That Demon Monkey Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I dislike names that are obviously an attempt at being a "clever" re-wording of something descriptive about that particular character. Hence my award for worse name goes to Damphair. It always breaks the fourth wall for me when his name pops up. I just sit there thinking "Did you really need to call a guy who worships the Drowned God "Damphair"? "Second place is Lollys. We get it. She is a fatty and fatties eat lollies. It's still lame.

DaveSnow House Stark Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I enjoy the odd Dickon Manwoody and Lolly, but the names in slavers bay drive me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slackylc Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Dickon Manwoody is an awesome name!Exactly. He has the best name in the series.Rhaegar FreyI get angry about this every time I see the name. Weaselly little Frey's don't deserve a good name like that.

That Demon Monkey Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Come on, it takes 6 posts for someone to say Dickon Manwoody?If I have had gotten to Dickon Manwoody yet he would definitely be top 3. You can't keep a straight face and stay immersed in a story reading that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavosSeaworthy Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Essos in general just sucks for names. I read them and I just don't care or become engaged. I get it that you need to establish cultural differences and names are a great way to do that but come on! Why not use some solid Russian names like Sergei or something, not name that has 3 Q's and 7 X's with a bunch of random vowels in the middle.

MarcusLloydAK Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah, I too am not keen on the majority of the names in Slavor's Bay. They're so confusing, and it takes effort to actually remember them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Damphair has always bothered me most. I mean...damp, ffs? Not wet, but damp? Kinda wet hair? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxspecific Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I may dislike Danaerys herself but her name, like all Targ names, are cool. Viserys Targaryen is freaking awesome a name. These two names, Rhaegar Targaryen, Stannis Baratheon, Galbart Glove, Jason Mallister, Garlan Tyrell, Doran Martell, etc etc are so royal and noble sounding and fierce.Then you get (quoting the great Stannis Bamfatheon here) stuff like Hizdahr the velociraptor, the shovel pail and stuff like that from Essos :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
