Coolest names in the ASOIAF universe?


Rolex Baratheon

Recommended Posts

Well i like the name Cortnay Penrose, sounds so English and noble!
Also I like Rhaenys (only first name)
Others that go to my list:
Olenna Tyrell
Ellaria Sand
Sansa Stark
Quentyn Martell
Daario Naharis
All Baratheon brothers
All Tully Brothers
Jon Arryn
I guess there are more, but these are what i can think of right now. As a whole GRRM has done a really amazing job with the names, unlike J.K. Rowling, if I may point out, HP names were hedious :)

I like the titles many of the characters have, because they sound like tey were ripped straight from an actual medieval chronicle:

 

The Knight of Flowers

 

The Smiling Knight

 

Thee Queen of Throns

 

The Rose of Highgarden

 

The Prince of Dragonflies

 

The Realm's Delight

 

The Red Viper

 

The Mountain that Rides

 

The Blackfish

 

The Young Wolf

 

etc. etc.

 

They are the perfect combination of creativity, originality and archetypal

I see, but with so many modern girls being named Courtney I just can't get that out of my head.

 

I perfectly understand words and names  can gain a specific meaning for us depending on how we are introduced to them. I was also rather surprised when I met my first male Lesley.

Ilyn Payne sounds so badass!
Gendry
Jorah
Renly
Nymeria
Melisandre and Marwyn both are so fitting with their characters, have a magical feel about them
Beric Dondarrion and Daario Naharis have a good flow
Too many awesome names

Someone should start a separate thread for best nicknames

I know exactly what you mean! I knew Lesley was also a guys name but it's still weird meeting a guy that is actually named Lesley. I didn't even know Courtney used to be a guys name, so when I read it I was just like...'what?'. Thanks for clarifying, it certainly makes it less jarring  :D
