L's first name

May 17, 2008 11:34

Hey everyone.

I'm new to Death Note and was wondering if L has a christian/given name?

I know his surname Lawliet, but what does L stand for? Because N, is truncated for Near so I'm hoping it would be similar for L.

Any help greatly appreciated. :D

Um... I'm pretty sure it's just L. But I could be wrong.
There was a joke a while back that his parents must have been hippies or something to just name their kid one letter. XD

I think you're right snowmomiji May 17 2008, 01:49:37 UTC

I think you're right.
I was surfing the web but couldn't find anything. Apparently the creators of the L looked in the dictionary for adjectives that could described L and found listless et al.

GOD I love Death Note. :D

Them again, maybe it's really Elle Lawliet. *hahahahahah*
And L switched it from a girlie Elle to "L"

OR.... *going futher out on limb*... He couldn't remember his first name because he was just a child when he became an orphan with no family? and he just that it started with "L"?

I believe this should be under a cut because it's spoiler, isn't it?

Ah.. ok snowmomiji May 17 2008, 01:50:41 UTC

Oh ok.
Sorry I'm new to LJ too so don't know all the rules. I will put it under a cut straight away.
Thanks for the heads up. :D

But it's not actually a spoiler. It's not in the anime or manga anywhere. You only find out on the foil card that comes with 13.

sadisticupid May 17 2008, 11:34:20 UTC

I did not know it. I was waiting for 13, therefore I consider it is a spoiler.

Thanks snowmomiji May 17 2008, 01:56:20 UTC

Um....yeah thanks.

As I said, I'm new to Death Note...and I am doing research for a story I am writing on FF. I'd rather know all I can about a character before I write about them. :D

As I stated, it could have been the same as N, for Near.

Ignore the above comment. It's obviously just a troll.

Re: Thanks snowmomiji May 17 2008, 01:58:55 UTC

LOL.

Thanks. I'm new to LJ as well so it's kinda of a shock to read stuff like that.

Oh well. :D It's helping me develop an even thicker skin!

:D Howdy snowmomiji May 17 2008, 02:10:15 UTC

Oh. :D

Yeah I knew all of that. I've just finished the anime yesterday and I'm moving onto the manga now, then I'll move onto the novel. I thought the comics and novel may have revealed more info.

For me, the day I think I know everything will be the day I stop learning. So...I don't feel too bad about asking questions it helps me learn more. Too much info is better than too little.

Thanks for the info.

Have a great weekend.
