What was L's real name? I watched through Death Note once, and I never remember hearing L's name, even after he died.

What was L's real name, or did he never have one (it was never said)?
According to both the Death Note Character list on Wikipedia and the L character page on the Death Note Wikia, his full name is L Lawliet.  He does have several aliases that sound more like real names but L seems to be his actual name.

From the L Wikipedia page:


  Tsugumi Ohba, the writer of the series [...] For L's name, he wanted to use a single letter with a lot of significance; he considered "I" and "J", but eventually chose "L" after careful consideration.


The Wiki page also points out that his name is written in Latin characters as "L"
