rivergirl Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Today i found out that a friends cousin called her baby Daenerys ... please don't do that. It's a pretty name, but not one i'd like to answer to at school. Some are nice though, i guess the more "normal" ones where i'm from. I like Elia, Brandon and Roslin for example. I guess ones that wouldn't make most peoples minds immediately jump to a character :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkilak Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 While I wouldn't, personally, I hope that some parents out there have the foresight to give their child a "normal" middle name if they're going to use a fictional first name. But given that they're naming their children namely because of a current trend in popular culture, I doubt this foresight exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanF Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I sometimes called my pet dog Reek, because he was rather smelly.The names Daenerys, Cersei, Tyrion, Tywin, Aerys sound Welsh to me. I wonder if they are real names in that language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Puff Fish Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The names Daenerys, Cersei, Tyrion, Tywin, Aerys sound Welsh to me. I wonder if they are real names in that language. Nerys is a Welsh name, I know that, and so is Aeron. I'm not sure about the others though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newboy Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Having read these my mind is made up. Forget the kids, I'm getting two dogs: Gregor and Sandor. I have a wolf named Ned. He's always fighting with my lion, Tywin. Don't even ask what's going on with my aquarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Ned never striked me as a good name before the series, but seeing it applied to a person that commands respect instead of your run of the mill hippy/hobo. Only if you had a short second name, though. Barristan you could pull off if it was shortened to Barry oft, and you looked English or something. Sandor could be a great name, potentially. San, Sanny, Sandy, Sando, any variation thereof could potentially acquire an appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
