"Real" name, not new name. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 05/07/2016 11:45:14 AM

View original post
His last name will change but his first name should still be Jon.

Presumably, his parents would have given him a name of their own choosing. Jon is about as ordinary a name as you can get, and it is highly unlikely that an emo douche like Rhaegar would have been satisfied with such a name for a child of such great destiny and portent as to justify the abandonment of his parents' duties and families and throwing over the kingdom into civil war.

Margaery, Shae, Aeron, virtually every Targaryen, Petyr Baelish... *NM* Tom - 28/06/2016 08:49:35 PM 551 Views
Margaery, Shae & Aeron (& Petyr) are alternate spellings of real names, Margery, Shea, Aaron, Peter Cannoli - 30/06/2016 03:02:29 AM 747 Views
So what? Martin overuses the "ae" like a lot of other fantasy authors. *NM* Tom - 30/06/2016 04:17:49 PM 545 Views
Did Lyanna like Rhaegar? I can't remember their story. nossy - 28/06/2016 01:29:17 PM 880 Views

If we accept a "medieval" mindset, the age of consent was likely 12. *NM* Tom - 28/06/2016 08:42:57 PM 599 Views

Are you being ironic? Cannoli - 01/07/2016 11:44:23 AM 863 Views
There is no age of consent in such a mindset, I was referring to the age of majority. Cannoli - 30/06/2016 02:59:51 AM 796 Views
