Why was the subway line named in such a way?

Wuhan opens three metro lines in one day

Basically, subway lines in Mainland China are named as the numbers like Shanghai Metro Line 1. But, newly opened Yangluo Line seems to violate this rule. I don't know why the name was allowed.
By this inauguration, Wuhan became the first city that has 7 metro lines in China's provinces without sea shore.
