Speculation:
If we accept that Mothers Winter and Summer have a corresponding Maiden, then we must speculate on who that would be.  My best guess at the moment is that the role of the Maiden is played by the Summer Lady.  It is not known what true purpose the Ladies' power fulfills, or at least it hasn't been revealed.

Given that Clotho is associated with life and giving birth, it seems more reasonable that the Summer Lady would serve in this role rather than the Winter Lady.  It would also fit with the "youngness" of the Summer Lady, and it is not unreasonable to draw the connection between the Lady and Mother.
I would dispute equating the three Fates of Greek/Roman mythology with the Maiden/Mother/Crone. The Maiden by her very nature is just that - MAIDEN. She's not gonna be having kids any time soon. That's the Mother's job - hence why she's called the Mother.

Also, most depictions of the three Fates from Greek/Roman times is of 3 Crones, not a maiden/mother/crone set.

Maybe I'm just not remembering, but has there been any mention in the DV about "namers"?  I had thought that was mostly a Rothfuss idea.  I could see myself getting on board with the idea of Harry having some sort of affinity with names, but as far as I can remember there hasn't been any real mention of it so far.  Not until Uriel's seemingly overreaction to being called Uri.  Which I still think might just be due to removing "of God" from his name.  He may have just taken it as being brought down to the level of the Fallen, but that's probably reaching.

This makes me think two things:

1. I knew the "el" ending was important and related to God, but that makes me wonder why Lasciel still uses the "el" tag on her name.
2. If Harry removing the "el" tag from Uriel's name would have had a negative effect on Uriel, as is theorized above, what effect did Harry renaming Lasciel's shadow "Lash" have on her?

Before you reply, please remember I'm theorizing further based on the quoted theory.
