When Arya was like "I have one name left... the Hound." and the Hound glances over at her, my friend looked over at me and asked "is that guy the Hound?" completely straightfaced. I burst out laughing, but that quickly ended when I realized he was dead serious.

It's going to be funny if she turns out to be the ultimate villain of the story. You know, past the part where she wants to rape and pillage the seven kingdoms with her slave army and dragons. Because that is perfectly cool with most show watchers.

I figured I would hold out hope that her storyline from "I'm gonna chill here for a while" to "I finally rode a dragon and now I'm making GBS threads across the plains" retains at least 1/4th of the lameness from the books and crushes these retarded parents poor hearts. Or y'know she just dies out of nowhere, gets a red wedding of her own. That'd be fine too.

wukkar posted:Because those are 2014ish newborn baby names, not names of adults. Give it time and you will. I've always pronounced it 'you-ron', but I could be wrong in that. I find it weird that there's more kids being named Arya than Sansa. 'Arya' is kind of a mouthful and can't really be shortened. Alternatively, give your kids a normal name.

It's not necessarily permanent, just down. Given the amount of care put into the forums by Lowtax it might be awhile though... Somehow I missed the wire stuff. I'm guessing it's because I watched the wire after reading the OG bad thread. I want to read it now.

I've always pronounced Euron the same as "urine, " though that may say more about my accent than how the name is actually supposed to be pronounced. I'm pretty sure it isn't "Aaron" though, since that's how I pronounce the name of his brother, Aeron. I wouldn't trust the audiobooks when it comes to name pronunciation anyway. I'm looking at you, Pe-tire Baelish.

Pretty sure Aeron is pronounced pretty similar to the Herman Miller Aeron chair, which is "air-ron." Which, in my mind, makes Euron "yoor-ron."
