I don't think he was thinking anything as it was probably taken from some real world place and name changed a bit. He has Cymmeri, likely taken from Conan the Barbarian who was Cimmerian since as I recall he loved reading comics. Cimmeria was taken straight out of real world historical people Cimmerians, Cimmeria, an ancient name of Crimea. Bosporan Kingdom - Wikipedia Cimmerians - Wikipedia He has Hyrkooni, he likely took it from Red Sonja who was from Hyrkania, Hyrkania is again a real world place. This one is even more evident that Kayakayanaya with it's female warriors being part of Hyrkooni Patrimony. Hyrcania - Wikipedia Inspiration is so much so just as Hyrkania of the real world(again mountain range as in the book Hyrkoon) has the Caspian Sea to it's north, Hyrkoon has to it's east anotjer inland sea, though this one is all dried up.

Phylum of Alexandria Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Well, at least he toned down the names since his first novel. There's nothing on the level of "Jaantony Riv Wolf high-Ironjade Vikary." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked up what he was thinking when he named Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun after Phill Simms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Claude Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Since this is relevant to the topic, I think the laziest naming that GRRM ever did was take the two most well known and mysterious Masters of Whispers and give them names which are just one letter away from each other.

Aebram Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Here's a monster from real-life Massachusetts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Chaubunagungamaug But you did ask about the "worst," not the "longest." So I think I have to vote for "Shitmouth." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the DOS system that GRRM uses famously doesn’t have an autocorrect function. So no, that was definitely not a typing error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
