I was in Gaia, and I made an avatar cosplay of Cornelia. Then this asshat member claims that her name is "Vi Britannia" and not "Li Britannia", which I typed her name as. Now, I've always read her name as "Li Britannia" and Euphie's the same. Now, though I believe to be correct, I don't want to doubt anymore on the names of the (known) Royal Family members:
1. Emperor Charles Di Britannia
2. Empress Marianne Vi Britannia
3. Schneizel El Britannia
4. Clovis La Britania
5. Cornelia Li Britannia
6. Euphemia Li Britannia
7. Lelouch Vi Britannia
8. Nunnally Vi Britannia
I don't know Odysseus' complete name.
On a more random note, I tend to type Brittania and not Britannia and then change it. Anyone else does that? Or is it just a language rule I missed along the way?? XD

I think most people type Britannia XD

Uhm...I always do that when typing Britannia, but then I feel as if my old Latin teacher is staring down my neck and I know it's wrong. ^-^""

Typing "Britannia" comes more naturally to me. I think it was the Latin name for England or something? *fails at world history*

Also, I'm the asshole on Gaia who took the name "Lelouch Vi Britannia" for a mule account. Oh, the mail I get asking for me to give up that name...XD(no subject)
THAT WAS YOU?!XD Anyways, score! Awesome name snag! (I wanted to do a Lelouch mule, but I think I like my C!Syaoran mule, lovingly dubbed "Cloney-kun", too much to ever abandon him...even if CLAMP will. D:)

Empress? I was under the assumption that she was considered a "Princess" and not truly an Empress? Or have I got it wrong?
Anyway, I'm really curious about the reasons behind the different "Vi" or "Li" prefixes. In French, if one were to say something of a similar sort like "Charles Di Britannia" it would be "Charles De Britannia". Charles of Britannia. Now, my Italian is very, very rough (read as: practically non-existant, but I have knowledge of other Romance languages), but I'd think that "Di" might be the Italian version of "De." If it is, then Charles Di Britannia would make sense, however it doesn't explain the other prefixes.
One wild piece of speculation is that they have something to do with Roman numerals. Perhaps Charles is the 500th or 501st (D + i(I)?) Charles of Britannia? Likewise, Lelouch could be the 6th (V + i(I)?) Lelouch? I have nothing really to back this up, and the middle 'names' could just be a way to represent family ties.
Or, simply, it could be an Engrish attempt at creating royal sounding names?

The only thing I've noticed is that it seems that the middle name changes according to the mother, since that's the case both Euphie and Corny and Lulu and Nunnally. Who knows if Clovis and Schneizel have the same mother.

Foreign language is used a lot in Geass.
The first Emperor of Britannia has the name Ricardo van Britannia. Which, if I use the miniscule Dutch skills I have, means "Ricardo of Britannia."
Nonette Enneagram's name has the word "nine" in it.
"Ennea" is Greek for nine. (the one benefit of having a friend who spoke Greek)
Somehow, I doubt this is coincidental Engrish, considering that two of the more noteworthy Emperors in Geass have a "(blank) of Britannia" name and that Nonette actually has the word "nine" in her name.

who phails in comparison to Schneizel.And, in Spanish and Italian and probably some other European languages, "la" is female. So why is it used on Clovis?
Maybe when he was born they mistook him for a girl?(no subject)
And "La" is a female article in Spanish, and I do hope it's a pun from the creators ♥

I used to spell it "Brittania" because that was what I was most familiar with (and names that ambigious can get weird spellings). Until those headlines with the decent English and "official" spellings of the characters popped up and I'm like, "Oh, it's Britannia!"

DDDDD: WHY CAN'T LJ GIVE THE EDIT FUNCTION TO FREE USERS AS WELL?Also, can you send me a link to that Gaia page? I'd love to see the Cornelia cosplay.

I made a C.C. mule for all my roleplays...though the sad thing is that I spend more time on [CC] than on my original account xDDD

nunnally mentioned that she was the 87th in line, right?
the emperor sure kept himself busy(no subject)
probably enjoying the grand life of doing nothing at all...XD
But if Lulu is the 11th prince for the crown, then they all must be between his age and Nunnally's (unless boys get dibs on all the titlles)
And he probably prides himself of being such a stallion(no subject)

I think Sunrise (mis)spelled it Brittania sometimes too. Even in the last episode when they show Nunnally's name, if I'm not mistaken.

As for those two, I don't think their complete names have been given out. Though, if you know them, do tell so I can add them to the top post :P

Odysseus was U or Uu.
