Oh, for the love of Christ, I can't believe how defensive y'all are getting about this.

Yes, it is realistic, I know. There's a difference between making a joke in historic fiction about societal name trends and, for instance, giving two minor fictional characters the same name for no real reason.

Yeah, but there's plenty of stuff that breaks the One Steve Limit.

I'm not defensive, I'm not even involved in the fandom-- I think my theatre nerdery got away from me and my point. Which is: I'm not comparing GRRM's writing or plots to Shakespeare; I'm talking about the subject matter, which is very comparable. It's the stated starting point for ASOIAF: a fantasy War of the Roses.

You are confusing disagreement with your point with defensiveness. The only one who "sounds" defensive in this text-based discussion is...you.

No, statements like "Erm, there are LITERALLY over a thousand named characters in this series" and snottily asking me if I've "studied" noble families is definitely defensive and unnecessary.
