From Game of Thrones

Essentially the Westerosi version of Thomas, Tommen was the name of the third Baratheon king in HBO's Game of Thrones. Though he met a gruesome end that was tragic even by the dark standards of the smash series, his name is friendly and familiar enough that it might find some use among fans of the show.

Rickon and Dickon are two names from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series we feel pretty confident will not take off. This one is most closely associated with Rickon Stark, the youngest and less articulate of the Stark siblings.

There aren't many characters in the notoriously amoral world of Game of Thrones with a spotless record of moral righteousness -- but Brienne of Tarth comes close. She's one of the most accomplished, ferocious fighters in the entire series -- she was one of the few people ever to best The Hound in one and one combat. And yet she always tries to use her power for good.

The version of Rob used in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books and HBO's Game of Thrones.

The Westerosi equivalent of Benjamin -- meaning it's a "Game of Thrones" name, for non-fans -- is most prominently borne in George R.R. Martin's novels by Benjen Stark, younger brother of Eddard Stark and a member of the Night's Watch.

Of all the Game of Thrones creations this is surely the most delicate and the most wearable. Margaery, (pronounced like the Scottish name Marjorie) is a beautiful, powerful and intelligent character who becomes queen.

Martell is a masculine name that originated as a surname, derived from the French word 'martel,' meaning 'hammer.' The name gained historical significance through Charles Martel, the 8th-century Frankish military leader whose surname referred to his fighting prowess ('The Hammer'). As a given name, Martell emerged primarily in the United States during the 20th century, offering a strong, distinctive alternative to more common names like Martin. It carries connotations of strength and determination, enhanced by its percussive sound. In recent years, the name gained additional recognition through its use in George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series for House Martell. Though uncommon, it provides a masculine option with historical depth and contemporary appeal.

George R.R. Martin named lovable Game of Thrones character Samwell Tarly, Jon Snow's closest friend in the Night's Watch, after Samwise Gamgee, Frodo's companion in The Lord of the Rings. Both characters are earthy, kind and rotund.

In Game of Thrones, Jaqen H'ghar is the name used by the Faceless Man who trains Arya in the lethal ways of the House of Black and White. The character is endlessly mysterious, but Jaqen seems not to be his given name. Still, with the myriad offshots of Jackson -- Jaxon, Jaxsen, et al -- soaring in popularity, Jaqen may have some potential on this side of the screen and page.

This spelling of Caitlin is closely associated with Game of Thrones matriarch Catelyn Stark, whose name is pronounced CAT-lin on the show.

While the Cailin spelling doesn't appear on popularity charts, other forms such as Kaylin and Kaylen do, along with several similar names, from Caitlin to Jalen to Kayla. The result: a name that feels more common than it actually is.
