If you had an infinite number of gurms and an infinite number of typewriters do you think book 6 would ever get finished?

pentyne posted:It's not that they don't know her name, No, it is that they don't know her name. She's almost never referred to as Dany or Daenerys in the show, everyone addresses her as Khaleesi. Without the inner monologue of the books where she thinks of herself as Dany, these people legitimately think her name is Khaleesi. I find it more disturbing the ones who name their kid Daenerys, because they know enough to know her actual name yet still named their kid after her.

Only the narrator refers to her as Dany.

As it turns out, there is one instance of a character calling her Dany: Viserys, right before he is killed and is pleading to her for his life. A Game of Thrones posted:At the last, Viserys looked at her. "Sister, please... Dany, tell them... make them... sweet sister..." I think that's the only instance, though.

Well, regardless of whomever is calling her that, the point was the book says it a bunch. The show, eh, not so much, and is pretty bad about naming most of the cast, hence the awesome "my dad" thing upthread a bit. LORD WEASEL

And now 146 American baby girls are essentially named "Wife of a Horse Lord." Thanks, HBO. Mayhaps one of them will become a global pop sensation one day (Khaleesi Spears). Or a supreme court justice (Khaleesi Day O'Connor). Or mayhaps not.

^^^ Maybe if the name REALLY takes off, there will be so many women named Daenerys that it will become an Old Lady Name. Like "Agnes" and "Edith" today, and what "Jennifer" is destined for.Joramun posted:She never thinks of herself as Dany in the books, nor do any of the other characters ever refer to her as such (only Daenerys, Khaleesi, Your Radiance, Your Grace, etc.).

A hero's quest that begins with incest and barbarian rape, and ends with spraying of many gallons of dook. This... THIS is what I'll name my daughter after. (Now imagine if in the books Dany goes all Hitler and becomes the most deplorable series villain and then dies making GBS threads her guts out. Way to go on naming your kid, worst parents.)

I named my son Urza Planeswalker Thibodeau, after the heroic figure from the Magic: the Gathering universe! Of course, Urza's backstory contains his younger brother, Mishra, who was born one year less a day after Urza, setting up a perpetual cycle of inadequacy and jealousy, so the wife and I figured out the date and worked our hardest to get her knocked up! Well, at about 18 weeks in, Mishra went to join that great Phyrexian gear system in the sky. Now my entire worlds-destroying conflict is down the drain, too.

The only acceptable Gurm name to give to your newborn (boy or girl, it matters little and less) is Ser Pounce.

Though why anyone would name their son Theon based on how terribly the book character screws things up is beyond me. Apart from dragonlady, most of the women in the series have quite reasonable names; I wouldn't be opposed to a daughter named Sansa or Catelyn.
