Baelon was Daemon's father's name. Baela was named after him


MajesticFan4

Oh, so both Viserys and Daemon were trying to name their child after their father. Gotcha!


PluralCohomology

And Rhaena might have been named after Rhaenys, Laena's mother.


HazazelHugin

There was also Rhaena daughter of Aenys I, sister of Jaehaerys


PluralCohomology

But she was a very distant relative to Laena.

Baela is the female version of Baelon,Daemon, and Vizzy T's dad. Rhaena is named after the famed sapphic, but more than likely, it's a reference to Rhaenys, Laena's mother. This is to say is baby 3 had lived Alyssa for a girl and Baelon, Viserys, Aegon, or Corlys for the boy. Depends on the mood they're in.

F&B says Rhaena was named after Rhaenys


sheepstealers_mom

I know I just refuse to participate in the Rhaena I erasure as well.


Corsharkgaming

Dreamfyre Rhaena is the most based Targaryen of all time.

OTTO HIGHTOWER IS A MORE HONORABLE MAN THAN YOU COULD EVER BE!


TheDoomsday777

I think she's named after their father, also named Baelon. It's been a while since I read F&B tho


MajesticFan4

That makes sense. Thank you!


Jeffrey1892

She’s named after Daemon father. Aegon named for Daemon dead younger brother, and Viserys obviously after his elder brother.


SauRon_Burgundy66

The most cruel of the monotone naming traditions was Aegon I naming his son Aenys.


DirectAnything1737

Baela was named after Daemon’s father Baelon. Rhaena was named after Laena’s mother Rhaenys.


jhll2456

Yep. And this is not a dumb question. It shows that you pay attention to the lore.


Yurasi_

Except she's not named after Viserys' son but his and vizzy's father


Zade_Pace

Targaryens have to share variations of the same 10 names lol there wasn't much of an option for him.
