The SONG of Ice and Fire

In the SONG of Ice and Fire, 

Daenerys spelled backwards is Syrenead. Serenade. The counterpart to Arya... aria. These two were the original love triangle interests of Jon. A serenade has a lover singing to his beloved. Meanwhile, an aria is often a solo.

And?

In his original trilogy idea, there was a love triangle with Jon between Arya and Daenerys. Aria is the solo. Serenade is to a lover. Daenerys was the one who would in some sense win Jon. Unless the trope was busted.

Well, we do have Martin on the record saying that now infamous outline was him "making shit up" (sic). We also know this for a fact, because the story we've read so far is obviously going in a different direction. 

Not sure what you mean by the bolded part. Dany is so not Jon's type, just as much as .Jon is so not Dany's type...

Uh, the love triangle was between Tyrion, Jon, and Arya.  Tyrion was supposed to put a baby in Arya's belly and Jon gets jealous about it.  

You are not the first to mention the possible source of Arya's name, as the operatic aria.  She has been a solo operator and may not get the pack that she wants.  I do not believe Daenerys is connected to serenade but I suppose she is somewhat in a loose way similar to the clever Scheherazade of Arabian Nights fame.
