Reiner - Ryder and Lance

Choosing names for our children was a very challenging task. I learnt from Ryder’s case that our child needed two names. One that would be kept a secret and known only to his parents and grandparents and another name that he would use in public. That was when I realized that Reiner’s name isn’t really Knight. It had never dawned on me before that Reiner’s name wasn’t Knight.

I never got around to adopting that name for him and had stuck to calling him Reiner or R. Of course, he never minded, and I thought that it was cute and special for me to be the only one that called him this way. However, it completely slipped my mind that Reiner probably had another name that I knew nothing about. He never mentioned it to me at all.

Never mind Ryder’s real name, choosing his public name turned out to be a very political thing. There were many requirements involved that were imposed by King. The name also had to be unique and never used by any agent preceding him. We had many options nominated
