Best Named Sword


Guillotine

Recommended Posts

Most of the swords have dumb names, IMO. Might be pacifistic GRRM raising the middle finger to a celebration of weapons and violence. Seems like any sword with any connection to the Lannisters is especially lame. Brightroar, Lion's Tooth, Oathkeeper, Widow's Wail, all are pretentious.



Dawn is the only really cool sword name.

All Lannister named swords are lame, Agreed.



Yo, Starks, Let's kick it!



Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby


All right stop, Collaborate and listen


Ice is back after a Lannister division


Someone grabs a hold of me tightly


Flow like a King daily and nightly


Will it ever stop? Yo – I don't know


Turn off the lights do I glow


To the extreme behind The Wall like an Andal


Winter has come so you best light a candle.

What's wrong with,

Red Rain

Blackfyre

Dark Sister

Ice

Longlcaw

Needle

Heartsbane

Red Rain is hokey. Blackfyre (except for the spelling) and Dark Sister are OK, not great. Ice is cool for the original, not so much for the Valyrian greatsword Ned carries. Needle is clever, since Arya hates actual needlework. Longclaw is silly and Heartsbane is pretentious.

This is an opinion poll. Those are my opinions. I'm not particularly concerned whether or not anyone agrees with them.

Needle: Laugh out loud cleverness on that one.



Dark Sister: My favorite. Foreboding and feminine at the same time.



I also liked Widow's Wail. Pretty clever on that one as well.



Forget sword names, though. I've always loved the ship names GRRM has come up with throughout the books. Through ADWD, I used to go back just to reread the names. New thread idea!

HAHAHA. Am I ridiculous for reading this and hearing "Vanilla Ice" rapping this to the music? Mayhaps.

But I digress. Ice, Needle.. I have to admit I *can not stand* Lyn Corbray, but I do like the name Lady Forlorn. And Dark Sister.

Personally I loved Widow's Wail it just made me laugh so hard when I read it, it was a perfect choice for Joffery as he would never be closer enough to the battle to kill anyone. It was just such a crap name it really suited him all text no trousers.

Yes! Such a good name for the sword of that vicious little dweeb.
