Is it just me or does 'Aemond' sound like a Targaryen/Valyrian version of 'Ormund'?
Like, I could be imagining it, but I think the two names sound rather similar, and I think there's an actual chance that Alicent might've come up with a Valyrian name that sounds like an Andal one which her family uses.
On the other hand, it could also be that 'Aemond' is a variation of 'Aemon' or even 'Daemon', though I find the latter somewhat unlikely as it's doubtful that Alicent would've named/let her second son be named after Daemon.
Who knows, maybe it was the name of some ancestor of the Targaryens/a Targaryen from before the Doom of Valyria.
I'm probably reading too much into this, but I think it's worth pondering [especially since 'Aemond' is just 'Daemon' with the 'd' swapping places] how the Targtower children got their names, especially Aemond and Helaena [I don't think the name 'Helaena' was used before Alicent named her daughter that; it could also be an altered/Valyrian-ized Andal name].
