Wait, Why Are There So Many Babies Named Arya?
You know a show has really caught on when there start to be babies named after its lead characters. Who can be surprised then that out of GOT characters, Arya tops the list? It became the 216th most popular name in 2014 – 1544 babies were named after Arya that year! She’s not the only one though. In the same year, there were 368 Khaleesis and 86 Daeneryses.
Success for Nymeria
On the show, Arya released her wolf Nymeria into the wild of the Riverlands. But according to Maisie Williams, who plays Arya, Nymeria didn’t go as far as we thought. Williams revealed that Nymeria was the best behaved dog on set, so she played all of the other wolves, and even Shaggy Dog. Meet the true GOT breakout star – Nymeria!
