But a great majority of the ASOIF character names are created by Martin himself.
Many are just simply plucked from current name charts (Kyle, Jon, Lucas, Jenny, Kyra). Some of his names are based on Medieval and old Celtic names, which normally conjure up a fantastical world.
Well, maybe with the exception of Daenerys. Martin’s characters reflect our continuing advice about creating fantasy names: make them easy to pronounce and easy to spell.
There are currently 2,054 named characters in the A Song of Ice and Fire, series - the books on which the HBO television series Game of Thrones is based. Martin has succeeded in creating some of the best fantasy names in literature.
