Ok so when riot released Tahm Kench like many others I realized he had two names. This led me to wonder why other champions don't after much thought I have an answer for each and every champion ... yes I have too much free time ... yes I know I should spend it climbing elo.

Moving on first is Aatrox he's easy Darkin's don't have last names. Ahri she's a fox in more ways then one, so no need for more then a first name. Akali Shen Kennen Zed are all ninjas and any good ninja doesn't need to share a last name. Naruto doesn't count for reasons. Alistar His last name is tribe's name. Amumu actually has two reasons why he doesn't have one. one he probably forgot it, and two he's a yordle; I'll explain more later.

All the freljord champions Anivia Ashe Braum Lissandra Gragas Nunu Olaf Sejuani Trundle Tryndamere Volibear are known by their tribes and by there ancestry so no last names required.

Annie her parents don't believe in that stuff ... I mean there parenting style leaves a lot to be desired. Azir Sivir So actually in shurima the custom is to show relation by sharing the last syllable, so if sivir has kids their names will end in ir. BardSoraka MYSTICAL BEINGS HAVE NO USE FOR NAMES. Blitzcrank Galio Orianna are all robots so no last names yes I know ori does but it's creepy so i'm going to ignore it.Brand FiddlesticksNocturne i'm going to file them under demon and move on. Caitlyn doesn't like using her family name she got where she is on her own.

Cassiopeia Katarina JarvanIV Fiora Garen Lux Sona all have proud last names that carry weight and they use it. Vayne Leblanc Swain fun fact we call them by their last names.

Chogath Velkoz KogMaw Khazix RekSai THE VOID HAS NO USE FOR LAST NAMES.

Ok so all the yordles Corki Gnar Heimerdinger Lulu Poppy Rumble Teemo Tristana Ziggs don't have last names because they don't need ones in bandle city. it isn't their customVeigar putting him by himself to prove that in bandle city everyone is family or else bad things happen.

Darius Draven are brothers and orphans. Diana Pantheon Leona their tribe doesn't believe in last names. DrMundo Mundo forgot mundo's name if you have problem with that cleaver. Ekko not on good terms with his parents.

Elise Evelynn Hecarim Kalista Karthus Mordekaiser Thresh Yorick THERE ARE NO LAST NAMES IN DEATH. yes yorick has one but it literally means death.

Ezreal explorers don't need last names. Fizz MonkeyKing Rammus Nami Malphite Maokai TwitchZyra Skarner plants animals and minerals do not require last names.

Gangplank MissFortune those are their pirate names like blackbeard. Graves he doesn't need much more then graves does he.

Irelia Karma LeeSin MasterYi VarusXinZhao they kinda don't use them you are known by your style not your family Yasuo doesn't feel worthy of it.

Janna orphan. Jax mystery Jayce heroes only need oneJinx probably to crazy to rememberKassadin he's probably shurimain so din. Kayle Morgana sisters none given. Lucian he lost the only person he wanted to share that name with. He needs only vengeance now. Malzahar let's go with har. Nasus Renekton chose new names when the ascended.Nautilus forgot it. doesn't need it. Nidalee jaguar since she was raised by them. Quinn doesn't need a fancy last name to be awesome. Rengar to be fair we are lucky to know his first name plus all the greats go by only one name.Riven names don't matter to someone in exile or to the noxian military. Ryze frankly he's so broken a last name would be op. Shaco ... I feel like I should call him a demon but like the joker you only really need one name.Shyvana dragons don't have last names.

Singed family is famous but he could care less about them.Sion Urgot when you defy death ... or die that many times you don't need a last name. Syndra semi all powerful being really doesn't have time for a last name.Talon orphan ... wow LOL has a lot of those Vi. Taric so fabulous he only needs one.TwistedFate that's not even his real name.

Udyr spirit shamans need only one name.Viktor same goes for villians.Vladimir it's actually Dracul.Warwick lost his right to one. Xerath rathZac ZAC is an acronym anymore would be greedy. Zilean gave it up as atonement.

Formatting is your friend. :x

This would be much less painful to read if you gave each champion a separate line, not just piled them into a single miles-long paragraph.

I'm gonna stop you for a second and spend the time to tell you all the last names we know about in League:

Annie Annie Hastur Brand The human body's name was Kegan Rhode Cassiopeia Cassiopeia Du Couteau Fiora Fiora Laurent Garen Garen Crownguard Graves Malcolm Graves Heimerdinger Cecil B. Heimerdinger JarvanIV Jarvan Lightshield the Fourth Katarina Katarina Du Couteau Leblanc Emelia/Evaine/Whatever she goes by now LeBlanc Lux Luxanna Crownguard MissFortune Sarah Fortune Orianna Orianna Revick (both robot Ori and living Ori have this name) Sona Sona Bouvelle Swain Jericho Swain (Insert Tahm's face here) Tahm Kench Vayne Shauna Vayne Yorick Yorick Mori

Just because we only know champions by their first names doesn't mean they don't have any others, I mean we went for four years of just calling Heimerdinger by that without knowing his first name, or the fact he had a middle name.

I think the reason for Tahm Kench having his last name in his champion name might be more because of his business attitude. If he was told to introduce himself,he'd probably give his full name as a means to built up a bond of trust to the other person. alternatively Kench might not be his last name,but a middle name making Tahm kench his full first name.

Also the names of Jinx Leblanc and Vi aren't their real names. Vi doesn't remember her real name anymore,Leblanc is a codename and Jinx most likely changed her name for one reason or another.

DrMundo Mundo forgot mundo's name if you have problem with that cleaver. Ekko not on good terms with his parents. Shyvana dragons don't have last names.

Edmundo its called Mundo for short, i guess that he has a last name and he remembers, but do not need to use it.

And Excuse me, but my last name is Dragonterror, Ebonmaw Dragonterror. And Shyvana must have the last name of her mother... the human woman.
