We learned a lot about Sylar in “Six Month’s Ago,” including his real name - Gabriel Gray. When the character was created, was the selection of his last name intentional considering Sylar's fascination with "gray matter?" Or any relation to the biblical "angel of death" or perhaps a certain telekinetic X-Men Female we all know and love?

I like all those answers. Never thought about the Gray Matter one… that’s cool. But, if you look at the bulk of the names on the show… Isaac. Matt. Peter. Gabriel. Micah. You might see a connection – or you might see a connection that we didn’t see.

Is anyone else kicking their own teeth in for not recognizing the Judao-Christian name theme?

yeah, specially Hiro and Mohinder

could Hiro be a double-play on words?

yes, the obvious Hiro-Hero thing
but he was named after Hiroshima, and the event that they are trying to stop is an atomic explosion......just something that came to me in the shower

Hiro: traditional Japanese name meaning "broad" or "widespread".

The name is often used as a double play for Hero though in English terms.
