Royalty Names

[vicks111.livejournal.com]

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

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.

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.
