And Some More

One of the longer chapters, And Some More is a story about names. It begins with Esperanza talking of the thirty names for snow Eskimos use. Lucy and Rachel join the conversation switching from fact to fact and topic to topic. As Esperanza starts thinking about Nenny's name and her name, which a previous chapter discusses her dislike for it, she mentions how clouds have names. Epseranza, Lucy, Rachel and Nenny all begin listing off names they've given for the clouds, names that are people names, and the cloud's cousins too. All the while, Nenny is rattling off random names, Rachel and Esperanza are holding a conversation that begins to heat up. Witty insults and quick comebacks stop long enough for all the girls to realize the whole fight was idiotic.
What was the purpose of Nenny listing off names while Rachel and Esperanza are fighting?
Does the chapter end in a way that seems like they are all friends again?

I think Nenny was naming off random names while they were fighting, was that there was no purpous. I think she was high, dilusional, or going mentally insane. She is completely oblivioius to everything going on. she off anming obscure titles we give to our children to identify their individuality, while they are bickering in a heated discussion about nonsense and malarky
