Khal Shaggydog Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Not much love for the Dothraki? Maybe because they make things either too simplistic (Drogo), too hard to pronounce when reading (Jhiqui), or they just repeat names with an end: Rheago, Jhago, Rakharo.But the prefix of Khal makes it all better, IMO.Worst names: Barristan, Joffrey, Jaqen.

Khal Shaggydog Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The Ghiscari/Meerenese are just an incredibly unsympathetic group of humans, or planetosians, or whatever. Their names suck, they are confusing, they are a slave-culture...Names from the Vale and from Dorne are generally pretty awesome, and I do agree with a lot of posters that Baratheon is a great surname, along with awesome words. "Hear Me Roar"? stfu. "Ours is the Fury"? Im looking for the fastest way to get the hell out of your way.Annoying caveat - the way Mel says "Baratheon" to Gendry on the TV show. Crappy.

Littlefingers In The Air Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Edmure Tully is a pretty great name.Walder Frey is a pretty stupid name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Ainsley Harriott Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ser Gregor Clegane, The Mountain that Rides and Davos Seaworth are two of my favourites. Both paint such a vivid picture in the mind.As to the worst, I'd agree with the general concensus that the Slaver's Bay names are diabolical.

Luthien Targaryen Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Great:Shaggydog and Nymeria (i love the name Shaggydog...Rickon is cool because of it...seriously...Lady and Summer? Shaggydog rules!)Jon Connington: It sounds ShakespearianTheon Greyjoy: Names do not make one great, fab name, what a douche....Hot Pie: Just because"The Mountain That Rides" Ellaria SandActually i think that the bastards get the best surnames: Sand, Storm, Snow....RiversBoth Davos Seaworth and "The Onion Knight"Brynden "The Blackfish" TullyDaenerys TargaryenSansa: simple but sweet sounding, you could actually name a kid that IRL.Shagwell: Sorry, being British i think he's got a great name, although possibly he missed his calling...I kept wanting him to say something like "my mother named me after my father..." or just the austin powers-esque version "Shagwell's my name, Shagwell my reputation)Terrible:Joffrey....What was she thinking?Walder/Walda: Most of the Freys lack imagination, Roslin and Olyvar being the exception.WyllaDaario: Does his sellsword company also play Vegas? Was he in the Chippendales before he joined the Second Sons or whoever it was?Euron : Sounds like something you'd put on a nasty rash....Quentyn: No wonder the poor kid got fried...no legendary romantic hero was ever called Quentin....Rennifer and Aurane : sound like they should be girlsYgritte: least attractive woman's name ever...or at least since Wylla or Walda.Qorgyle: Exactly how am i supposed to pronounce that?

Castellan Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 the cheesiest names have to be Bronn and Mance Rayder.Seriously the complementary character to Tyrion the "brain" is someone whose name is pronounced "brawn"And a member of the free-folk (eMANCipated people) who is also the leader of those same Wildling Raiders just happens to be named Mance Rayder.GRRM should have just named Jon Snow "Ryan Snow" I would say br + on as on bond but that probably doesn't help if you say bawnd.

Castellan Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Quentyn: No wonder the poor kid got fried...no legendary romantic hero was ever called Quentin.... Walter Scott 'Quentin Durwood' explores the conflict between realism and chivalry according to wiki. I don't know is Quentin got fried too.

Unlady B Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Khal Drogo sounds fine, but Drogo the Dragon??? Come on! Not only sounds like a drug apology, sounds plain stupid. Viseryon is nasty too.Munda, Aemon, Urrion do not send a pretty picture to my mind. Ygritte sounds too french for me, and Daario was ok until some poster made the eau the toilette coment.The ones that rock:Olenna RedwyneDaenerys and all her cool titlesRhaegarAlayne StoneElia (only after the: say her naaame!!)Oberyn "The Red Viper" MartellJon ConningtonCat of the CannalsHizdahr (sounds sexy)Baratheon is an awesome last nameAshara and Arthur Dayneand please, how come no one said the best name ever???HODOR!!!! :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
