The cool and not so cool names from the book saga by George R. R. Martin! Both male and female, list in progress! PS: I'm trying to make it as complete as possible, so it's gonna take some time!
  1. Aeron
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      Aeron was possibly a minor Celtic god of war, and is definitely a river in modern-day Wales.
  2. Alys
    • Description:

      Alys is a feminine name that serves as a medieval variation of Alice. Derived from the Old Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning 'noble type' or 'of noble kind,' it traveled through Old French before becoming established in English language traditions. This particular spelling was common in medieval Wales and England before standardized spelling emerged. Alys has a classic, literary quality while offering a slightly distinctive alternative to the more common Alice. The name experienced modest revival interest in the late 20th century among parents seeking traditional names with unique spellings. With its simple elegance and historical depth, Alys bridges ancient origins with contemporary appeal, maintaining the noble associations of its etymological roots.
  3. Alysanne
    • Description:

      Alysanne is a feminine name with medieval roots that combines elements of Alice and Anne, both classical names with royal associations. With its ethereal, lyrical quality, Alysanne gained contemporary recognition through George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, where it belonged to a beloved queen. The name carries an elegant, fantasy-inspired feel while maintaining connections to traditional naming patterns. Alysanne likely derives from Germanic origins, with components meaning "noble" and "grace." Though rare in everyday use, it appeals to parents seeking a name with a romantic, literary quality that stands apart from more common alternatives. Its melodic sound and noble associations give it a timeless appeal despite its relative obscurity in mainstream naming trends.

The name's rarity offers the advantage of uniqueness while remaining straightforward to spell and pronounce, making it an understated yet distinctive choice for girls.
