Reply to: Names from Game of Thrones; suitable for a real person? by maire
I think some are definitely usable! Eddard and Sandor are a big GPs of mine as is Tyrion. I would genuinely use Bran as it's a name in my family tree but I also love the character.(although in the books/series the characters full name is Brandon which I don't like)

One's from you list I like are:
Eddard
Bran
Rickon
Tyrion
Theon
Sandor
Samwell
Jory

Arya (Although I've always pronounced it AH-yuh in my head not like Aria)
Sansa

It's hard to separate the names from the character really, going through your list I was like "Hmm that could be a nice name but eugh I'm not going to name my kid after Janos Slynt!" (same with Tywin and Cersei.)

Others:
Rickard
Balon
Davos
Drogo
Rhaegar
Loras
Petyr
Aeron
Viserys
Gregor
Yoren

Melisandre
Margaery
Doreah
Irri

I've tried to list ones that have been introduced in the TV show but there are so many great names in the entire series.
