I maintain the only fucked up name in that series is Duncan Idaho and it’s because he’s some normal ass dude. Paul and Jessica and Leto are all names with, by the time of Dune, ancient heritage going back to Earth. Makes total sense that far future aristocrats are using the names of their mythical ancestors. But Duncan? He’s just some dude. Why is he bearing the name of Idaho, a region of the lost Earth? He’s not noble and has no mythical heritage going back to the dawn of time.

Language is funny though it’s entirely possible Idaho potatoes got transported to another planet. People started calling them Idaho’s and then Idaho became a peasant/farmer surname divorced from context etc
Leto really does 0% governing and spends his days and nights fucking with Moneo for the love of the game, it’s his one admirable quality.
And the fact that Moneo just has to sit there and take it because he’s seen the future without Leto and has to let himself be bullied as part of the Golden Path

But Moneo lowkey loves it, he’s just too shy to say so.
Nah he’s straight up dejected the entire way through. That and intermittently panicking that this is the time Leto actually kills him
Oh I know he’s miserable, but c’mon there’s a part of him that’s a little pain piggy.
