I've never seen Asterix in English and just checked the Wikipedia page you linked.

I was wondering how they translated the characters' names. Since the chief is Vitalstatistix, then it must be good. Nothing to do with the French name but still funny.

Right :) Some other names I like are Bacteria (wife of the fishmonger, Unhygienix), Cacophonix, the bard, Getafix, the druid.

Idefix to Dogmatix is a gem.

Ha ha, just googled that. A gem indeed. Idée fixe (fixed idea, obsession) to Dogmatix (Dog / Dogmatic).
