Are any other names besides Martin repeated?
a couple Vermin names i remember were used like five times in different books
Trimp, the name used for the hedgehog in TLOL, was also used for a minor shrew in Pearls of Lutra.
Matthias was a repeated name.
Guess you could technically say Skipper's a repeated name. Several Skippers weren't given names beyond their title.
There was Ruggan Bor and Ruggan Axehound. Repeated names annoy me. :-\
Ripfang and Ripfang, from Mossflower and Lord Brocktree, is an example of a repeated name. There's actually a lot of discussion about them possibly being the same character, but Jacques affirmed it as coincidence.

It can't be a coincidence, because they both had that kind of curving fang. ???
Well, sometimes the names are repeated on purpose, for example, the Russano in The Long Patrol is the same Russano in Lord Brocktree. The chronological order of the books is not the same order they were written. Hope that helps. :)
Ripfang is the same guy as Ripfang in both books! Lord Boar the Fighter said that Ripfang had been in the mountain before.
or maybe that's just what it seems like.
There was Abbot Glisam and Friar Glisum, pronounced the same way in the audiobooks.
There were 2 Bucklers: a mole from MTW and Buck Kordyne.
I think armel was
bane was

Yes but they ae the same character
There are two Ripfangs.
Martin is repeated. :P ;D :P
Yeah, but that's on purpose.
I am almost positive Urfa is a repeat, but I can't seem to recall which books it appeared in apart from The Sable Quean.
@Tiria - Nice catch on Ruggan Bor and Ruggan Axehound, I missed that one!
There's also Log a log Urfa from High Rhulain.
I think Trey was repeated.
A lot of vermin names were the same in the books. I think there were at least five different Louseworts; Three were weasels, one was a searat, and the other a ferret.
there was a Milda in Triss(minor)
and a Milda in the Sable Quean.
I think it was Midda in Sable Queen; she was a shrew.
In Mossflower, when Martin is listing his old friends from the north, he mentions a 'Thrugg the Strong.' There's also the more famous Thrugg the otter in Salamandastron.
Martin also mentions Felldoh the Wrestler which I thought was neat.
^that was because he wanted to hide his past it says in martin the warrior
I think that was more of a cover. He was named Felldoh the Wrestler in Mossflower, but it appears he wanted Felldoh to play a different role in Martin the Warrior. It works, but it feels a little awkward.
I found alot of them. Here they are:
1. Ripfang who was a searat captain in book 2, Mossflower (chapter 41). There was also a Ripfang in book 13, Lord Brocktree who became an officer to Ungatt Trunn (chapter 19).
2. Urthclaw is a badger and is the grandfather of Urthstripe the Strong in book 5, Salamndastron (chapter 40). Urthclaw, who is a mole, helps the Stickels escape in book 2, Mossflower (chapter 1).
3. As Dorathea Duckfontein Dillworthy said there was a minor shrew named Trimp in book 9,The Pearls of Lutra, who helps Grath repair her boat (chapter 25)and there was Trimp the hedgehog maid in book 12, The Legend of Luke (pretty much everywhere).
4. Blowfly is a minor rat mentioned in book 9, The Pearls of Lutra, who Barranca is speaking to (chapter 3). Blowfly is also the name of one of Raga Bol's captains in book 9, The Pearls of Lutra (chapter 32).
5. Hortwill Longblade Braebuck, or Horty as he is know, is another repeat. he is a hare who is mentioned in book 16, Loamhedge ( in almost every other chapter). Hortwingle, a short-eared owl also known as Horty, is the Husband of Boldred in book 6, Martin the Warrior, (chapter 29).
6. The last Person is a cook of the Long Patrol: Corporal Butty Woppscut. he is in book 17, Rakkety Tam, (mostly chapter 31). Butty is also the name of a squirrel cook in book 10, The Long Patrol, although he doesn't become the cook until the middle of the book (chapter 26).
Well that's it
Enjoy :)
I also just found another. There are two Walts. Wandering Walt the mole in Rakkety Tam and theres also a minor Walt in Redwall who is talking about his grandmother and fortresses.
Sorry for triple posting but here's another. Log-a-Log Urfa from High Rhulain and Urfa Buckler's brother's (Clerun) son .
I don't remeber any... sorry!
Quote from: WildDoogyPlumm on May 13, 2012, 06:47:27 PM
I think Trey was repeated.
You're right. Trey the Mousebabe in Taggerung and Trey the sister of the hare in The Rogue Crew.
Just one more...
Thrugg the otter in Salamandastron and Martin the Warrior mentions a friend of his who is named Thrugg in Mossflower.
I can't believe there were so many repeats.
lots of reapeats names are often minor characters so he might have forgotton
Repeated names actually gives the Redwall series some "accuracy". It isn't unreasonable to assume that two creatures were given the same name at different times in the Redwall history, isn't it?
Yep, if anything I think it makes it more realistic. Why not?
I have no problem with repeated names :).

No one has mentioned that there are 2 Shorebucks---in back to back books! :o

But what if it was the same character?
I asked this on the wiki, and they clarified it wasn't.
Oh, alright.
I don't know if this was mentioned before,but the name Viola was used twice. The first was in Matthias she was the extremely annoying bankvole,older sister of baby Rollo. The second time was in Pearls of Lutra, when Rollo was an old vole, there is another Viola (who cannot be Rollo's older sister,she is much younger than him).

Um, I think Rollo's older sister was named Cynthia, not Viola. :)
Scratch was a vermin name you could find every other book.

Coincidence. Are y sure he wasn't just pulling the leg of whoever asked?
It had to be coincidence; the same Ripfang would have died of old age. :P
Hmm....Didn't think about that before. But I still stick with my thinking that it's not.

Jacques said it was coincidence, so if that is what he said , then it is coincidence.
Weren't there two hedgehogs in the series named Pozy? One in the book Mossflower and one in the book The Rogue Crew.
Pretty sure there was. Posy Cogg's, Ferdy's, and Spike's sister and then there was Posy Uggo's.........friend........
Maybe Redwall names are the same as regular names, and some are more popular than others.
I'm pretty sure there's a repeated name in The Bellmaker, can't remember what it was though.
There were two Ruggans, also. One in The Rogue Crew named Ruggan Axehound who was an otter, and one in Taggerung named Ruggan Bor, who was a fox.
Did Posy die? I don't remember ferdy and cogs having a sis
No, they did have a sister, and she didn't die.
The name Badtooth was repeated, once as a stoat captain and once as a weasel cook.
There was Saltir the searat captain and Saltear the the vermin in Vizka's crew.

It was actually Saltar, not Saltir. And Saltar and Saltear are definitely different.

Actually, there are only two redwall characters named scratch in the entire series. One from Redwall snd one from Mossflower. So your wrong about there being a vermin named scratch in every other book.
