Emma:Derived from Germanic ermen meaning "whole" or "universal". This name was borne by the mother of Edward the Confessor and by an 11th-century German saint. This is also the name of the central character in Jane Austen's novel 'Emma', the matchmaker Emma Woodhouse.
*shrugs?* Emma's name is Emma Peel because it is a pun on "man appeal," which is what Emma's creators said the successor to the departing Cathy Gale (John Steed's old crime solving partner) should have.

Frederico: Is the Portuguese form of "Frederick" which means: From a Germanic name meaning "peaceful ruler", derived from frid "peace" and ric "ruler, power". Several rulers of Prussia, Germany and the Holy Roman Empire have borne this name, including the 13th-century patron of the arts Frederick II of Germany, and the 18th-century Frederick II of Prussia, known as Frederick the Great. Another famous bearer was Frederick Douglass, an American ex-slave who became a leading advocate of abolition.
LOL RULER WHAT? The reason why Fredo Corleone got bumped off is because he wasn't a ruler, because he was shoved aside in his family in lieu for his younger brother, and he was plenty frustrated about it.

Harry depends on whether his name is Henry, as Behind the Name suggests, or Harold, or whatever name you can pull "Harry" out of. I haven't decided just yet.
