Schneewittchen
Actually Killey was right. "Schneewittchen" is the German form of Snow White. I'm from Germany, so you can believe me ^-^

A few little additions, if anyone else is interested.
Belcoot - Akatsiya, Giatsint, Gvozdika - Also Russian names of plants. Acacia, Hyacinth, and Carnation, to be exact.
Bernadette - Het-Heru, Nebt-het, Ast - These are alternate names for Hathor, Nephthys, and Isis respectively.
Dinn - Manar al-Sana, Najm al-Sabah, Shams al-Zuha - These are the names of three sisters in 'Hassan of Bassorah', a tale from the Book of One Thousand and One Nights. The basic story is a fairly well-known one, about a man who finds beautiful maidens that transform into birds by wearing feather dresses, falls in love with one of them, and steals her feather dress to keep her from leaving.
Eresh - Erra, Gugalnanna, Ner-gal - This one's interesting, as it seems related to some of the speculation concerning Eresh. Sumerian mythology has a goddess named Ereshkigal, who rules over the land of the dead. Her husband, depending on the version of the myth, is either Gugal-ana or Nergal, god of war and pestilence. Erra is a Babylonian god of war and other disasters sometimes associated with Nergal.
Gavaya - Hatchet, Rati, Kama - Rati is the Hindu goddess of passion and lust, Kama is the Hindu god of love, and they are married. Fitting.
Goesch - Club, Log Club, Iron Club
Isabel - Hertjoturr, Sigrún, Brynhildr - Valkyries.
Isato - Daphne Bow, Lotus Bow, Thistle Bow
Josephine - Palatyne, Melior, Melusine - These three are sisters from European folktales, born of a human father and a fairy mother, and raised in Avalon. They took revenge on their father for breaking a promise to their mother, and were themselves punished. Melusine, for example, had the lower body of a snake (or fish) every Saturday.
Lu - Puckle Bow, Eiger Bow, Gatling Bow - The Puckle Gun was an early rapid-fire gun invented in the 1700s, which inspired the later Gatling gun. Not sure how Eiger fits in.
Meroon - Wood Nuoh, Hard Nuoh, Beaver Nuoh - That thing she's holding is actually a kendama, a popular Japanese toy.
Nelis - Nekhbet, Dhwty, Benu - Benu is the Egyptian sun bird, often associated with Ra.
Nick - Lizard's Tail, Komodo's Claw, Dragon's Fang
Nifsara - Shataghanta, Shakti, Pinaka - From Hinduism. Shakti seems to be some kind of universal female creative power. Pinaka is Shiva's bow, and a rocket launcher.
Nikea - Poor Wolf Fist, Starved Wolf Fist, Starved Dragon Fist
Richard - Stielglitz, Zaunkönig, Bachstelze - These are German for Goldfinch, Wren, and Wagtail, which are small birds.
Sagiri - Splinter, Sliver, Shard
Sharmista - Agneya, Asani, Sudarsana
Zegai - Zenki, Sojo, Sagami
Zerase - Shooting Star, Brilliant Star, Blinding Star
Belcoot - Akatsiya, Giatsint, Gvozdika - Also Russian names of plants. Acacia, Hyacinth, and Carnation, to be exact.

Re: Weapon Growth
I'd like to point out that the last 2 names of Isabel's weapon (Sigrun and Brynhildr) are also names that appear in the Volsunga.

The best weapon for me is a police baton, because that's one of my weapon.
