I think he thinks of himself as 'Hannibal' because it's been his name for 5+ years at this point and also, if I had a name as badass as Hannibal, I would call myself that inside my all the time. And he chose his name, so. (Plus, it's very interesting that he picked that name. It's not a common first name at all.)
That sounds like an amazing AU! (They probably can't, but Hannibal seems a bit fuzzy on the rules of Creole society. He probably thinks they can until Rose enlightens him. They definitely pretend on the boat, though.) Well, obviously. Hannibal has to play in the opera's orchestra to provide the funds for Rose's school and there he meets Ben. Meanwhile, Rose has all those tignons she is never wearing ever again and she is looking for a seamstress who will take them out of her sight for a fair price...
