Penelope was the name of Odysseus's wife who waited faithfully for 
him for twenty years (while he was away having the Odyssey) despite 
being surrounded by suitors insisting that she marry one of them. If 
names are meaningful, Penelope is waiting for Percy. 

Any speculations on that lovely surname Clearwater? Like clear 
sailing: Percy will not be rocked by storms and shipwrecked on 
cannibal islands as long as he's with her?
