This is fun! George R.R. Martin largely modified existing names, especially names in use in the Medieval Europe, for most of Westerosi culture (though at one point in the Fire & Blood chronicles you can tell he just said "eff it," because a group of Tullys have legit Muppet names: Kermit, Grover, and Elmo). But the Valyrian names for Targaryens are where he got creative with name roots and mashing them together. They're obviously too "weird" to use in real life, but some of them really appeal to the name nerd in me.

Daeron (luckily has a real-world counterpart, Daren / Darren)
Valerion (luckily has a real-world counterpart, Valerian)
Viserys
&
Alyssa (okay, this is a legit - if a bit dated now - name)
Elaena (luckily has a real-world counterpart, Elena / Alaina)
Helaena (luckily has a real-world counterpart, Helena)
