Yes, "Nezhoni", the name of the rat, is rather too close to "Nizini", the name of Erlak's friend the goddess of the sincerity. I realize that. Unfortunately, I for some reason didn't realize it in time, until after both names had been firmly established...
By the way, if you're wondering why "Nezhoni" should strike the champion as being a particularly odd name for a rat, assume that "Nezhoni" is actually a fairly common name in the world of Soup, though not common enough to be entirely prosaic. It's like a giant rat on Earth being named "Avery" or "Shannon". (Though a giant talking rat on Earth would, of course, be quite remarkable regardless of the rat's name...)
