[Facts] Names of Game of Thrones major characters
This is just a collection of names to see whether they have an entry at BtN. Some are older real-world names, others were created by the author GRR Martin and have been adopted by fans of the TV show for their children recently. The latter likely won’t have a proper entry, but may have been submitted by users (which doesn’t generate links here, unfortunately).
The list doesn’t include names of minor parts and such appearing only in the book series A Song of Ice and Fire.

You forgot Khaleesi!
Which charts on the US and UK top 1000 names for girls as of 2014. And I suspect will haven risen greatly when the 2015 list comes out.
*I know Khaleesi is a title, not a name, but as a totally invented ASOIAF word, it deserves a mention here :)

Yes, I’ve noticed that Khaleesi is actually used as a name and added it to the list at http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/162618/108943
Hi !!!
I love Ice&Fire things too!
Maybe we can create a section of submitted names with only these kind of names...
