On their first encounter on a timeline that was later reset, Emilia told
Subaru her name was Satella. We then found out, after the first (or second?)
reset, that that is the name of the Jealous Witch, and something of an insult
to call someone else — Emilia reacted badly when Subaru called her out by that
name after a reset and they hadn't yet met.

So why did Emilia tell Subaru that was her name that first time?

Why did Emilia give Subaru a fake name on the first time they met?


At about 11:00 in Episode 8.

As it was revealed in the princess selection episode, everyone in the palace
and town already treat her wrong for her resemblance to Satella. Emilia seems
to have not believed how clueless Subaru was, so she faked the name and winced
after she said it thinking his reaction would be negative. At this point Puck
looked at Emilia with disbelief and told her that she has poor taste as in
attempting to gauge him. This shows Emilia was perceptive of the fact Subaru
was not understanding of her country: Satella as the witch must be common
knowledge to the citizens.

The question then is why she never told Subaru she lied, and I don't know that
answer since he died and had to restart. I just looked at the episode again
and when she revealed to Subaru that she was half elf he had no reaction,
which caused her and Puck to have an adverse reaction, since most people would
have at least began to connect the dots.

Oh wait I am going to answer my own question she was prepared to tell him her
real name if he had survived going in the loot house, which obviously he
didn't: case closed.

I think either Emilia has some relation to Satella or puck definitely has some
past with Satella ( ofcourse who am i kidding... I mean puck is her mother).
You might remember in episode one puck asked Emilia reason for introducing
herself as Satella and later commented that she really have terrible taste.

As Satella name's connection is a secret to only Emilia and puck so It reveals
her liking towards Subaru as she presented herself as the one everyone hated
but in reality it is something which is very close to her. Also as Subaru was
new to town her consciousness might have mixed up with the things she love
when she saw Subaru.

And after resurrection when she got mad at Subaru fit calling her Satella it
was normal reaction which she would give to anybody to fit in with people.

And the explanation for Emilia getting angry at Satella name might be that she
doesn't get angry on people calling her witch Satella but the expression
people make on her while saying that makes her sad.

P.S.- I don't know if I am able to convey this to you guys. And I might be
right or totally wrong. A 70-30 chance......
