Other Code Geass Names..

If Lelouch means, clever, crafty, and shady, it suits him really well. Though he has a good heart, I can't help but notice that Lulu's a little arrogant and sometimes over confident as well. ; ) But what about the origins of other characters' names such as Nunnally, Kallen, and Rolo? I've never heard of them anywhere else as well...

I read that it was 'squint'.

But that was on google translate, which isn't all that reliable, so...

All of you are right : There is the verb : "loucher", the adjective : "louche" and the object :"une louche"
loucher = to squint. Je louche = I am cross-eyed.
louche(adj) = shady, suspicious. Il est louche = He is suspicious.
louche(object) = a ladle. Où est la louche ? = Where is the laddle ?

In specific examples there can be all written the same way so it's not surprising you are confused.
It seems obvious Lelouch was named after the french movie director Claude Lelouch, Lelouch being a family name which means someone in the family seemed suspricious, as wabisuke said there are no one named after a laddle XD

Now that I think about it : it's not "I am cross-eyed" but "I am crossing my eyes", sorry.
