I really looking forward to seeing the Twins and Hazel in D5 only because i really want to see the interactions between them. What dynamic do the three of them have? Captain and crewmates? Childhood friends? Cousin like relationship? I am dying to know how hook's relationship with smee impacted their kids' relationships because i see smee as a grandfather figure to the Hook kids.
Captain Hook is born James Bartholomew Orion Jones. His last name is really Jones not Hook however after he loses his hand he embraces the name Hook. His children continue to use the name Hook even after they come to Auradon. James is the name of his maternal grandfather while Bartholomew is the name of his paternal grandfather. Orion is the hunter constellation foreshadowing his hunting of Peter Pan.
Harriet is born Harriet Vela Bellatrix Hook. Harriet was the name of Hook's mother who dies long before Harriet was born. In connection to the second star, I like to think hook really loved stars and constellations which he learnt from his paternal grandmother. Vela from the Argo Avis constellation (considered the pirate constellation) which was divided into Carina (the keel), Puppis (the poop deck or stern) and Vela (the sails). Bellatrix is for the 3rd brightest star in the sky which is also considered the warrior star.
Harry is born Harrison Sirius Canopus James Hook. Harrison to honour hooks mother again. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky and in my mind Hook's father's name. Canopus is the second brightest star in the sky. James obviously is for Hook's first name.
CJ is born Calista Jane Carina Hook. Calista was Hook's paternal grandmother's name. Jane was for himself once more as Jane is often considered the female version of James. Carina is for the constellation Carina (The Keels)
Hazel is born Calliope Cassiopeia Puppis Polaris Hook. Hazel is a nickname that stuck. Calliope comes from the Greek Muse Calliope. Cassiopeia comes from the lady of the chair constellation. Puppis is unfortunate but he wanted to complete the pirate constellation. Hazel likes to forget its apart of her name. Polaris comes from the star in the ursa minor constellation. Pirates has to calculate their position they had to recognise celestial bodies like the sun, moon and particular stars including Polaris, Rigel and Procyon which is here Polaris comes from.
Captain Hook has nicknames for his kids related to their celestial| Greek names. Harriet (My warrior), Harry (My brightest Star), CJ (My beauty, in Greek Mythology Calista or Calisto was a huntress loved by Zeus and turned into ursa major) and Hazel (My Muse or my North Star)
How old does everyone see the hook siblings? Personally I see Harriet as one of the first kids born on the Isle of the Lost so in D3 I See her as 22 to 21, Harry is said to be 19 at the end of D3, CJ is around 15 in WW so she is around 17 and Hazel at 10ish.
In ROR Uma says it's been 30 Years since Auradon and therefore the isle was created but I believe she was rounding up. Morgan Dudley said it was a 'couple of years' on her live. So, I like to put RoR at about 5-6 years after D3. If Hazel is the same age as Red and Chloe, then she'd be around 15-16 in D5 making her 10ish when the barrier came down.
So, Harriet is 2-3 years older than Harry, Harry is 2 years older than CJ and CJ is 6-7 years older than Hazel.
I don't actually mind Hazel's name being Hazel. Do not get me wrong i'd much rather it be something like Asteria or Nerissa or Katherine or Isolde or Calliope or Calanthe but when i first heard we were getting yet another hook kid i was half expecting her name to be Henrietta as Harriet is the female version of Harry and the name Harry is derived from Henry.
Personally i wanted her name to start with C to give CJ a letter buddy. Harry and Harriet both start with H, Cj should have a first name letter buddy as well.
