sagaz Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 This is one of those cases that involve GRRM being too clever for his own good. Whatever his intentions for how the name is pronounced, he should have realized how Spanish speaking readers would pronounce the name. I mean, does he not live in Sante Fe, New Mexico?Reading this topic and others about the names, I came to the conclusion that if you try to pronounce them in english, with a brain wired in spanish, you are golden. I read the books and the names are exactly as I figured them, according to hbo and Cryptic Weirwood post.Arya like an Aria in opera, with a light "i" (not the straight spanish vowel) "read in english, brain wired in spanish"(english = the english I learned in school, with that BBC news pronunciation, like if you were to have a tea with the queen)And here are some of mine:Aegon — [ˈeɪgən]Aegor —
