I can't help thinking of the name of the printer police "Prestige Elite"…
Well, it's strange anyway for a codename.
It doesn't ring true for me, this need Rachel feels to differentiate herself from her mother. She has already a personality of her own and she doesn't need to make a fuss about her codename or her costume (big spikes, long coat). It's too much, really.
Pretty sure she switched back to Summers some time back. I personally prefer Summers name for her since she used it for pretty much all of her early days into Excalibur. Rachel Grey period has been mostly forgettable to the point that the only notable things that happened were: her family getting killed, her going to space , her coming back from space and a lot of mind control or in a coma.
Can we all agree that Lorna has had the same poor characterization as Rachel over the years and she could use some love from the writers. I get what you are trying to say about "Dane" as the name she grew up with and she prefers even though she is Erik's daughter, depending whether he goes by Erik Magnus Lehnsherr or Max Eisenhardt. I believe Magneto goes by Erik Lehnsherr and I don't think Lorna has ever taken his last name as her own, I may be wrong.
Rachel was born as "Rachel Summers" and she changed her name to "Rachel Grey" because she was ticked at her dad and wanted to honour her mother who had just died in New York. Lorna goes by Dane because she grew up with it, but the Dane's are not her real parents. Rachel wavers between whether she wants to stand with one parent or the other out of her own obstinance and wavers between Summers and Grey.
The name thing is different for the two woman even though there are some similarities there with Daddy and Mommy issues that Rachel and Lorna both have. This is where I give Lorna some extra credit for being messed up, being Magneto's daughter kind of sucks and I can understand her getting a bit of a complex over the years.
Anyway, I just wanted to mention that I like Lorna, but this really is the Rachel thread.
