Rolex Baratheon Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 George Martin gives his characters really amazing names, not typical fantasy-sounding names. And the names really suit the characters. I think the coolest name yet is Stannis Baratheon. The an sound and then the thee-un sound makes the whole name really profoundly bad-ass and intense.Rhaegar Targaryen sounds simply majestic, Roose Bolton sounds cold and cunning. Both very cool names. And Edric Storm is a cool as hell name, who wouldn't want to be a bastard in the stormlands? xD Daemon Blackfyre is up there as well as is Viserys Targaryen.Khal Pono is NOT cool. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowsKnight Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Always thought Ned Stark's name suited him. Stark for bare/blunt, also the extreme/grim aspects of winter. Ned as the simpler version of Eddard, sounds more modest and down to earth. A name for a terse but honest and likable fellow.Mance Rayder sounds pretty badass.

Éadaoin Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Rhaegar just makes me think of some swoony, emo prince. Actually, that's probably because that's how he came off to me in the books. But Rhaegar itself is a cool name.I like the name Melisandre. Did I spell that right? I think it's beautiful.Love the last names Stark and Targaryen.

Moon-Pale Maiden Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Dolorous Edd. Even though its a nickname technically. Jorah Mormont has a nice flow, as does Ilyrio Mopatis. Lancel Lannister is the nicest Lannister name I think, and Sansa of the Starks. Jojen and Benjen are cool first names. But my absolute favorite has to be Mirri Maz Dur. It just sounds mysterious and dark. Well, and Melisandre is a beautiful name too, but I'm not positive how to pronounce it. Roy Dotrice pronounces it "Melisaand", and I always said "Melisaandra". What's correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fallen Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 ` Lyn Corbray I like. Sounds very dangerous. I also like Rickon Stark. Of course, Yohn Royce. Especially when you add "Bronze". Beric Dondarrion is a mouthful but so different that it's distinct. (redundant?) Greatjon Umber is also bad-ass and fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melonica Stormborn Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The names he gives his characters really suit their personality/story arcs, which is good.As for the best name ever: BERIC DONDARRION!Runner ups:- Stannis Baratheon: Robert/Renly Baratheon doesn't have the same ring to it- Daenerys Targaryen: sounds so other-wordly- Sansa Stark - very sensual- Nissa Nissa - I just like it, I don't really know why - Victarion Greyjoy - what a badass-sounding name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Silence Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 All Greyjoy names are great. I second Jon Snow as just an awesome name. Although I dislike the character, Cersei Lannister is a good name--really unique.GRRM has a great knack for thinking up character names! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
