Shaggydog FTW! Hehehe, I love all the direwolves now, but at the time I thought some of their names were :\ I like Summer and Ghost too, but I like the idea of the scariest one having the dorkiest name even more.
Okay, first of all, can we talk about how flattered I am that you voted Jaime Lannister as the character I'm most like? I mean, that's always a compliment, but coming from someone who loves Jaime like you, do, wow, that is quite the compliment! :D
As for the wolves, Shaggydog is probably my second-favorite name, for that very reason. :) Nymeria is by far my least favorite name and I can't believe that's winning. If someone I knew in real-life told me they named their dog some pretentious shit like "Nymeria", I'm pretty sure I'd have to constantly make fun of them for it.
If you make a Green Dragon Inn icon, I will almost definitely use it! I used to have a fantasy about opening my own bar and calling it The Green Dragon. :)
Don't hurt me anyone -- I can't believe Nymeria is winning either. I thought that Nymeria and Grey Wind were kind of the lamest names. I mean, I like them now as an extension of liking the wolves themselves (puppies!!!) but at the time, meh. I really like Summer, on the other hand, it's resonant but not quite cheesy. Lady and Ghost sound like actual pet names (especially Lady), but Robb and Arya would never be allowed to name my pets.
None of the characters bore you? At times for sure, but of those I can't tell who bores me the most. And even those characters I do like to think about and speculate on from time to time. And there are cases like Stannis, I nearly fell asleep reading Stannis stuff the first time. Then I put the book down and think about him and Stannis becomes very interesting to me, as he's a really well written secondary character (which tends to be a big deal for me). So I just didn't know how to answer.
I guess the ironborn may be the greatest area of boredom, and Jon and Dany aren't really my favorite POV's either, but even there it's fun to speculate about things even if I don't enjoy the actual reading as much.

Date: 2008-07-16 07:36 am (UTC)The Green Dragon Inn totally wins btw. I think that needs to be iconized. XD
Oh and I don't think Gregor is frightening. More frightening those you don't expect it from, like Ramsay or the Tickler. OR THE QUEEN OF THORNS!
