What is the meaning behind Re-l's name?


In one episode we see Re-l's name on a computer terminal. However where the
"-" is, we see it's actually supposed to be an "A" as the rest of the letter
is just visible. This means her name may have been supposed to be Real.

I am wondering: if there is some sort of meaning behind Re-l's name having
originally been Real but being recognised as Re-l?




Her name is written in katakana as リル・メイヤ (Riru Meiya), leaves her romanized
name up to interpretation... but it's speculated that there seems to be a some
parallel between the her ID number (124C41+) and the episode title:
リル124C41+/RE-l124c41+ and Re-L as a character. The code is based off of a sci-
fi novel by Hugo Gernsback, titled [_Ralph 124C
41+_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_124C_41%2B). The title in itself, is
a play on words meaning "one to foresee for one another (1 2 4C 4 1 +)".

It's assumed that the significance of her name is based on the protagonist of
the book, who saves the heroine by directing energy at an avalanche, and then
continues to do on about about modern technology and the wonders which
actually proved as successful predictions in regards of the technology we have
today. E.g., solar power, transcontinental air travel, synthetic foods, tape
recorders, etc.

I assume that like most (if not all) of the characters in the series, she's
named after historical figures, philosophers, and/or fictional characters.

There's speculation in the fan community that Re-L may be an imperfect clone
of Monad Proxy and her name is a reflection on that.
