03 What’s in a name?
Today on the 26th of December, the Titan of Braavos brings you a gift: episode 3 of Ragman's Harbour!
In our third episode, we discuss naming conventions in ASOIAF and our real world. How did last names come to be a thing in our world, and how does that parallel last names in ASOIAF? Why are there so many Aegons in ASOIAF history, as well as many Louis and Gustavs in French and Swedish history? (Spoiler: it has to do with one of Virginie's favourite words)
We also discuss the effects of colonisation and slavery on the naming of people, both in ASOIAF and our own world. So get ready to learn all about names and what they say about norms and structures in society!
Thank you LittleWolfBird for the sound engineering, and thank you to Matt Graham for the theme music with sounds from zapsplat.com!
