Silverius Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I can't believe nobody has mentioned Drogon, Rheagal, Viserion, Balerion, Meraxes, Silverwing and Vhagar. Not people perhaps but awesome names all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM Baelish Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Two Iron Isles names I like are Dagmer Cleftjaw and Andrik the Unsmiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownboots Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Ah, yes, I must say Meraxes. That's just awesome. Also Salladhor Saan. The "dh" and the "aa" really give it some character. I actually liked Viserys, but I imagine the pronounciation to be "vye-SEER-iss". And of course, you can't beat the Baelish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakiki Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Heh, funny. I pronounce Viserys "vee-sare-eez" with a very, [i]very[/i] slight emphasis on the middle syllable. All those Targ names probably have 897265 pronunciations (est.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCloskey Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Utherydes Wayn because its pretty unique for Westerosi names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvaine Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Daario Naharis - in my country "i" is pronounced like the English "e", "a" like in "ah!", and the result in this name sounds wonderful to me :) Oberyn Martell - the name itself, but also maybe because I adored the old wicked guy ! :)) And Ellaria seems very musical to me also...

Prince Lotor Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Summer, an awesomely-named direwolf, though Ghost is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baratheon_bastard Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 [quote name='Yvaine' post='1722610' date='Mar 17 2009, 13.18']...And Ellaria seems very musical to me also...[/quote] Oh, I forgot about her! Yeah, that is definitely one of the most beautiful female names in the series. Someone also mentioned Dagmer Cleftjaw, I just got to his chapter last night on my first re-read and I had forgotten about him too. He has a pretty badass name. I just remembered another of my absolute favorites, Qorin Halfhand. Apart from being one of the most legendary figures north of the Wall, his name and title are enough to strike fear and wonder in anyone that hears it. I've thought about it, and Tywin Lannister has a very regal and sophisticated name as well, very well-picked for him. I've noticed that Martin really has a thing for hyping up a character and their name by mentioning them just enough times before we ever actually see them. This worked with Tywin, Mance, the Halfhand, and the Red Viper...hopefully it'll work with Howland Reed as well, who also has a pretty sweet first name. Also, kinda off topic, but how does everyone pronounce Jaime? I usually say jay-mee in my head, but I wasn't sure if it was just jaym, or even something else?

somerset Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The timing of this thread is awesome since I was just remarking to my BF about how cool the name Beric Dondarrion is and how I perk up anytime he's mentioned. It's pretty much the best name in the book [u]and[/u] RL, haha. Utherydes Wayn is a close second. Or maybe that's just because of the way Roy Dotrice pronounces it.

Maednerys Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I love all the Targaryen names...anything with an "ae" or an "erys" makes me happy, as you can tell by my display name. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
