People tried to read a reference to The Princess Bride’s Inigo Montoya character in the name, but Terry said:
“Inigo is just a name. So is Skimmer. It’s not an intentional reference to anything. […] if you are a certain age, were brought up in the UK and were taught history in a certain way, you recalled Inigo Jones as a famous 17th Century architect — mostly remembered because he had a memorable name.”
