Sorry! Guess I didn't look hard enough for where you posted it. Regardless - am I the only one who thinks "similar to its Japanese name" is a bit of a copout? Still, what it is is what it is.

The way I see it it can only be pronounced "Die-d man" "Day-d man" or (as I interpreted it) "Deed Man"
Hell apart from the extra N in Mann the name is exact scottish colloquial for dead man.

You may have something there. According to Wiki-
"Callisto is named after one of Zeus's many lovers in Greek mythology. Callisto was a nymph (or, according to some sources, the daughter of Lycaon) who was associated with the goddess of the hunt, Artemis."
I'm guessing they used this name to continue the tradition of defense attorneys being named after greek/roman mythology figures.

Possibly. There are a thousand different suggestions as to what the name puns for Kay Faraday and Calisto Yew are, so it's next to impossible to figure out which one it really is.
Kay Faraday could also be a reference to the Fairaday cage, but I'm not sure what that has anything to do with her.

So yeah, I think it's at least very possible that they took that into account when choosing his name. At least I'd like to think so.

So probably it's more like penitent, like someone atoning for a sin or crime. Penitentiary's even a fancy word for prison.
I didn't know about about the butterfly/tree connections for the ambassadors' names, but they seem to fit. All I could get out of Quercus Alba was Albuquerque, and I knew that didn't make any sense at all.

Yew Calisto sounds a bit like Eucaliptus (sp?). Maybe that's what you were thinking about..?
Anyway, here are some possibilities for her name pun:

Are you implying that...
That it's implied Lang raped Calisto....because y'know...shirtless and out of context THAT scene with Shih-na Lang and Badd could be interpreted VERY differently. Not helped by the Tripod in Badd's trousers.

Calista in Greek means "beautiful" or "the most beautiful" which could be playing off both her supermodel physique and her obession with her personal beauty. (Fun fact, Calisto is actually the male form of the name. Calista could likely be changed to Calisto to flow better.)
