Finding it hard to come up with the perfect Southern name to bestow upon your newly created Hightower or Tyrell OC? The possibilities seem endless, I know. You want something flashy and unique. Something distinctly Southern in pronunciation and spelling. Nothing too overused, but certainly able to blend in with other Hightower and Tyrell names that will surround it at every written word.

It feels like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be.

In truth, there are dozens upon dozens of distinctly Southern names at your disposal. While strictly one-of-a-kind OC names are fun and a way to put your special twist on this world, it truly isn't a bad thing to use already existing ones to fulfill your needs.

So as a way to help in your overwhelming search, or even to provide some inspiration, here are the given names of those used by House Hightower and House Tyrell as told by the one and only George R. R. Martin.

(Note: These names are strictly for those born into the Hightower and Tyrell families.)
