esteem.
*** Mituna Castor: Mituna is a shortening of Mithuna, the Sanskrit word for Gemini.
*** Kankri Vantas: Kanri is either derived from alpha Cancri, the star system that is home to the Cancer constellation, or the word "cancrine" which means "appearing crab-like" or "appearing cancerous".
*** Miulin Leijon: Miulin's name is a French surname, but sounds close to the word "mewling" which plays into her [[PunnyName cat theme]].
*** Porrim Maryam: Porrim's name possibly comes from the name of the Jewish holiday Purim, which is celebrated by wearing costumes.  Porrim is appropriately fashion-savvy.
*** Latula Pyrope: Latula's name more than likely is a corruption of Tula, the Hindu word for Libra.
*** Aranea Serket: Aranea is the Latin word for spider.
*** Horuss Zahhak: Horuss's name is a [[PunnyName play on]] the horse theme he shares with Equius, as well as a corruption of the name Horace.
*** Kurloz Makara: Kurloz seems to be the only troll without a meaningful name.
*** Cronus Ampora: Cronus is named after the ruler of the Greek titans who overthrew Uranus.  His Roman name, Saturn, is also the name of the planet that rules the Aquarius sign.
*** Meenah Pexies: Meenah is a Hindu/Sanskrit name that means "a fish or cherished stone".  The name shares the name of the ruling class in India's caste system, and Meenah's [[BizarreAlienBiology magenta blood]] is the highest in their caste system.
**** Her name could also be a [[PunnyName play]] [[StealthPun on]] her attitude.  Compared to Feferi, she's "a little meaner".
