#especially regarding es name
What if “The Little Snicket Lad” was made up by Jacques and Kit when they were children to explain the story of their recruitment to little Lemony?
This would explain why the song does not name E. Snicket. Because Jacques and Kit may not have known their mother’s name. Only her initial.
It would also explain the mentions of Robber Road and the cattle farm despite Robber Road being on the other side of the county, and Lemony actually being born on a dairy farm. Jacques and Kit were just mentioning a random street name they remembered from their early childhood. And when Lemony was born, they wouldn’t have known the difference between a cattle farm and a dairy farm. They just saw the cows.
It would also explain the mentions of silk diapers and a silver crib. This would have been Jacques and Kit either teasing Lemony, or embellishing their memories of their early childhood with their parents to their little brother, who had none.
