I was just rereading a chapter of a fic I have missed a huge whack of and the line about Red's name came up Hojo has named me, Red XIII. A name with no meaning whatsoever to me.
An idea came to mind of the posible significance of the name Red is known by. At the start, Red allows AVALANCHE to call him "Red XIII" - a designation that means little to him.
It should also be noted at this point he only agreed to accompany them as far as his hometown.
Later, at Cosmo Canyon, his real name - Nanaki - is revealed and (game mechanics aside) AVALANCHE may start calling him that instead of something Hojo slapped on him.
The passing thought I had was that he truly became a part of the team at Cosmo Canyon - dedicating himself to the greater quest and as a symbol of that takes back his true name - possibly letting AVALANCHE use that name to address him.
