Tiny sketchbook coloured version part 2 - Asha Greyjoy

I don't remember if it's ever said in the books, currently in the process of re-reading them. But regarding the current generation of Greyjoy siblings names - Rodrik, Maron, Asha, and Theon - I wonder if it is safe to say that Balon and Alannys took turns naming them 😂

It feels almost out of character to imagine Balon allowing that since from what little we know of the intricacies of his and Alannys's relationship they don't seem to be the HAPPIEST of couples, arranged marriages and all that. But perhaps he felt more charitable after the birth of a child OR perhaps Alannys gave him hell until he agreed, we know she was quite the woman before grief drove her quite unwell 🥲.

But uh, my only evidence for this is that two of the children, Maron and Theon, follow the what seems to be typical Greyjoy naming convention of ending every name with -on (Balon, Quellon, Euron, Aeron, etc etc) and the other two children are named Rodrik, likely after Alannys's own brother, Rodrik the Reader, who I CANNOT see Balon being thrilled to have his firstborn named after 🤣 and Asha who was the first and only girl and also just does not fit the -on naming convention.

I don't know, maybe this is obvious or maybe it's nothing, but I thought it was kind of cute to imagine these two, not GREAT parents by any means (despite Lanny's efforts 🥲), compromising on this. In the throes of reaving and rebellion, taking the time to share naming your children is blessedly normal for this little Ironborn family 🥲🥲🥲
