I'm guessing Jaehaerys. Because, you know, there aren't enough "ae"s in fantasy names.

Wow, you picked the single common Targaryen name that has the same first letter as Jon! How ARE you maintaining your streak!?!

Also, the "ae" thing is following an in-story rule, rather than a supposed trope of the genre. It's only the rule for every single Targaryen prince or king except like four. It's better than stories where neighbors have names that don't sound like they come from the same language. As much as it might displease you that Martin has not taken a survey of your reading history to see what is the least common dipthongs, its certainly better than the names Brandon Sanderson excreted for his reader cameos.

Did Lyanna like Rhaegar? I can't remember their story. - 28/06/2016 01:29:17 PM 894 Views

If we accept a "medieval" mindset, the age of consent was likely 12. *NM* - 28/06/2016 08:42:57 PM 614 Views

Are you being ironic? - 01/07/2016 11:44:23 AM 884 Views
There is no age of consent in such a mindset, I was referring to the age of majority. - 30/06/2016 02:59:51 AM 815 Views
