Qwilleran and Arcturus are out there, but I don't hate them. Kaikias, though - I appreciate the meaning/namesake, but the sound and spelling are awfully unpleasant. Somehow it sounds a bit like a word you'd get in trouble for using at the dinner table. Clearly, though, she put a lot of thought into these and they do have meaning/background.
Personally, though, I would have picked any other Greek wind name over Kaikias.

Am I crazy that these are actually growing on me? xD
I already love Arcturus, and Kaikias is such an interesting sound. Qwilleran sounds kinda alien but then the NN Qwill is adorable. Actually they all have easy nicknames, except for Arcturus (Art/Artie?).
I like that she didn't just pull these names out of nowhere, they actually have history. And I applaud her bravery lol.

I imagine number four will be Gsoevevsksoduevwbwoxofud. Arcturus is kind of interesting, though.

According to Wikipedia:
Arcturus is the fourth-brightest star in the northern hemisphere night sky
Kaikias was the Greek deity of the northeast wind
The only one I even sort of kind of like is Arcturus

I like Qwilleran, but still, a cruel, cruel woman.

Qwilleran is okay but I’m not keen on the other two. At least they are unique.

Those are so ugly.
Jim Qwilleran was the main (human) character in Lilian Jackson Braun's series of mysteries, the Cat Who ... series. He was a retired newspaper reporter and was always solving mysteries with the help of his two Siamese cats. Kind of hokey, old-lady cozies. His friends called him Qwill.
The others sound like scientific names for animals, except Kaikias also sounds like a martial art.
