Harry didn't make it up, he just maps it to his fire spell because second languages are sufficient mental insulation. He has a line in the flashback in GS where he first comes up with it against the Walker that references it being from Spanish class. The shout at the battle was someone ordering the human mercenaries to start shooting, right before Ebenezar killed them all, and the commander was speaking Spanish because it's Mexico.

I've heard other people say this and I do not buy into it. There was a thread with the times it was mentioned in text and even Harry notices it. Jim is very specific in the way he does things, this sticks out. I believe there was more to it than just Fuego is the Spanish word for fire.
Maybe I'm wrong though :)

I agree, because I remember, though I cannot remember if it was Harry saying it in one of the books, or WOJ, that Harry says he made up the word as a kid after he got decent at the fire spell, that it wasn't really Latin or Spanish, more of a combo with Harry's own slant. Reason being Harry wanted the word for that spell to be unique to him so it couldn't be used against him.

It was also said a couple times its not just the name but in the way you say it. Which is why the phrasing in Changes stands out, because Harry notices it.

So a few possibilities, 1] Time traveling Harry.. Possible, but likely? Doubtful because what would be a reason for it? To save Susan? Possibly, but it failed. To save the Red Court somehow? Maybe if keeping the Fomor at bey was critical to later events.. 2] Justin didn't die and knew that Harry used that word and is screwing with him... Maybe, but unlikely.. 3] Elaine would know he used that word, is very alive and is talented enough to be part of the Grey Council.. So her way of telling Harry that she is still in the fight..

But that's for a name -- the True Name -- of a being.
Not (that I have ever seen) other words and their "correct" pronunciation (q.v. Harry and his Latin).
