As diehard Game of Thrones fans here at Remezcla, we couldn’t help but notice the overlap between the names of GoT characters and actual Dominican people. Let’s be honest: Daenerys? Are we sure that isn’t your prima from Moca, rather than the Mother of Dragons?
Surprisingly, the book series is a treasure trove for idiosyncratic aliases. In fact, a few characters’ names have been altered or changed altogether for the TV show; as Harper’s Bazaar notes, Yara Greyjoy is named Asha in the novels.
Since the Season 6 finale is just around the corner, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to compare the Thrones world to real-life Dominican monikers. Whether or not you’re a Thrones fan, take a stab at our quiz below.
