"Hey guys, what's wrong?" Jehan asked his friends one day.
"Jehan…you're the only one of us who has been gifted with a name," Combeferre said. "You have a proper first name and last name. Jean Prouvaire."
"That's right. No one knows whether our names are our first or last," Bahorel said.
"Well, Marius—" Jehan began.
"Really isn't part of Les Amis. He joined the night before we all died," Enjolras said.
"Combeferre's right, as usual," Courfeyrac said. "Courfeyrac could be my first name or my last name."
"Can we just assume it's your first name?" Jehan wondered.
"I hope Joly's a first name, because it will be weird as a last name," Joly said.
"Why would we call each other by our last names?!" Feuilly stood up. "These are our first names!"
"Yeah!" Grantaire called out. "Seriously, it's confusing when people keep renaming you. Sebastian is very common though, as well as Nicolas."
"Can we mention that fact that I almost have as many names as Valjean," Bossuet said.
Valjean popped up, "Well, I'm known as Valjean, Monsieur Madeleine, Ultime Fauchelevent, Monsieur Leblanc, and Urbain Fabre."
"That's five names," Combeferre counted.
Bossuet nodded. "I'm known as Bossuet, Lègle, Laigle, L'Aigle, and Lesgle."
"Five!" Combeferre cried. "Wow, that's impressive."
"Plus I don't have a crazy inspector guy walking following me. I never change my name, I just randomly have five names," Bossuet said.
"Crazy," Grantaire said.
"Can we just stick by our regular names as first names?" Joly asked.
"Of course!" Courfeyrac cried.
"Hey guys, what did I miss?" Enjolras said, walking in with Éponine.
"I still can't believe some people have five names while we just get one single name," Bahorel said.
"That doesn't give you permission to create our names!" Grantaire shook his fist at the universe.
