Is "Remus Lupin" His Real Name?

So, okay, "Lupin" is derived from the latin word for wolf, lupus.
And "Remus" brings to mind the legend of Romulus and Remus, who were brought
up by a she-wolf.
But, is not lupin also a flower? Yes it is (just watch the MP Flying Circus
episode where gentleman/robber Dennis Moore steals lupins from the rich and
hand to the poor).
And what is Remus other than "summer" spelt backwards and missing a not so
important m?
Therefore, the PoA DADA professor's name does not always mean "Werewolf" but
sometimes "summer flower". Which, IMHO, describes his personality rather
well: most of the time being a calm, friendly man, like a summer flower, and
sometimes a ferocious killer werewolf. Perhaps mum and dad Lupin first
thought of the flower meaning of the name, and never considered the
possibility of him becoming a werewolf.
Which (if this even by my standards far-fetched theory holds) would put him
in the ever-growing family of florists in Potterverse: Lily, Petunia,
Sprout, Narcissa... meet Lupin! And head of the family, the creature who
makes all flowers come to life, the bumblebee, aka Dumbledore.

10 o'clock in the morning, and I'm already this tired... well, it's good to
be back!
