Coolest names in the series


Baratheon_bastard

Recommended Posts

Baratheon in itself is a pretty snazzy and powerful last name. Reminds me of the alleged name of King Arthur's father, Pendragon.

Others...

-Mellisandre

-Balerion

-Ser Pounce (OMG-SO-FREAKIN-CUTE)

-Benjen Stark (A perfect uncle name)

-Davos Seaworth

-Targaryen last name in general

-Blackfyre last name in general

-Westerling last name in general (Sounds quite *posh*)

-Lannister and Stark name in general

-Beric Dondarrion

-Emphyria Vance (An obscure name, I know, but thought it was pretty)

-Salladhor Saan

-Syrio Forel

-Vortimer Crane (Another obscure one, but thought it was also cool)

-Hot Pie (Just way too funny)

-Barristan

And there is a buttload more, but don't want to torture people with a longer list. Darn you Martin for your skill at name creating!

Daenerys Stormborn and Targaryen - the last name in general

Arya Stark

Sansa Stark

Daemon Blackfyre

Aemon Battleborn/Aemon Steelsong

Rhaegar - I love saying this name. It actually sounds more like a dragon name than Rhaegal.

Rhaegal

Viserys

Viserion

Drogon

Nymeria

Summer

Greywind

Ghost - all awesome Wolf and animal names

Dick Crab

Gendry

Edric Dayne/Edric Storm

Syrio Forel

Samwell Tarly - it sounds heroic

And probably ten more that have slipped my mind right now.

All of the Stark kids have cool names. I also like Daenerys, Greatjon Umber, Mace Tyrell, Cersei Lannister (if only because it sounds like Circe, which I'm sure was deliberate), Myrcella Baratheon, Beric Dondarrion, Theon Greyjoy, Ramsay Snow (Bolton just doesn't sound the same), pretty much all of the Targaryens, Galbart Glover, Ashara Dayne and a lot of the Martells.

The nicknames are awesome, too:

The Bastard of Winterfell

The Sword of the Morning

The Queen of Thorns

The Young Wolf

The Mountain That Rides

The Red Viper

I always felt targaryen sounded Armenian. Like they rode their dragons in from the caucasus.

Ramsay Snow. An unassuming name for such a villainous character.

Stannis: the name is so fitting for him

Illyrio mopatis

strong belwas

walder rivers

Archibald Yronwood. (a massive bald guy with that name, sounds like a dickens character).

Beric Dondarrion

Oberyn Martell

Victarion Greyjoy

Rickon Stark

Stannis Baratheon

Gregor Clegane

Jorah Mormont

Rhaegar Targaryen

Ashara Dayne

A lot more really, almost all of the names are really cool.

I don't really like the names they use in Essos though, apart from the Dothraki (Rakharo)

Sandor Clegane. Theon Greyjoy. Rhaella. Lyanne. Shireen.

If I'll become mother of a boy, I'll name him Sandor. Or Theon. Shame I't'll be must write in birth certificate "Tijon".

Stannis Baratheon.

Blackfish.

Dondarrion.

Hodor!

Quentyn.

Gendry.

This is my kind of thread, I often wonder how on earth GRRM comes up with such incredible names!!

One of my current favourites is Black Jack Bulwer. Seriously, what a kick ass name! I like Iron Emmett as well. I adore the nicknames that GRRM comes up with more than anything, every time I read the Young Wolf, I wish I'd thought of it myself! I also love the Greatjon, Qarl the Maid, Whoresbane Umber, Robett Glover, Robert Baratheon, Asha Greyjoy and, of course, Robb Stark. It might be short, but it just rolls off the tongue so well! Maybe it's the way Robb is spelt with two Bs, but it looks completely different to Rob. Oberyn Martell is a cracking name, I love "Tully" as a surname.
