Names in the series

[vyshan]

Hello,

I have had a slight interest in the names of the series. More over, recently while preparing for a Pen and Paper rpg set in westeros, the issue of naming came up since I wasn't sure of what names were common or used in the different regions. Thus I made this list. this list doesn't provide what the names mean or what they are derived from just the different name. I have ranked them by commonality. Perhaps others will find this useful. So to start we shall start with Dorne. I have avoided the names of people whom are clearly stated not to be from Dorne, such as Areo Hotah who is from Novros.

Try to count the Brandons of the North :D

[vyshan]

Try to count the Brandons of the North :D

There are like 14 Brandons in the stark family alone. It is a super common name. Also unlike dorne, the reach or the stormlands, the North tends to either reuses names or use different variations of them. Also just like Dorne there was someone named Lucifer. :P

[Valyrian Fork]

This is an awesome, awesome thread. Good job, mate.

[Valyrian Fork]

Is it just me, or do the North and the non-Rhoynar Dornish (aka First Men Dornish) have the most modern spellings of all the names that are English variants? Obviously "Brandon" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the North, but the Dornish have Arthur which is doubly unusual because neither of those vowel sounds are usually rendered that way in "Westerosi orthography", Archibald (ditto), and freaking Benedict which is like a quintuple-whammy of unusual spelling, and the only Jayne in the series. Plus it seems like a higher percentage of their names that are more or less standard Westerosi orthography (Gerold, Franklyn Andrey) are just transliteration of modern English names, as opposed to variants like Rickard, Ryger, Barbrey, Barba, Benjen, etc.

*Viserys plumm was the son of Elaena Targaryen, and more likely named by her yet I counted him because he was part of house plumm and from the westerlands.

The Riverlands. Well this was a lot of Names. Damn those freys and their big family. Also I must admit it funny that there are 3 tullys from the Muppets, ie elmo, Grover, and Kermit. and there is yet another Lucifer mentioned. apparently Lucifier is more common then I thought.
