Eleanor asked Gail Carriger:

Where did Sophronia's name come from? What was your inspiration?

Gail Carriger I wanted a name that was old fashioned sounding, but not inaccessible. I poked about various gravestone and Victorian naming sights and that one just jumped out at me. I have no idea where Temminneck came from.
