The way you finally learn what the name means is a great "OH!" moment.
It's also the point where you should put down the book so the terrible 2nd part doesn't ruin the amazing first half.

yes, it is palindrome, but it is pronounced seven eves. explaining why, however, would be a spoiler.
Boris Vidolov
I listened to the author. It is like two words: 7 and "eves" (pronounced like 'eevs').

Towards the end of Part Two it becomes clear that it should be pronounced "7-eves" and where the name comes from.
GeneralTHC
Yes. It is Seven Eves. Eves, as in Adam and Eve, I presume. That is how it is said on the audiobook anyway.
Jesse Kona
Yes, that's how I say it.

It's a palindrome. It's spelled the same front and backwards, which is just seven both ways. seve-n-eves.
