Fish Swim Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 One name that bugs my socks off, is Marq Piper. You had to put a 'q' in there? Really?Otherwise, to me Shaggydog wins the Best Name Ever cup without competition. The name is so silly, it's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxspecific Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Stannis Baratheon. Stannis sounds angry, rigid, yet strong and with a hint of nobility to it. Baratheon just sounds awesome and badass, and very majestic. Like the name of a mythical beast or something. It fits Robert very well too; Robert as a name sounds strong, popular and heroic. Before he became a drunk king he was sort of heroic.Honourable mention to Rhaegar Targaryen. Royal, just very royal and beautiful name. Roose Bolton is also very good, sounds cool and sinister. Theon Greyjoy is awesome; Theon is such a rare name it seems and it sounds enigmatic and conflicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Besides the Targaryen names, I really like Victarion, Arya, Tyrion, Oberyn. For the amount of names GRRM created, he really came up with a ton of really good names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxspecific Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 And guys saying Jaime was a bad notice, I disagree! Jaime fits a headstrong and adventurous kid and we know Jaime certainly used to be one in his youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Otherwise, to me Shaggydog wins the Best Name Ever cup without competition. The name is so silly, it's brilliant.Yeah, it's a pretty great name. Everytime I read it anywhere I just hear Rickon on the show saying, "Heerre Shaggydog".

Fish Swim Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah, it's a pretty great name. Everytime I read it anywhere I just hear Rickon on the show saying, "Heerre Shaggydog".And it's so wonderfully incongruous. If I heard a child calling for "Shaggydog", I'd think he had a little Yorkshire terrier or something. "Direwolf" is not what would come to mind. (Well, of course it would because I've read the books and seen the show, but if I hadn't. :P)Shaggydog FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Weirwoods Eyes Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 To me Jamie is too modern, and summons up a play boy image. A lot of the names I just love and they work really well. I like Visenya and Alysanne, I like Victarion and Cersei and I like Selyse though I agree it does not go with Baratheon but this is just like all those poor unfortunate women IRL who's married names are dreadful with their first name. Selyse Florrent is a great sounding name and really works with the highgarden florally feel of the region she was from. I love Sansa and Theon and think they could easily take off. I like the Targ names a lot they sound really foreign which is perfect for an invading house. I never read Euron and Urine at all more Yuron and Aenys is always Anais with the S emphasised instead of silent, In fact if any of you have seen the kids show Gumball I pretty much read it as the same as his kid sister. An-I-ees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenedstark Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I love the Essos names: Hizdahr zo Loraq, Reznaq Mo Reznaq, Grazdan, Kraznys Mo Nakloz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samwell Gamgi Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Worst: Asha Greyjoy because its too close to Osha and no one should ever confuse a cool character like Osha with such a worthless bum. Bran, I just think of cerealThe dragon names. So thoughtless and rushed by Dany, just like their character development. Best:Dolorous Edd TullettAll of the Mormonts have perfect names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
