Alayne's Shadow. Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Not sure if I've answered this before... so I'll try to be as honest as possible Probably not. I like the series very much but there are books that were more important in my life. Also I live in Brazil and few names would be suitable to our language. But just for the sake of it, maybe a Dornish name... 'Arianne' exists here. Oberyn would be strange but kind of cool. Other 'ok' names could be Lyanna, Asha, Arya... Maybe Sansa if you stretch it a little bit. But any of those should be a middle/second name. I'm Brazilian as well and I just can picture Little Sansa being called "Sonsa" in school all the time!

Viserys - The last dragon Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I would love to call my son Rhaegar or something- but I do not think my wife would be very pleased.... Naming our son after a fantasy character... And I do believe my son would be pretty upset when he come of age and understand the meaning behind his name as well.

jet199 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I wouldn't give a child a name of a asoiaf character, who isn't dead already, until the end of the series. For all we know a good person at this point could become a mass murderer. I wouldn't want to explain to my kid why they were named after a fictional homicidal maniac because I didn't pay attention and assumed there would be a happy ending.

The_Kingslayer Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 A few of the first names are fine like, Jaime, Jon, Arianne. However I'm gonna give them the middle name Stark as I think its Badass plus I also like Iron man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northbound Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 If I'm ever blessed with children, I will sure try. Especially if I have a girl, because I would really love to name her Arya. I just love her name!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up the meaning a while ago, it's a very old name and means "noble, great or truthful." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kungsmurfen Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I wouldn't mind naming a kid: Myrcella, Shireen, Asha or Roose but so far I don't have a kid to name :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I grew up with a name that is fairly uncommon where I come from (there are like 4 people with my name in the whole country and I'm the youngest by 20 years or so last time I checked) and I never had any trouble with it. I'm still grateful that my mum chose a name that was a bit out of the ordinary. I have met scores off people from around my age named Kevin, Laura, Matthieu and anything that ends with a Y (kenny, vicky, ...). After a while me and my friends just gave them numbers or used their surname to address them. I'd rather stand out than be cursed with such a common name. Would I use an ASOIAF name? Yes, certainly (although I don't think that I'll be lucky enough to meet a wife who would allow it).Cool names for boys: Maron, Brynden, Tywin, Aemond, Aerion/Aeron, Dagon, Victarion, Baelor, Maekar, EdricAnd for girls: Lyanna, Ashara, Daenerys.Other names from fiction that I like from the top of my head: Lara (Dr. Zhivago), Hurin (Children of Hurin), Lalaith (children of Hurin), ...The only things I take into account is how cool the names sound and (when it are larger characters) whether or not I find them interesting to read about.

Srslyjc Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think it would be kind of awkward for their namesake to be a character in series that's definitely adult. Might not want little Arya flipping through the Harrenhal chapters out of curiosity. :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franko99 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Lyanna is a very good name for a baby girl! It doesn't sound extravagant, yet it's unique. There's an actress called Liana.I would love to name my son Victarion, Theon or Maron, and my daughter Asha, if I ever have kids, the problem is that ASoIaF names don't fit with Spanish surnames. Just imagine: Asha... López. No, nonononoSame problem here, I would love to name my daughter Lyanna, Myrcella or Arianne, but they don't fit with my surname (Páez) Although to be honest, they won't be as bad as english names with hispanic surnames like most kids today in my country :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Puff Fish Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I really like Eddison, as in Dolorous Edd's full name. I would seriously consider naming my child that. In the future, I am planning on having a cat called Stannis and a dog called Renly, though not necessarily at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAndFullOfTurnips Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I had been thinking about naming my first daughter Elia, and my first son Bran. When you get cross with your daughter you can yell out "ELIAAAAAA!!!" and pretend you're Oberyn. In the future, I am planning on having a cat called Stannis and a dog called Renly, though not necessarily at the same time. That just doesn't bode well if you get them at the same time.
