Forget the twincest – I’m obsessed with how many NAMES George R. R. Martin came up with.

I’m not saying one should actually choose these names for one’s baby. But I can’t deny it, I like how they look on the page. If you like these, there are about 20,000 more names you’ll like in the books.

Wenches

Daenerys (I love an “ae”, don’t you?)

Cersei

Myrcella

Margaery (^^)

Megga

Falyse

Lollys

Alayaya

Ygritte

Ysilla

Irri

 

Brutes

Rennifer (WINNER)

Illyrio

Rhaegar

Arys

Qyburn

Josmyn

Aemon

Aegon

Balon

Euron

Shagga

Sandor

Jojen

Hodor

Renly

Varamyr

Viserys

Tommen (sounds like a wheel of cheese)

Joramun

 

BONUS: I also love his liberal use of the words “craven” and “slaver”, as in to start slavering at the scent of hare roasting on a spit.
