Freeman
Freeman means born-free, as opposed to those born as
serfs during the feudal system of the middle ages. So Vincent
Anton Freeman is the one who is born freely, without genetic
engineering.
Vincent
From Latin vincere "to conquer". So Vincent is a
conquerer; a conquerer of his dreams.
Jerome
Jerome means “of holy name”. Jerome is
a holy character, one who saves the humanity. In my view,
Jerome is the character created by uniting of Vincent and
Eugene.
Morrow
Morrow means "the following day". The mission
to Titan was at the end of the week, ie, the 7th day. The
following day, the 8th day is day that Jerome achieved everything
he set out for.
(Note: the working title of the movie was original "The
8th Day")
Eugene
Eugene means “well-born”. Eugene was born perfect,
he was born with "heart of an ox", "IQ off
the registers", and he was "blessed with all the
gifts" but his fate had something else.
