No fuck off. Dale gribble is a loving kind man who openly accepts his father for being gay. Dale gribble is a good man who has some crazy ideas but very few are actively harmful to others and he would never vote for trump ever. He would absolutely believe (and be correct) that trumps Fandom is a cult. Fuck this post.

I NEVER KNEW THIS OMG
Okay! So, essentially yes but there’s a little more to it. Cynthia probably was named so in English (in Japanese she’s named after a flower, but 99% of important Pokémon characters are named after plants in the original Japanese, English tends to go with puns. Which I approve of) as a counter to Cyrus. Cynthia means “Moon Goddess”, Cyrus means “Sun” as well as both names starting with the same two letters.
However! Cynthia is clearly connected to Mesprit. Mesprit is the most in focus of the Lake Trio, as the being of emotion. Given that Cyrus’ whole deal is “Emotions suck! We should get rid of them!” this makes sense. Cynthia is adamant about how emotions are important, and her hair decorations are meant to evoke the shape of Mesprit’s head.
So it is possible Sentio/Sentia was thought of during the naming process. Which is indeed roughly how you would conjugate “Sentire” for present first-person. (This is where we get the word “Sentiment” from)
But it’s also possibly a happy accident, because the other two were DEFINITELY intentional.
“Voluntas” is, in fact, the Latin word for “Will” (this is where we get the word “Voluntary” from) and “Cogitare” is “Think” (where we get the word “Cogitate” from, not that anyone uses that anymore). They are very clearly named after the other two Lake Guardians.
Happy accident or not they are 100% meant to represent the Lake Trio. Cynthia’s defense of emotions, Cogita’s knowledge and Volo’s too big for his britches ambitions.
