Oh, as for puns. While it's true that they ADD a deeper meaning to names, you shouldn't translate the names into whatever the pun is. Puns are just a play on words. They can be for comedic purposes, yeah, or in the case of Kichi's title, they can be there as a kind of poetic speech. Like the 'onore' (one's self) having ono (おの) written above it, with the latter sounding like axe (斧). The pun there adds a deeper layer of meaning in the usage of the word, but it's not what you should be translating the word into.

The puns you brought up regarding Kichi and Sei's titles are very good, but not what they should be translated into.
