Did Anyone Else Notice . . . [BD Spoilers]

[.Bucket.of.Joy.]

Okay, so when Alice leaves she gives Bella the name of J. Jenks and an address in Seattle.

Now think about the name Jenks, sound familliar?
Keep thinking . . .

Jenks is the same name given to one of the victims of Victoria's newborns.
"The victims of this crime wave range in age from 15-year-old honor student Amanda Reed, to 67 year-old retired postman Omar Jenks"
(Eclipse, page 279)

Now, I was thinking, is this just a coink-ee-dink, or was it deliberate?
What do you think?

ehh... i dont think it has any meaning.
its seattle! not everyone can have the
same last name! xd

whee maybe the last name Jenks
just stuck in her mind and she put that
down without realizing it...

besides, that was the last book.

if it had some kind of connection she
would have mentioned it before the
book ended.

maybe he was a step brother from
childhood or somethin...?

oh well. rolleyes  

[drea lee]

maybe, but unlikely.
the only reason i think maybe is just because he seemed to know what the cullen family was...
but i'm sure he wasn't a vampire, (he was sweating like crazy, if i remember...) and since this was practically the last book i don't think she would put something like that in there so late..

Yeah in a city as big as Seattle there HAS to be more than one Jenks

yeah  

[Chaotic Waffle Faerie]

I think it's just some random coincidence. I know that when I try to write any kind of fiction, it's especially hard to think of last names. So it probably just was stuck in her mind and she wrote it without thinking.  

[_Shinigami_Kisses_]

I think she did it on purpose. heart  

[hkkpfwg96]

Coincidence. There are rplenty of people named Jenks  

[KiraLight]

I doubt that she just forgot she already used the name..or at least her editor would forget..but it seems ridiculous to use the same name, even if there are lots of people with that last name. And even more ridiculous to put it in there with a hidden meaning that's never addressed.

Edit: Although...I guess there's a chance she forgot. She did, after all, forget that none of the characters call Jasper "Jazz" in the first three books. Did anyone else thing that was totally random in BD?
