Okay, I understand people wanting to name their kids Arya, but what the hell is wrong with people that THEON is a popular name??
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also, I would strongly suggest that parents wait until the series is complete before naming children or pets after any GRRM characters. You just never know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cinna – along with Senna, a female version
Um, really? You can't just name your daughter Cinna?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
You can't just name your daughter Cinna?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can.

Senna is an actual herb, which relieves constipation and acts as an emetic, IIRC.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know what's a really easy conclusion to come to? When someone says that a name spikes in popularity that the 800% or whatever has something to do with how many kids are being named that name. And I'm not even going to quibble over if it's a middle name or a first.
But what I'm really not considering is "attracting the biggest spikes in views". I find I actually don't care about that. I don't count that as a "strongest baby name influence" until it comes out the other end and the social security administration records start reflecting something.
Also, how can you be "boldly individualistic" and "hottest"? And Cinna needs a female version, so it's not one of the ones that shares "a transcendence of traditional gender identity". Any guesses for the rationale behind the chick version?

Yeah, I think I'd stick to Basil and Rosemary for herb-based baby names.

Another generation of people who will always have to spell their names. Of course, anymore, people still ask me how to spell Connie. "Is that with a K? Is there a Y at the end?"
If I meet someone named Bahb, I may hunt down their parents and smack them.

Because books.
And thus Senokot! Ugh.
Arya is gorgeous. And Theon, character aside, isn't as nice a name as Theo.
