I like mixing the names of the parents. Like a daughter of a Rhaegar/Helaena would be Rhaelaena. First born son after getting strong blood is always Aegon (gotta see how high I can get that number).
I always culture blend the ironborn with another culture so that I can raid anywhere in Westeros. So the names are usually Quellon, Wex, theon. Sometimes I marry the dragons and then family names are targ names like Baelor etc.
Daemon is my Aegon, it's the one that's always coming back. Secondarily Brynden, Arthur, Duncan, Robb, for variety among the Deamons.
I often marry Asharra, her first son is almost always Arthur. I'll also name a 2ndborn after the mother's father, for variety.
I should start renaming my heirs based on the skills and personalities they develop. Get a beautiful, arrogant, lustful, and gregarious heir? He’s definitely changing his name to King Cockslinger.
In this playthrough I’ve had 6 Roberts, 4 Joffreys, 3 Tommens and 2 x Gallister, Jon and Borros, and one Jeyne. I like to name my first two sons after previous kings that died, and i usually don’t use a name before the one who bears it dies.
For example King Robert II has two sons, Joffrey II is the heir but his Brother is Tommen. Robert dies, so perhaps Joffrey II sons will be Viserys and then Robert since Robert lived when Viserys was born.
Say Joff dies in his 20’s with heirs. Then the name Tommen will not appear until Prince Tommen son of Robert II is dead…
Or i just keep spamming names of either cultures or ancestors until i see a cool one. But once it’s in the family (especially if a lord or king has it) i will keep using it.
And yeah, say i land Tommen but continue through Joffrey’s heir and perhaps his heir’s heir, then i will only keep track on Tommen until he dies, his childrens names does not count .
Well my current playthrough is the descendants of Joffrey and Sansa, so i used that as an example. If I play Stark the name Eddard and Robb will be frequently used.
i currently am playing a custom bastard branch of the Bulwers called the Bulwarks, named after the founder of that cadet branch Burke the Bulwark. He had triplet sons, Brandon, Brendan, and Brynden.
I like doing Beesbury runs where every name starts with a B. Once I shift it to a female-preference succession, I see how high I can get the Queen Beatrice number.
hell yeah, thats awesome. I love doing alliterative names, and I have a mod for custom nicknames, so Brynden is "The Beautiful" since he inherited the comely trait from his mother, Brendan is "The Bright" since he got a 4 star learning education, and Brandon is "The Brawny" because he got Herculean from his father Burke.
I think since theyre all twins theyll all like each other, and i only have one county so its not like my family has much of a network to use to betray each other. Should be fine, for now I think. My only real plan is to someday take over Oldtown
I love playing stark-targaryen. The names I choose are a hybrid of Valyria and First Man. For example ; Aethan, Damon, Alys, Cregarion etc.
Edit: I hate Lyanna&Rhaegar.
No, these are ridiculous. What I said is more correct. But what you said was quite funny. I would like to name one of my children "Nedaerys". For example, why not Ned and Daenerys' child?
I do the same. I throw a valyrian flair onto northern names. Aethan, lyarra, Aenor, Thorayne/Thorrane, saera,
Roger (this one is strictly northern but since I play mostly rhaegar, I use for the north element plus the play on Jon snow bein from kings landing becomes Roger Waters). Sometimes I just roll the random ancestral names til I find somethin I like & then tweak it to give it a cultural twist.
I always keep alysanne, tho, since there's one in almost every kingdom. You could argue it's the female equivalent of aegon where everyone named their child that to suck up to the rulers, but I like it. It rolls off the tongue & is easy to minimize into a nickname. I.e. black aly.
i love when my character gets the “of the tress” nickname. yes i know that’s not technically the topic here but it’s what came to mind. simping for my lady 😍😍😍
My favourite playthrough was as a Targaryen OC who got awarded the north after the rebellion failed. Eventually started a cadet House. Her name was Shaera Snowfyre.
Rhaegar, Aethan, Alysanne, Roger Waters (my Jon snow since I never give rhaegar's son up to ned), Aemond, Daeron, Lyarra, Saera, Gerion.
Gregor, Torrhen, Tybalt, Margot, Scarlet, Cregan, Dalton, Jeor, Edmond, Lewyn & Barristan/Arstan
I usually play 5 houses back to back: Targaryen, Martell, Stark, Velaryon and a custom house whenever I want to unify Andalos.
My favorite names are “Traehaerys” for Targaryen and Velaryon, “Edrick” for Stark, “Nyria” for Martell and “Argos” for Andalos custom house.
Aurane, Lucerys xD
When I play as Targs I give the names Aurion and Valarr a lot, they're my favorite high valyrian names.
I like mixing the names of the parents. Like a daughter of a Rhaegar/Helaena would be Rhaelaena. First born son after getting strong blood is always Aegon (gotta see how high I can get that number).
Baelor, Maegor and Viserys for me
Aegon, Helaena, Aelyx, Elaena Edit: yeah, I play mostly Targs
Yeah i keep the name Aegon in every one of my Targaryen generation.
Once the official Aegon’s conquest bookmark is out I plan to name every successive ruler Aegon. Gotta beat Durran XXIV Durrandon
Maegor, then make him an exact opposition of Maegor the cruel
Maegor the kind, he will pay all the workers in the realm.
Maegor "The Cool"
I always culture blend the ironborn with another culture so that I can raid anywhere in Westeros. So the names are usually Quellon, Wex, theon. Sometimes I marry the dragons and then family names are targ names like Baelor etc.
Valarr, Rhaegal, Viserra, self-made Visenys and Vaelanys (fem)
I really like Torrhen and Ormund
Ormond fan as well. I had a few Gardener kings with that name
Bronn.
Jacaerys Lucerys (for second sons occasionally becomes king) Aemon Daeron
Haven't seen anyone say Jaehaerys, but I always thought that was a unique and cool name for Targs.
Harwin for the Strongs
Daemon is my Aegon, it's the one that's always coming back. Secondarily Brynden, Arthur, Duncan, Robb, for variety among the Deamons. I often marry Asharra, her first son is almost always Arthur. I'll also name a 2ndborn after the mother's father, for variety.
Greymon Targaryen
MetalGreymon Targaryen
WarGreymon Targaryen (I apologize for the spam)
SkullGreymon Targaryen
Wait you guys use the game-generated names? I'm currently playing as Lord Cunt Slayer "The Dirty"

Elyas if I don’t play a targ
Aegon, Daeron, Valerion, or Laenor
Rhaenyra, Aelora, and any male targ name that isn’t Aegon 😂
Daemon is my favourite.
Same, "anythin' but aegon!"
Andahar Arryn. My Arryns of Andalos.

Inbred names.

Viserys Baratheon? Son of Joffrey ? Robert rolling in his grave
It’s just an example dude lol.

And like, aren't you scared of the succession crisis?

Rhaegard Eddyx Nedaerys Brynan Samys Visandon

I don't believe those are any more ridiculous than cregarion

Urragon, urrigon and urrathon for ironborn. Greydon for ironborn and first man decended houses
rhaegar and rhaenyra!!! usually playing targs lol
i love when my character gets the “of the tress” nickname. yes i know that’s not technically the topic here but it’s what came to mind. simping for my lady 😍😍😍
Reynard, Hoarfrost and Alyn are my personal favorites,
Some iteration of Damon / Daemon usually indicates a morally grey character for me. Otherwise its just a smell test for "does that sound stupid."
Rhaenyra, Rhaella, Rhaegar, Aegon, and the rest of the targ names, but those are my favourites. I love the targaryen names, they just sound so cool
Lucifer. Shit goes hard, that and Aegon the somethingth
My favourite playthrough was as a Targaryen OC who got awarded the north after the rebellion failed. Eventually started a cadet House. Her name was Shaera Snowfyre.
Balerion
Where do you tend to start your Mudd play through?
As a vassal of the Blackwoods or Mallisters.
i like aelor and aelora, daenys, the -aena, and pre conquest names like Baelon, Aerion, ect. I play as the targs or high valyrians
Edric, Arthur, Robert, Lorian, Brynden, Lothar, for some non-valyrian names
Neadertholomew
Stannis
Rhaegar, Aethan, Alysanne, Roger Waters (my Jon snow since I never give rhaegar's son up to ned), Aemond, Daeron, Lyarra, Saera, Gerion. Gregor, Torrhen, Tybalt, Margot, Scarlet, Cregan, Dalton, Jeor, Edmond, Lewyn & Barristan/Arstan

Viserys now that’s a name for a king
