They must be given a true name.” “By that logic they already have a name. They do not need another.” “But their name means they have no name!” “They are a paradox, then,” Oliver said dismissively. He was not bothered by the name of the mountains, just by their presence. “We should name them the Paradox Peaks,” Moore said with a bright smile. “Then they would have a name that is not No Name and therefore would no longer be a paradox. Thus not aptly named,” Oliver drawled with a smile as he slouched further into the warmth of his cloak.
