HelpRe: What are your favourite names from fiction?
in reply to a message by guasguendi
It's not one name per say, but in general I think J.R.R. Martin is pretty good at creating names that sound like real genuine names, but still coming from a fantasy world.
Good examples from the book series (I checked the ASOIAF wiki, but there are no many more!):
Bonifer
Edmure
Edric
Beric
Renly
Liomond
Alysanne
Dacey
Helicent
Jennelyn
Mordane
Sansa
Don't hesitate to rate my different PNLs: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/246179
