So, I really hope this isn't just me, but has anyone taken a while to get some of the puns in the PW series? I am spectacularly slow at realising there is a pun sometimes.
Example: I finished the first case of Ace Attorney for the first time, oh...nearly six months ago now. Approximately THREE MONTHS LATER, I was thinking about it. My thought process went something like this:
"What was that guy's name? Frank Sahwit? Yeah, god that guy was-wait. Frank Sahwit, Frank saw i....ohhhhhhhhh!"
I have done that entirely too many times. It took me until after I had finished JFA that I realised 'ohhhh, I get it! BEN Trilo Quist! God I'm stupid.'
Or 'Lawrence 'Moe' Curls'. I was thinking as I was playing "So I can see Moe and Curly, but where's Larry? I (hours pass) ohhh!"
Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

More than that, though, I've noticed a lot of name puns don't make a lot of sense. They're just there, save for the occasional "Luke Atmey".

I've been wondering about one...is Misty Fey supposed to be a pun? (Misty Fey, mistyfey, mystify...?) Or am I just reaching on this one?

"What was that guy's name? Frank Sahwit? Yeah, god that guy was-wait. Frank Sahwit, Frank saw i....ohhhhhhhhh!"
The exact same realization came to me a few months later as well...

Ben Trilo Quist = Ventriloquist.
Lawrence 'Moe' Curls = Larry, Curly & Moe, AKA The Three Stooges, a stupid TV show from... I dunno, some time ago.
I didn't get Moe's name pun until I came here and looked at the profiles. Same with Manfred von Karma. 8D

There was a pun on Winston Payne? I don't see i-ohhh!
Man, I didn't even REALISE that one. I just kept imagining Winston in Max Payne's shoes, all gritty and film-noir.

Blimey I didnt even know that was a pun until somebody posted that.
I didnt get the Moe gag because I don't know the 3 Stooges well.
As for "Misty Fey" I think it's a pun but it depends how you pronounce Fey. If you pronounce it like the "fi" in hi-fi" or something it sounds like "Mystify" which is fitting, Misty being a spirit medium and everything, y' know.
On the other hand
and 
aren't puns.I got "Frank Sahwit" early on, Phoenix makes a joke himself when he calls him

Payne, well, it's a pretty normal sounding name compared to the other punny names in PW. As for Ben Trilo Quist, their names were never put together like that in the game, it was always "Ben and Trilo Quist"/"Ben blah blah blah Trilo etc.", so I didn't catch it until someone pointed it out to me.

Yup, goes with his Japanese name of "Auchi", which is some form of "ouch" or "Ouchie!". I can't believe I just said ouchie.

Actually, I want to go all the way back to the very beginning: how long did it take everyone to make the Nick = Phoe'nicks' connection?
It was about when Maya started calling him 'Nick' for me.

Celeste = Celestial...as in, heavenly. { Well, yeah...given her being dead and all!}
Inpax = SOUNDS like Impact...since she WAS an impacting force on all involved. :P
It's a pretty smart Pun...and one that is easily overlooked, too - plus it's a beautiful name.
