Gall names end with -ix. Roman names end with -us. Like Christmus Bonus or Gluteus Maximus.

This is a normal post I get that, I just don't get the pun/play on words

This is a normal post But not all names in the Asterix comics were puns
The best names were (Getafix, Cacophonix), but they were often just recognisable words or phrases out of context; e.g. Chief Vitalstatistix, legionaries Sendervictorius and Appianglorius.

This is a normal post Don’t forget, most of them are different in the original French
eg Getafix is Panoramix, Dogmatix is Idefix

This is a normal post True, they did get localised during translation.
The legionary’s names wouldn’t work as well outside of the UK for a start. I’ve no idea what they were in the French version.

This is a normal post I get that they weren't all but they usually had some element of humour in them so I guess I was looking for more of an obvious gag.
idefix = idée fixe = dogmatix = dogmatic
is brilliant

This is a normal post I’d never made that connection before, that’s awesome.
