_Disclaimer: I am not asking about speculation on C.C's (or V.V's) real names_

In Code Geass, C.C implies that she abandoned her real name and has since
forgotten it

> Lelouch, do you know why Snow is white? it's because it has forgotten it's
> name

When talking to Lelouch about if she was human she says that if she wanted to
be seen as human she would have **a more human name** , as if she hinting that
her name C.C was something she chose. V.V also shares the same kind of name
but nothing is ever said about it.

in Etrian Odyssey Untold, the AI in charge for firing Gungnir and Ricky's
friend is named Mike however is spelled as M.I.K.E which stands for **M**
emetic **I** nstallation **K** eeper **E** ngine.

So i am wondering, does C.C and V.V stand for anything?

code-geass
What does C.C and V.V stand for?


**There is no information as to a meaning to C.C. or V.V other than to hide
their real names.**

There is some information about the planning stages of Code Geass having C2
name as Cera or Sera but I never saw any official information to back that up
other than random websites.

In regards C2:

Well if you want the reference from the anime alone, I don't think it was ever
revealed, there was a scene where she does say her name involuntarily in her
sleep at episode 11 around 18 minutes of the first season, but the name it
self is never revealed to us and is covered with droplet of water sound
instead.

She whispers her name ![she whispers her

She confirms it was her name ![She confirms it was her

Further in he also calls her name right after saying "I learned something
interesting because of that" in reference of staying/saving her which was not
necessary. And again her name is censored.

Further in she also asks him to call her name again which he does however
again its muted/censored.

So to this point the name is only known to Lelouch!

In regards V2:

On episode 21 of the second season around 5 minutes and 20 seconds Lelouch's
mother tell a set of events of the past along with Charles however V2 name is
again never revealed.

With the release of chapter 40 of the manga "Code Geass: Renya of Darkness",
we now know that these names had no relation to the original names, but
instead followed an alphabetical naming sequence. This is shown when C.C. says
that the successor or "U.U." would be called V.V.

If you can read lips, at some point Lelouch correctly guesses the name of C.C:
