A friend of a friend nearly called her daughter Myrcella/Marcella last wk, they went with Mirela once they saw her. I did prefer the other better.


I like Arya as Ahr-ya, its at #277 in the US, think it will be going up, & I find it nicer than Aria which had cracked the top 40.

I've meet two Tully's both women in their 20's. (One of them was named after the town in Queensland)

Theon. I'm not really a fan of the character, but two of my cousins have used Theodore nn Ted and Teddy so I do have it as an alternate.

Alysanne is mentioned in the books too. Love that name.

It bugs me that Arya is prn. Arh-ya. I thought it was Arh-ree-ah, like aria, the type of song. Arh-ya sounds dumb.

When I watched the first episode I thought it was pronounced eye-ya.

I'm sure all my friends that watch GOT call her Aria, I would say the majority of people would pronounce that way if they saw it written.

Arh-ya doesn't roll of the tongue as well, but not a fan of Aria I knew one growing up and only have negative associations.

The only names I like from the show are Margaery, Renly, and Theon. But I love Sansa as a character, and so could probably be persuaded to like the name as well.

Alysanne is also my favourite A Song of Ice and Fire name.
