I don't know about society but it certainly says a lot about you, if you would see people being tortured and raped when you looked at a kid just because they share the name with a character from a book.
Well, what about from the kid's perspective then?
"Hey Dad, why I am called ___ , is it a name from a great lady in real life who fought for rights and won the hearts of a nation?"
"No, you are named after a female character in a book who wanted holes in her breasts so she could be ****ed in them."
"Oh... erm... thanks?"

I'll just add that to the growing list of reasons to die.

My therapist won't see me anymore as I keep ruining Game of Thrones for him. I told him season five would be the worst season yet, as even the biggest fool wouldn't be able to ignore the glaringly obvious regurgitation of characters in an ongoing violent, pornographic soap opera that is deserving of neither the awards nor the praise it receives. I told him to expect more nudity, sex and rape scenes, and that he shouldn't be seduced by the high budget fantasy filth like all the other sheep. Then he just spat at me and called me a 'noob', physically forcing me out of the room. Unbelievable.
One porn scene to rule them all, One beheading to find them
One rape scene to bring them all, and in the misogyny bind them.

I think it's okay to be 'inspired' when choosing a name for your child, but I have to wonder in a few years when those children become teenagers and then adults if they won't have the piss royally taken. I mean Khaleesi? Really?
I'm not knocking unusual names as I gave my daughter one, but if it borders on silly it's almost cruel to do that to your kid.

Has there ever been somebody so obviously being paid to promote something on this forum? And is it allowed?

So you're just going for pure comedy now rather than any pretence of being serious?

It's called 'trolling'.
My sister has Renly and Brienne on her list of potential baby names. I doubt she'll use them though. They're just options. I would name my daughter Kara after Kara Thrace (Starbuck) from Battlestar Galactica. :cool:

Oh I know he's trolling, I just think he's going for comedy trolling now
I like Brienne as a name, although you score major nerd points for your choice of name for your daughter !

I see you are going for just OTT wind ups now.
That's good, for a while I was worried you were real.

What an intellectually sharp and witty mind we have here. I can see why he considers himself above all these mindless, manipulated sheep...seriously though, do you ever get bored of yourself, or are you that desperate for attention/reactions?
On topic...
If I ever had a kid I'd definitely consider names such as Arya or Brandon, which are names that aren't necessarily GoT names- unlike names such as Khaleesi, Cersei and Hodor.
My daughter's name was inspired by a TV show also taken from a novel, though hardly out of the mainstream. I can't see what's wrong with many GOT names, and kids have been named after celebrities for ever.
The Stark children all have reasonably nice names, as do their parents so I wouldn't have a problem with any of them.
Also think Samwell, Jaime, Petyr, Oberyn, Myrcella and Tommen are quite nice. As are Lyanna and Renly.
Would draw the line at Khaleesi though. (And a lot of the names we come across in her strand). Or Melisandre.
I have a friend called Melisandre:D Not named after any character AFAIK. She's 51, so that might be tricky. It being a tad of a mouthful, she's Mel to her friends.
Comments
'Cersei' seems to me a corruption of 'Circe', the sorceress in the Odyssey of Homer.
Speaking of which, I wonder if 'Homer' is more popular because of the Simpsons?
I do quite like ancient mythology names - perhaps Theseus and Achilles could become popular. I did once came across a guy called Orestes

TV show?? I thought it was a series of novels.

I agree and the character is badass.
but theres so many good ones out there you could probably spend till the kids 21 before finding the perfect one
One of my friends always said she wanted to name any daughter she had Rinoa, but now she's pregnant she's backed off on that somewhat lol

It's from one of the books.
You must be Hodor:D

I'm really glad she did. If she wanted to name her child after a FF character she could at least pick one who is not insufferably awful

Khaleesi and Melisandre are relatively normal in comparison.
I don't mind Gendry either but I'd be pronouncing it Jen-dry which isn't how they pronounce it in the show.
I truly wish the GOT writers would name a character dmuk. It`d tip him/her right over the edge....
Especially if the character was killed off by disembowellment, or something along those lines.
