SerHodor Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 One of my favorite parts about the fictional universe created by GRRM is the names. First and last. So I was just wondering, does anyone happen to know anyone in real life with either a first name of a character or the last (or both!)?. I suppose we could exclude a couple of the more common names such as Robert, Jaimie, Robb, and Jon. I knew a guy in the 90s named Wyman. Ironically a rather portley gentleman, I used to work for him during the summer in my teen years doing landscaping. He was overall a very sweet man. Loved watching NASCAR. I went to high school with a young man named Theon. Not much in common with Mr. Greyjoy however. African American fellow. My favorite would be a man I knew back in college.His name was Jerry or Gerard or something, but his last name I specifically remember was Hodor. Portley, short, and half Italian. Used to eat lots of Subway sandwiches in our night class. That's about all I can come up with at the moment. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*ghosti- Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Arya (and the male form Aryan) is a fairly common name in Iran. I've met several Aryas before. Supposedly it is common in India as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanna<3Rhaegar Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I don't think I know anyone with an asoiaf name besides Jon. He spells it John tho. Nothing in common with Mr. Snow. He is short, skinny & bald. Not much to look at but a helluva nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
