Nami maybe be so-so in strength, and that's based on what your opinion of "so-so" is, but strength is not all that matters. In One Piece, all of the nine crew mates have an equal amount of screen-time and significance. In Nami's case, do remember that she is intended to be one of the more... "human" of the inhumanly strong characters, along with Usopp, and Chopper and Brook (well, only sometimes for the last two). So of course she would still one of the weaker ones. And don't forget that she's the navigator of the ship: one of the most important roles. As for Robin, I have no clue why you think she's "so-so", but that might just be my biased One Piece fanboy brain.

Mashima apparently had a manga in which he used the name "Shiki", which apparently means "four seasons". He's said somewhere in some interview that he'd like to use "saison", which is French for the word. *shrugs* Not that I care. I'm not a huge fan of Mashima these days.
