SkaggCannibal Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I think he was focusing on families with POV characters, which is why he left off the Tyrells and the Arryns. Greyjoys have the 2nd most number of POV characters, all of whom are still alive, but they don't have as many as some of the smaller families. Yeah but Cat is a Tully too. Why would he be Jon Waters? He's never been to KL in his life. He was born in Dorne and brought up in the North so Snow is perfectly fine if he's not legitimate. Anyway, I hope that we get some fistpump moments for Theon in the next book. He's sorely in need of it. The scenario of the OP is a little cartoonish as others have noted. Because Rhaegar is his father and he's from the Crownlands, hence the name of his father's region. But he can keep Snow if he wants, just correcting anyone calling him Jon Targaryen.

Bastards take their name from the region they grow up in, not the region their father was born in. Hence Mya Stone. You can "correct" people saying Jon Targaryen all you want. Enjoy fighting that losing battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkaggCannibal Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 All right I gues I was wrong. Still gonna keep up the fight against Jon Targaryen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Because Rhaegar is his father and he's from the Crownlands, hence the name of his father's region.

So if Jon Stark Targaryen was a bastard he would be Jon Sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victarion Chainbreaker Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Where was Jon born again? The Tower of Joy, which was in Dorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blutraven Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Tower of Joy it lay in the Prince's Pass in Dorne. Then why is he called Jon Snow. The bastard name comes from where they're raised, not born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Then why is he called Jon Snow. The bastard name comes from where they're raised, not born. Maybe, I don't know, because he has to hide his identity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victarion Chainbreaker Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 From the wiki: As the surname is applied depending on the region where the bastard is raised, bastards who are half-siblings may have different surnames. For example, Robert Baratheon's eldest bastard, born in the Vale, is called Mya Stone while his bastard from the Stormlands is called Edric Storm. http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Bastard_Names#Surnames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
