It's well known that names in folklore have long since held great meaning and importance, to the point where losing one's name is akin to losing oneself (which we've already seen Nasu showcase with the faeries in Lostbelt 6: Fairy Realm of the Round Table - Avalon le Fae). It then only logically follows that giving yourself a name, or taking a name for yourself as might be more applicable in this case, should further one's own existence. You could even link this to Marisbury's association with astrology, and in turn the association with fortune readings. We even see Olga doing a divination using astrology (another hint??) in Fuyuki, so perhaps giving herself the Animusphere name is just a way of tricking the world or fate itself into going for the future which she envisions for herself: namely the one where she marries Marisbury and they take over the world together. Some people would probably say the fact that she uses their chant in Case Files is some proof that they are blood related already, but I mean, so does Kirschtaria. Are you all going to tell me Kirsch hooked up with the big MB himself?
Needs more research...
