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... >_>

Wiki says it's his mother's maiden name, but I don't think Lulu is stupid enough to use that name...plus wiki messed up quite a few other things too, so I can't count on that.

Lelouch's supposed to be dead and it'd be a safe guess to think that the Ashfords would have helped spread the word around, as payback for his late mother's support and protection.

Besides, it might have been a few months/years before the new government would have its databases up and running, so his decision to use his mother's maiden name might not have been done right after the invasion. By then, not only would the Emperor have deemed his two (disowned and useless after the invasion) children wasted and of no longer use and put an end to the search. Since he couldn't be used as a political tool anymore - or so it seemed - there was no reason to mobilize soldiers to look for them. As such, Lelouch could have easily adopted 'Lamperouge' right then and the name would have eluded the search efforts, as people are now busy with other things - like spoiling the shreds of a conquered land.
