Ramsey's line would have no more claim to the stark name Anymore than the Baratheons have claim to the name Targyen or Robb had claim to the name Tully. As soon as Ramsey would marry and bed Arya she would become a Bolton. No, it's nothing unheard of; Quote "I will, ser," said Leobald, and only then raised the matter of Lady Hornwood. Poor thing, with no husband to defend her lands nor son to inherit. His own lady wife was a Hornwood, sister to the late Lord Halys, doubtless they recalled. "An empty hall is a sad one. I had a thought to send my younger son to Lady Donella to foster as her own. Beren is near ten, a likely lad, and her own nephew. He would cheer her, I am certain, and perhaps he would even take the name Hornwood . . ." "If he were named heir?" suggested Maester Luwin. And the name Stark has more prestige, love and respect to it than name Bolton, especially in the North. If Starks went extinct, as it's seemingly the case right now with the male line, taking the name is the best thing they do. Even more so if Sansa returns home at the head of an army with her litter of wolf pups or anyone down her line. Who will people choose then? Bolton brood of the little sister or the Stark brood of the big sister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be seen as low to take claim upon the Stark name over a female relation; the wife of Ramsey would be a Bolton regardless of the house she was born. The Starks would effectively be extinct, if all their males are dead and the females married off and forced to take the surname of their husband. A lot of houses the north can point to a distant grandmother who was daughter of House stark or something like that; it would be unwise for the children of Ramsey to go through this route. 52 minutes ago, Corvo the Crow said: sa returns home at the head of an army with her litter of wolf pups or anyone down her line. Who will people choose then? Bolton brood of the little sister or the Stark brood of the big sister? This again seems unlikely, at this point with Sansa gone for presumably decades, any children of her's would probably be brushed aside as pretenders should they reemerge-they wouldn't even look have sterotypical traits associated with House stark.

If Tallhart born to Hornwood mother can take her "maiden name", so too can Boltons born to a Stark. 5 hours ago, Varysblackfyre321 said: o it isn't.

Not even counting the Dornish. You may dispute with the reasoning these are matrlinieal marriages. Harrold Hardyng's ancestry makes up the majority of the vale plotline.
