In this video, I will discuss the names of all the direwolves, how their names might
be connected to their stark's fates and what it would mean for Bran, Sansa, Jon and
Arya in season 8.
So stay tuned for that...
Hello Everyone.
Welcome to UBM.
Your one stop for book and TV series reviews.
I am back with another crazy theory of mine.
Last year, I discussed why and how the Direwolf mother managed to cross the wall.
You can also checkout my other crazy theories like "Why Stark Blood is especial", "Who
put the curse on Harrenhal and why", "Why there are no female Whitewalkers" etc. in
my "Game of Thrones Theories Playlist."
You can check out the link on the top right corner of this video.
Since Westworld is airing these days, I have decided to focus on that for the next few
weeks.
Once Westworld is finished, I'll get back to posting more GOT videos.
Don't worry, I'll try to post GOT videos whenever I can during this time.
I'll just focus more on westworld for some time.

Thank you so much for your contributions.
Do you believe in names?
Do you think they have a meaning or they can affect your life somehow?
Or at the very least in this case, have you ever wondered if the names of the Direwolves
are a sign of their respective Stark's fates?
Even the Direwolf mother's death foretold the future of the Stark parents.
The direwolf died because of a Stag, just like Ned Stark died because Robert took Ned
with him to King's Landing.
I got this idea from LL's comment, who said, "I've always worried about the symbolism
of Lady dying, especially as Sansa's lie contributed to it.
I now think it means, she will be limited to being a lady."
In the beginning of this series, Robb and Jon had found a dead direwolf and 6 pups.
The pups were given to the Stark Children.
The Stark children chose the names of their direwolves.
Bran was the last to pick a name.
I'll read you some lines from Bran's chapter in the books.
He was still trying to decide on a name.
Robb was calling his Grey Wind, because he ran so fast.
Sansa had named hers Lady, and Arya named hers after some old witch queen in the songs,
and little Rickon called his Shaggydog, which Bran thought was a pretty stupid name for
a direwolf.
Jon's wolf, the white one, was Ghost.
Bran wished he had thought of that first, even though his wolf wasn't white.
He had tried a hundred names in the last fortnight, but none of them sounded right.
Bran touched his forehead, between his eyes.
The place where the crow had pecked him was still burning, but there was nothing there,
no blood, no wound.
He felt weak and dizzy.
He tried to get out of bed, but nothing happened.
And then there was movement beside the bed, and something landed lightly on his legs.
He felt nothing.
A pair of yellow eyes looked into his own, shining like the sun.
The window was open and it was cold in the room, but the warmth that came off the wolf
enfolded him like a hot bath.
His pup, Bran realized . . . or was it?
He was so big now.
He reached out to pet him, his hand trembling like a leaf.
When his brother Robb burst into the room, breathless from his dash up the tower steps,
the direwolf was licking Bran's face.
Bran looked up calmly.
"His name is Summer," he said.
So, that's how summer was named.
Now let's take a look at the Names of the Direwolves and the hints they might provide
about their respective Stark's fates.
(i) Lady – Lady has Grey fur and Yellow eyes.
She was the first wolf to die in this series.
But Sansa has survived against all odds.
Even Jaime thinks in the books that by all rights, the girl should be dead.
I agree with LL's theory here.
I already predicted in my Sansa's Fate in the Finale video that Sansa will survive in
the end.
If Jon, Dany or their child lives to rule the seven kingdoms, or even if they decide
to destroy the Iron Throne in the end, Sansa will still remain a Lady.
Lady Stark of Winterfell.
(ii) Shaggy-dog-Rickon- He has Black fur and bright green eyes.
In the books, Rickon is in Skagos according to some rumors.
In "A Feast For Crows, Samwell Tarly records(recalls) having read that the Skagosi ride great shaggy
unicorns to war.
In "A Dance With Dragons," in a vision of Ghost, Jon sees a black direwolf fighting
a goat with one long horn.
There are ancient tales of Hairy Men in Essos riding unicorns to battle, and Skagosi lords
are also said to ride unicorns.
So maybe, in the books, Rickon will meet these shaggy wildlings aka hairy skagosi and will
bring them back to help westeros end the long night?
But that was in the books where Rickon was still alive.
In the show, Rickon was killed by Ramsay.
Ramsay owned a Lot of Dogs and was eventually killed by his own black dog.
(iii) Grey Wind-Robb – He has smoke grey fur and yellow eyes.
Robb named him Grey wind because he was so fast.
Robb and his direwolf were killed by Walder Frey's betrayal.
House Frey's sigil is two blue towers united by a bridge on a silver grey field.
Although another reason Robb had died was because he stopped trusting his wolf.
Cat even warned him saying "Any man Grey Wind mislikes is a man I do not want close
to you.
These wolves are more than wolves, Robb.
You must know that.
I think perhaps the gods sent them to us.
Your father's gods, the old gods of the north."
And Yet, Robb ignored her warnings, thinking he shouldn't have taken Grey wind with him
into battles.
(iv) Summer – He has silvery grey fur and yellow eyes.
Before I predict Bran's future, I'll read a couple lines from the books about Summer.
"Meera: Did you know they would be so big?
Jojen: They will be bigger still before they are grown.
The black one is full of fear and rage, but the grey is strong ... stronger than he knows
... can you feel him, sister?"
As you can see, it also points towards Bran in way.
Bran turned out to be way stronger than he ever thought possible.
He is the Three Eyed Raven now.
He is still learning and growing stronger.
As for the name Summer, I think it predicts that Bran will be a key part in ending "Winter"
aka "the Long Night," or "the Night that never ends" and will help bring summer
back.
After all, he had named Summer AFTER the three Eyed Raven had made him wake up from his coma.
(v) Nymeria – She has Grey fur and dark golden eyes.
When the Valyrian Freehold conquered the Rhoyne with their dragons, Nymeria's namesake aka
the Rhoynish Princess Nymeria had led the surviving the Rhoynar into exile from Essos.
She brought ten thousand ships across the Narrow Sea to the shores of Dorne.
She struck an alliance with House Martell and married Lord Mors Martell.
Together they conquered the rest of the Dorne.
Nymeria had fought and saved her people.
It's true that Arya had named her direwolf after this queen.
But just like Nymeria, I can also see Arya fighting for her people and leading them to
safety if things got bad during the great war.
(vi) Ghost- He has white fur and Red eyes.
Jon's direwolf's name is ghost.
In a way, Jon had died and came back from death, kind of like a ghost who doesn't
move on after death.
Maybe Jon will die again in the great war or maybe it's a sign of Jon dying and coming
back as a fire wight once more?
What do you think?
BTW, did you notice that ALL the Direwolves except Ghost and Shaggy Dog, have different
shades of Grey fur and yellow eyes?
Nymeria has golden eyes, which is more of the same.
What do you think it means?
Lemme know in the comments.
Anyways, it's time for the comment shoutout now.
Todays comment shoutout goes to Sean Killackey, who said, "When I saw the new and improved
scorpion, I thought Dany, you should have told Cersei to surrender at the first meeting
rather than ask for a truce."
I completely agree.
Jon might not have liked it, but if Dany had cornered Cersei at the Dragonpit and forced
her to bend the knee, it might have helped them focus ALL of their strength on the WWs.
Even Jon had once sacrificed his honor to save the seven kingdoms.
Or maybe this new scorpion will help kill Viserion.
So, what do you think of these theories, don't forget to tell us in the comments.
