Random...Lelouch's surname...

[alleona88.livejournal.com]

old name Lelouch vi Brittannia
new name: Lelouch Lamperouge

does anyone know or wonder where he got it? does it have some special meaning or something?

or am I just over-analyzing things...


*edit*...I think I've made everyone dispute against one another just coz I was curious...O.o

but all of your answers are feasible and well, all I can add now is that with the series is still after all, on-going and more info will be coming up soon (from the official site, other sites, etc) which would then finally lead to answer (I just wonder how long that will take) and hopefully no one here will be going "I told you so" like some five-year-old... >_>

The weird thing about "red lamp" is that in ancient Greek spellcasting, red lamps were considered unfit for use in spells and oftentimes recipes would specify to use any color but red. I wonder if that's actually relevant to Lelouch or just a fluke? I don't know why they were avoided so entirely, unfortunately...

In more modern times, red lights are what prostitutes hang outside their windows to let clients know they're there; hence 'red light district'.

Come to think of it, Lelouch's geass eye is red, or at least a reddish color. :D This would totally fit his last name.
