Why is Squalls Surname Leonhart

[Galuf]

sure its a cool name and fits with Squall.


but if his father is Laguna LOIRE, and his mother is Raine (who unless they were married, i dont think her surname is given.)

Could be that Edea gave him the surname... or he gave it to himself?


yeah i dunno

yeah i dunno

Raine's surname is Loire as well. Just as her gravestone says.

And Squall's name is Leonhart to fit his theme. That is really all.

[Bubba]

It originally was Loire but Squall, as we all know, is a petulant teenager. He went down to his local council and paid £40 to change it by deed poll. Leonhart is one of those names that sound cool as a sixteen-year-old but when he gets into his thirties he'll just be like "what was I thinking?"

[Elly]

unless the devs give some official background as to why, i believe it's safe to assume that Edea and Cid gave him that name to hide his lineage... it's been forever since i played that far into the game to really remember why they would, but it may have something to do with Ellone...

I think galuf meant to ask what Raine's maiden name was

[Wolf Kanno]

It's either Raine or Ellone's maiden name most likely. That or he just gave it to himself.

[maybee]

I think Squall just gave the surname to himself, because the Balamb staff refuse to address his 'surname' when it becomes a SeeD.

Garden Faculty: "Dincht...Zell Dincht."

Zell: "OHHHHH YEAHHHHHH!!! See ya!!!

[Zell runs off quickly.]

Garden Faculty: "Squall...Squall from Squad B. Please step forward."

[Squall walks off.]

[Shauna]

If my surname was "from Squad B" I'd give myself a new one too.

[Galuf]

Wait.. wouldnt "from squad B" be his first name because they say "Dincht Zell Dincht"??

so weird

well I dunno. Stupid faculty being inconsistent. STOP BEING CONFUSING!

[Saber]

He named himself that cause of the gunblade
