It is revealed that Lemony Snicket was believed to be dead by the Baudelaire parents, as The End states that, following with the tradition of naming children after someone who has died, Violet was to be named Lemony if she was a boy.
Este evidențiat, totuși, că părintii Baudelaire îl credeau pe Lemony mort, căci în Sfârșitul se spune că, urmând tradiția de a boteza copiii după cineva care murise, Violet urma sa fie numită Lemony dacă ar fi fost băiat.
