Stanhope?

I just missed the pop-up info about Goodwin and Whatsherface Stanhope. What's the significance of the name? Thanks.

Tempest link - Harper = harpy = In William Shakespeare's "The Tempest", the spirit Ariel disguises itself as a harpy to deliver a message of its master, Prospero.

And what I found from Lostpedia (it's frightening!):

Quote:

In Greek mythology, a harpy was a montrous, winged minister of divine vengeance with the face of a woman and body and the wings and claws of a bird. Personifications of guilty consciences, harpies harrassingly attacked the guilty. The word is often used hyperbolically to refer to an strident, demanding woman, especially a wife. "Alas, poor Goodwin, I knew him."
Charles Stanhope, 3rd Earl Stanhope was a British statesman and scientist. He wrote a scathing reply to philosopher Edmund Burke's Reflections on the French Revolution. Edmund Burke is also the name of Juliet's husband. "famous E.B. quote is All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
In the book Empty Cradle by Karen Harper, a woman wanting a baby heads to a fertility clinic in New Mexico run by a Dr. Stanhope, a feminist embryologist who is stealing the eggs of her patients and using them in experiments with drugs that can cause birth defects. "Juliet?"
Harper Lee was the author of To Kill a Mockingbird. The book was referenced in the Hydra station when Juliet was trying to convince Jack to sabotage Ben's spinal surgery using cue cards in a videotape.
In photography terms, a Stanhope is a miniature microphotographic lens incorporated into a small collectable like a ring or a bracelet charm. "Like Elsa's and Naomi's bracelets might contain?"

The description of a harpy reminds me of the bird who supposedly calls out Hurley's name in the Dark Territories.
