I think that you have taken a wholly all too deconstructive view of the
formation of her name. While what you have said is true, I would venture to
conjecture that the formation of the her name 'Eileen Lane' was not because
of it's sembelence to the verb "to lie," but it's phonetic nature. It sounds
like a very lazy name, and as for the word languid, it only enhaces the
feeling through both feeling and alliteration.
