[Regis' response is delayed a little as he processes the 'Da' at the end of all that. Her calling him 'dad' had been surprising enough, but explained well by the lingering feelings from the Echo she got off Noctis. This is a version all her own and it warms his heart so much.]
Were I in his shoes, I know that I would feel that way. For the good of our people, we may have to follow certain rules or traditions, but that does not mean we have to like them and do not take joy out of seeing them subverted whenever possible.
You are right, though. Saying your name with that last name does sound slightly off. A woman from Eos might keep her maiden name in a name like that, but I do not know if you would wish to use yours after what you have told me. Perhaps you could pick another from one you are close to? I would offer my own as I would be greatly honored for you to use it, but I do not want to inflict 'Era Lucis Caelum de Fortemps' upon you. It is as unbalanced as your name without anything else seems to be.
