Hmmm... thinking with a slightly more clear head right now, I have to agree with you. As a real name, Luluko is just horrible. Just thinking about it in an official context makes me go, "Ugh!". I think at the time of my earlier post, I was just more enamoured with the nickname to give it too much though.
But, I'm strongly against Louise. The other suggestions are fine. At least, the ones that start with "L".

As shioran toushin mentioned, Lulu can be used as shorthand for a lot of names. I personally feel that naming a Fem!Lelouch is fine so long as it preserves that nickname and isn't too improbable. For example, while I'd laugh myself silly if a Fem!Lelouch was named Lolly, I'd also consider that a cue to drop the fic.
It is pretty hard if you are trying to find a good name with similar meaning as Lelouch.
But since most people aren't arsed to do that anyways, you could always just give a unnecessarily long name for no reason. There are plenty of those "Lu-" names around, ironically, they mostly have meanings related to purity or light. :lol:

Huh, I think I remember seeing a fact challenge for that. I also remember not really liking it much because there was a bit of an emphasis on a Fem!Lelouch/Naoto pairing and I got the impression that Fem!Lelouch's Zero costume looked like stripper gear. But hey, I could be misremembering a lot of things.
As for using a Latin or Latinized name for Fem!Lelouch, there's a lot of background support for it since a lot of the royal spawn are given either Latin or Latinized names. Cornelia is directly lifted from Latin, I think Euphemia is Latinized Greek, Clovis is Latinized German, Castor and Pollux are Latinized Greek and Carine is also Latin. Odysseus is a bit of an odd man out in that his name is based on the Greek spelling rather than the Latin, but that's probably because Odysseus is a much more popular variation than Ulysses.
That said, using a name like Lucia and then sticking it onto a Fem!Lelouch would be oddly fitting because the Romans were pretty fond of irony and mockery when it came to names. For example, one of the Antonii was named Creticus, meaning 'Of Crete', because he had failed to beat the Cretans but also because Creticus could be translated as 'Man of Chalk'.

You could also go with: [Ones without parenthesis has meanings related to light]
Lucette, Luceienne, Lucille, Lucretia(Wealthy), Ludivine(divine light), Luella (famous warrior), Luminita, Luvinia (purity). Just a short list, there are loads more.
If you include "Lo" names and "Le" names there are even more options for an ironic name.

Come to think of it, Marianne's name is kind of ironic, isn't it? Considering that the national personification of France is named Marianne and represents the values of liberty and equality of the French republic.
In a fanfic, I don't think it would be too unreasonable to write Marianne as being descended from French refugees in Britain that fled to NA when Britain fell to Napoleon. Unless there's canon information about her family's background that I've forgotten or never picked up.

That was Slyfer101.
Not sure why zeebee1 thought it was you.
I remember the fic. Think he made an idea thread then posted 1-2 chapters. They are here on TFF.
Never understood the appeal to it. Wasn't an idea I liked, so I never read past part of the idea thread.

Sappiness and an excess of focus on romance tends to ruin Code Geass stories. Seriously, where is Lelouch even supposed to find the time to run around romancing people in canon when he was stuck doing pretty much everything important for the Black Knights because they were largely devoid of good bureaucrats and couldn't be trusted by him?
I really don't see how either of those factors change in a scenario where Naoto's alive and Fem!Lelouch has even less reason to trust his group because they're probably even less controllable than in canon.

I have to agree, considering that Lelouch is pretty much running the "management" of the Black Knights in canon, it's very unlikely that he'll have time for a relationship.
Then, to counter that, we have plenty of bureaucrats in our world who seem to be able to handle both. Though, they probably trust their subordinates more.
Wish we could have a Code Geass fanfic where Lelouch actually TRUSTS his "allies" and has time for a relationship. I *think* the author "Wing Alpha Zero" has a fic that might fit in here, but there aren't too many more along the same genre.

Summary: What if Lelouch saw his subordinates as precious people rather than faceless pieces on his chess board? A collection of memories centered on the family ties between Lelouch and the Order of the Black Knights.
It's a series of drabbles set throughout both seasons, not in any linear order. Overall, it's short but rather enjoyable. Fulfills the first condition but not the second unfortunately. No relationships beyond fabulous friendship.
Word of warning, the author of this story <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/u/186073/teno_hikari' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>teno_hikari</a> is a massive slash fiend so beware. Memories of Zero is het but most of her other fics feature bumsex in some kind of fashion. Thought I'd let you know in case you decided to check out her other stories and your curiosity took a turn for the bi :snigger:

mmm.. can anyone recommend me a good spiteful Lelouch most specifically Spiteful with Nunnally(in R2) and the rest of the Royals incluiding Suzaku, an 'Ok you believe i'm going to set the world on fire? Now i am really going to Set the World on Fire and permanently make it MY personal bitch' kind of story or Something to counter or sate my sudden case of RAEG after having read the NTR doujin Zero no Mono code2 (yes i did misnamed it and searching trough my files i found it again)?
I don't quite see eye-to-eye on the trust issue. Trusting Zero's goal, trusting his methodology, trusting his decision-making, trusting his results.... You don't have to like a person to work well with them. You can hate a person's guts while trusting them to watch your back in a warzone. Knowledge does not equate with trust. What you refer to is how their emotions overpowered their logic.
There is nothing wrong with what Lelouch does, most problems are due to his underling's inability to do their job or some random curve ball. In a rebel organization, inferior in every way but passion, information is also need-to-know only. I also think he was more hands-on for another reason - bureaucracy is only good if time or quality isn't a pressing issue. I have no doubt he ran the Black Knights as a totalitarian.
The example often cited, the Black Knight's betrayal, was family screwing him over with super paparazzi. To snip that in the bud would require Lelouch giving away his biography & showing up on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Karen's betrayal? Prejudice.
That's why every story I have seen with a reveal, again, in my opinion, doesn't do a good job. They all think the problems can be prevented with Lelouch telling his life story & eliminating his personal privacy. That's the nuclear option.
@shioran toushin: I'm pretty sure any that do exist suck terribly. Code Geass doesn't have enough a following & what little it did is gone. Save the people we never want to talk about.
