Looped it a bajillion times. There's an "s" and it's a short name. Could be Aerys, as you said. The only other Targ name that fits the sounds and syllables is Aenys.
Can anyone think of any non-Targ names that might fit? I'm drawing a blank myself.
I could see Rhaeger naming him after the Mad King to appease his father and close the rift between them, hoping that his son would restore honor to the name.
That makes sense! It would be quite ironic if Jon was named after the Mad King. It would also be one more reason why Lyanna felt Robert would surely kill him.
I also see some similarities between Aenys and Jon. Both of their mother's died in Dorne. Both were gifted VS swords they felt unworthy to wield. Both despised by their Aunts (Cat in Jon's case).
Nice catch!
Thanks!
Stark name possibility: Artos
In the Stark tree most of the short names with an "S" are girls names.
The blade was Valyrian steel, spell-forged and dark as smoke. Nothing held an edge like Valyrian steel.

Or a Dayne name?

I also looped that vid into oblivion. Don't have much to contribute because I didn't hear anything beyond "his name is...". However I watched Lyanna's lips when she started to whisper the baby's name. I think it starts with J simply because of how her lips are forming the first sound. Other than that I got nothing.

Dudes, I'm like so hearing "Jaehaerys" now...-sigh-wtf? -dunno- This is some maddening bullsh*t...-chuckling- I mean, can we even be ABSOLUTELY positive the infant's Jon? Ya'd think so, right? -smh-
