HelpRe: Names from Game of Thrones; suitable for a real person?
in reply to a message by maire
Eddard - Would be called Edward his whole life.
Rickon - I agree, this is a really cool name.
Jorah - I don't think this would work in the real world.
Tyrion - Too strong of an association with the character.
Renly - I think this could possibly work on a real person.
Rodrik - Would have it misspelled as Roderick his whole life.
Of the non-asterisked male names, I think Theon is awesome, and could definitely work on a real person. I would say the same with Joffrey, but like Tyrion, I think the character association is too strong (and also much more negative). Samwell could also possibly work.
Sansa - Gorgeous.
Arya - Definitely could work in today's world, given that there are also plenty of little girls named Aria running around. :-)
I think Daenerys and Cersei are both beautiful, but impractical. (I actually greatly prefer Cersei to Circe, but the character association is also very strong.) Brienne could definitely work today as a great alternative to Brianna. I have met at least two girls named Yara in my life, one of whom was Filipino.
