Pollux and Castor are the two brightest stars in the constellation of Gemini. As such, his name would literally mean 'Sunlight Catcher'. Sollux rather transparently divides into "sol-lux", the Latin words for "sun" and "light", respectively. Incidentally, the word "mage" is in the word "armageddons". He mentions to Terezi that this will happen before he goes blind, which also may be a reference to his title as the "Mage of Doom", as he is able to predict unfortunate events.

This is meant to convey that he speaks with a bit of a lisp, possibly a reference to the programming language LISP. When typing, he doubles all of his "i"s (as a probable reference to the appearance of the Gemini sign, as well as the fact that "II" is two in Roman numerals), as well as replacing "s" with "2" and "to" and "too" with "two". His associated zodiac sign is Gemini ( :gemini: ) and he has two horns on each side of his head, as the number two is a theme for him, because of his relations to Gemini.
