Maybe it’s just me, but I thought it was pretty clear that Lyanna (in the show) was the one who named her son Aegon. It would make no sense for Rhaegar to do it (as he already had an Aegon). My question: would Lyanna have known that Elia and the children were dead? That is, how likely do you think it is that she knew about the war’s ending before Ned showed up?

Isn’t it kind of weird and creepy either way? 

If she knows, she’s decided to name her son after her husband’s dead kid, like a replacement goldfish.

If she doesn’t, she’s decided to name her son the same thing as the son Rhaegar just disinherited, which is a monumental dick move.
