Was Lord Foul called Lord Foul while on the Council?

The way I hear it... the original name for it was Yam ha'Suf. The Reed (like a stalk) Sea.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

That would of course make him Lord Lord if he ever became one.
Foul may well have been his last name, and Jeroth his first. But, the lords were always called by their first names only while they were alive; the last names were never used until they were dead. Notice nobody called Kevin "Lord Landwaster" until after he died. But Foul never died. He was defeated by Covenant, and some time after that, the name Jeroth surfaced. Therefore, his first name must have been Foul, and his last name was Jeroth. How's that for convoluted logic?

"Landwaster" wasn't a last name, it was a title..along with Urvilesilencer, Giantfriend, Lord-Fatherer. Not sure about Berek's Heartthew tho. That could have possibly been a last name. Or it could have been a title meaning "true of heart".
I don't think the Lords or anyone in the Land besides the Giants had last names. They had titles like Trell "Atarian-Mate" to siginify that they were married. Or Mhoram Variol-son to siginify desecendants.
I still go with the theory that Foul went by Jeroth in the early days.

In my mind the "serious" discussion of this topic ended when the name "Jeroth" was identified as the only alias that has been mentioned in any of the books for Lord Foul. If however SRD steps forward and reveals something new, all bets are off. As to Jepanz...
