They all of them have special significance. To prove that, we will proceed by induction:
001 is special since it is the multiplicative unit.
002 is special since it is the only even prime number
003 is special since it is the first odd prime *and* the only integer to be formed as the sum of the two integers preceding it.
004 is special since it is the first perfect square.
Proceeding in this way, we find interesting characteristics which make each 3 digit integer special until
A. we reach 999 or
B. we find a 3 digit value which is not special (call it P)
If case A happens, we are through.
If case B happens then we must ask ourselves, "What is the reason that P is *not* special?" Could it be due to it's position in a well-ordered set? Is it isolated, or does it merely represent the beginning of a 'cluster' of non-special numbers? If there are other non-special numbers, do they have any algebraic structure or topological structure characteristics that make them non-special?
As you can see, there are many, *many* questions that we can ask about P. But just the fact that we *can* ask so many questions about P means that it is a very special number indeed and, therefore, it is *not* non-special.

The majority of the names I use don't have any significance; I just pick them at random from names I think the parents would have named them. The only times characters have meaningful names are when the characters call themselves by names of their own choosing.
