I wouldn't claim to know anything for certain about Lynch's artistic processes, but I wonder sometimes if he doesn't put more thought into the names of his characters than he'd let on...

Cooper speaking to an unseen Diane... my association would be Diana, the Roman equivalent to Artemis...

In Mulholland Dr., Adam Kesher converses with a distant secretary, Cynthia... that's an alternate name for Diana, as Artemis was born on Mount Cynthus...
Deer images are of course a constant in Twin Peaks... interesting that Diana is goddess of the hunt, and deer images are often connected by way of editing & shot-selection to the young females in the show: Laura, Donna, Maddie...
Diana often depicted with a crescent moon...

Cycles of the moon a constant visual motif... a frequent transition shot between scenes... I actually think they matched the moon phases to the chronology of the plot, including this grandfather clock in Donna Hayward's house...
Near the end of S2, a puzzle box that features the phases of the moon...

In the Lynch-directed finale, Sylvia Horne... Sylvia derived from the Latin for forest & the Horne's always intertwined with the Ghostwood Forest... a string of moon-like pearls over a black shirt...
Diana, Artemis, Cynthia, Sylvia, Selene...
Note the Madonna icon in Kesher's run-down hotel room...
I used to write a blog about Twin Peaks, sharing the posts was actually the reason why got on twitter in the first place... stopped when technology wouldn't let me take screenshots of film & tv anymore, but seems like I can again now, might resume...

Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits
