HBO executives casts and changes the name of Asha Greyjoy. Milla Send a noteboard - 02/08/2011 05:24:56 PM
Gemma Whelan has been cast as Asha Greyjoy, but since her name sounds too much like someone else in the book, Osha, they have changed her name to Yara Greyjoy.

If you ask me, that name sucks monkeyballs. It sounds like Arya, and who the hell is Osha? Casting looks good though.
