H2O Headcanon #28
The Moon Pool bestows Precognition into those exposed by it.
I don't think it's just a fun literary choice that H2O and Mako Mermaids chose to use this power back to back. On going as far as to say Precognition just manifests in those exposed to the moon pool but is something left behind years later - and maybe even acts up under merfolk-related reasons. I can think of a few examples:
Louise: Whether she lost her tail with age or she & Julia gave it up alongside Gracie and never said it (looking at you, @juicenet!), the fact aside is that Louise honed onto Cleo being a mermaid and for a duration of S1, helped the girls when advice was needed - albeit cryptically.
Lewis: If H2O 2x16 implies anything, while it may not exactly turn out as portrayed, Lewis saw a premonition of Cleo getting exposed in a public place and was able to prevent it.
However, one is not like the other: Louise is a former mermaid and Lewis is a human. But then I realized that Lewis has been exposed to Moon Pool more than anyone else - especially active on a full moon. In theory, in his prolonged time experimenting and studying, he became susceptible to the energies. Think like radiation on a magical scale.
Louise has Precognition because she was automatically affected by the Moon Pool for years and this ability was a last gift - and alerted her to other mermaids.
Lewis has a bout with Precognition due to long term exposure to the Moon Pool.
(And had the writing been better, we'd seen more of it!)

Venom and Name Meanings
Eddie, from Edward -- (middle English) "Guardian of prosperity"
(Guardian or a protector it's right in the name.)
Brock -- (old English, Celtic) "badger"
(Also possibly a complete coincidence but nevertheless amusing, Eddie Brock kinda sounds like Edderkopp, the Norwegian word for "spider.")
Cletus-- (Latin, from Greek) "famous, renowned" (he sure is, lol)
Kasady, from Cassidy -- (Irish) "curly-haired,
Descendent of Caiside"
(According to Wikipedia Caiside a family from the Ulster region of poets, churchmen, scholars and hereditary physicians to the Maguire Kings of Ireland.)
Frances -- (English) French, her middle name Louise -- (French) famous warrior, and her alias from the comics Sandra -- (Italian) Defender of mankind
Barrison kind of sounds like garrison, a fortified place. Also discovered this, sharing without further comment...
Anne -- (French from Latin) "favor, grace"
Dan -- (Anglicized from Greek from Hebrew) "God is my Judge"
Lewis -- (Welsh) "strong, leader"
Dora -- (Latin) "gift of God"
