Game Of Thrones Season 7: 13 Biggest Rumours You Need To Know

11. We'll Discover Jon's Real Name

Season 6 finally brought confirmation that when you add R to L, the answer is indeed J.

Jon Snow's parentage may have been revealed, but there was still some ambiguity to the scene. When Lyanna hands over the baby, she can be seen saying "his name is..." but the rest of it isn't possible to make out.

Since then, various fans claim to have figured it out, with guesses ranging from Aemon to Aegon to Jaehaerys. It makes sense, since they're all much more Targaryen-y than Jon. Although so is literally anything else.

The belief is that we'll find out in Season 7, along with the 'bastard' learning of his true identity. Jon finding out the truth makes sense, as does him not being called Jon. The part about learning his real name is less clear. If Bran didn't hear it, will anyone know? And will it really matter, since everyone is gonna keep on calling him Jon Snow regardless of what happens.
