The whole establishment of names and naming in Waiting For Godot is very different from reality. While this play was written and translated to English in the 50s, all of the names present in the play are not common names found today, nor were they common in America in the 50s. These unique names include Pozzo, Godot, Vladamir, Estragon, and Lucky. In addition, names within the play do not hold as the ultimate form of identifying somebody. Lucky is constantly reffered to as “pig” while Estragon is called “Mr. Albert” by the messenger who is called “boy.”
