I think he meant to imply that any sort of want for death would make her seem cruel since she's the only non-sociopathic Stark that isn't either dead or Jesus' second coming. Edit: gently caress, new page. This post was in response to Ambiguatron. Contra Calculus fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jun 15, 2012 |

I wonder how many children there are out there named after Gurm's characters. Or will be now that the show is so popular. I'm sure it's less than the number of cats named after Gurm characters, but I fear that isn't saying much. At least cats do not know shame. Poor little Aryas and Jons and Loras's. What will they think when they get old enough to feel the crushing shame of their names? It surely must be as heavy a burden as Gurm himself is.

According to the Social Security Administration Brandon has actually declined in popularity since 1996. I'm still looking to see if any of the more unusual names are in the top 1000.

Robb, Jon, Ned, Brienne, Brandon, and Catelyn are normal names albeit with different spelling. I've even heard of a woman or two actually named Dany (but not Danaerys.) It's the ones that are named Yoren, Bronn, Jaime, Tyrion, Loras, Renly, Cersei, and Strong Belwas that I feel sorry for. But you just know those will be the most popular ones thanks to them being the most popular characters. I would not laugh at the kid with the name Tormund Giantsbane, however. Also, the poor kid that gets to be named Darkstar is going to have a tough time on the playground

Why do you feel bad for kids named Jaime? That's a common enough name and common enough spelling, no one would think twice of it.

Wait, Jaime is a common name? Well poo poo, I had always heard of girls with the name Jamie and some dudes with the name Jameson and I assumed that was the only variant of that name. Heh, the more you know.

Jaime is a Spanish name, pronounced HIGH-meh. Could this be a hint that Jaime Lannister is a secret Martell, since Dorne is clearly the Mexico of Westeros?

When I hear the Spanish pronunciation, I think of the guy Edward James Olmos played in Stand and Deliver. Handless will bring calculus to Westeros.

I read it in my head that way for the first three or so books before someone convinced me it was just an alt spelling of Jamie. I was kinda disappointed actually.

It's also a completely mundane english version.  "Jamie" doesn't look correct, anyway; I want to pronounce it "jam-ee" because there's no reason that A should be long.

Split the difference and pronounce it Jigh me. Lannisters are now Australian, sigil a kangaroo on a barbie being cooked by a dingo.

The Lannistralian sigil is a cassowary rampant, ridden by a funnel web spider, also rampant, which is turn ridden by a mouse spider... also rampant, on a blood red field checked with those little jellyfish that literally make you think the world is ending.
