Spoiler for L's name (NOT, I repeat NOT revealed during the friggin' story:

I'm confused by how L insisted on using the first initial of what turned out to be his real name.

L = ?? <removed by mod>
M = Mello
N = Near

I thought the other two were going to follow the same pattern as L. I did think it strange how we were told what I assumed were their real names straight away during the very first scene with them in, very different from how secretive everything was (and still is!) over L's real name.
