Not to interrupt the arguing, but:
Anyone ever wonder why some character names sound made up while others are normal?
Tyrion, Daenerys, Davos
vs
Jon, Rob, Jaime
I mean, what's up with that?
Sounds like it is short for Harrison Strickland, III.
lol. ok.
but some of those are just traditional by family.
Lannisters - Tyrion, Tywin - other historic ones are Tybolt, Tytos, Tybald, etc. Jamie though well....I think the mom won out there.
Targaryens have a lot of y names and other weird names too - Viserys, Rhaeserys, Aerys, Rhaenys, Aegon, Aemon, Aerian, etc. etc.
Starks - Robb, Rickon and Brandon are all historic names in the family. the girls not so much and Jon as a ******* (they thought) he would not get a cool family name
Basically each family has some naming history - some more normal than others.
Davos - well we don't even know his parents name, just some crabber in Flea Bottom so who knows.
