Yes! I laughed out loud when I read the sword's name.
Whenever I read about a sword with a name I think of The Hound’s comments on people who name swords...

Arya: He stole my sword, Needle
Hound: Needle. Of course you named your sword.
Arya: Lots of people name their swords.
Hound: Lots of c&%$ts
Sal the Cacophony, bounty hunter (or manhunter, if you prefer), reminds me of the various bounty hunters from the epic sci-fi/fantasy comic Saga: Book One, with names like The Stalk, The Brand and The Will.
I suspect Sykes has read that comic. I do not mind.
I like the fact that the gun is named (view spoiler)[The Cacophony (hide spoiler)], and aptly so. I also like the fact that sword is named (view spoiler)[Jeff. Jeff the Sword, of Imperial blue. Because why not? As Sal says, “It’s just a sword, not even my best one.” (hide spoiler)] That’s a hoot, is what that is.
