Different identities

Edmond Dantès assumes a number of aliases during the course of the novel, and many other characters have a variety of different names as well. What do you consider to be the significance of names in The Count of Monte Cristo? What do you think is the significance of each of Edmond Dantès’s assumed names?

I thought the name Sinbad the Sailor was kind of a funny choice. Everyone would know it was made up. But it was also quite a clue to his identity. The Abbe I guess went along with his avenging angel personae, but I did not care for that. I can't recall the name of his supposed "enemy" the English guy, but he did not have that large of a role. I was surprised how he could switch all the nationalities with not problem of discovery. He must have been a master linguist.
