@SJohnRoss @ericmpaq It was Anthea Bell who came up with the English names.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthea_Bell

Really, hers are often better puns: e.g., Idéfix becomes Dogmatix, Assurancetourix becomes Cacofonix. Goscinny's names are usually non sequiturs but hers riff on the characters..

Whether or not trying to upstage the original is a cardinal sin for a translator is another question.

@SJohnRoss @Johnnephew Panoramix is from the Greek of Panorama about a wide view, one who sees everything.
