Nah, it was my fault for not reading it clearly and giving you the wrong impression.

Personally, I'm not willing to assume about the name one way or the other.

If Greeonio came from Greeonian, that's one mighty unnoted coincidence for Mikulia, real or fake. If it was the opposite, then that's assuming they even knew her surname before marrying the earl.

The Gift novel never has Mayor Julia mention Mikulia's real surname. Perhaps she hid it so she could blend in with Elphegort society as a regular lower class Elphegortean and further distance herself from being an Asmodean whore? Without any story covering the period in more detail, we lack that kind of info.

Likewise, what did they call the flower then before "Greeonian Plateau Rose"? They gave her the name "Flower of the Plateau" and it was apparently a very well recognized flower at the time. I feel there's just too much room there.

I feel it's best to stay silent on whether or not they're connected and let readers make their own interpretations until new evidence or further elaboration from mothy occurs (still crossing fingers for FotP story).
