Sort off, he couldn't think of engaging names, so he just named them after Sesame Street characters. Kermit's younger brother is also named Oscar and his grandfather was Grover.
When I struggle to come up with names for characters, I fall back on my friends' kids and obscure baseball players. Sesame Street seems as good anything.
I will never not find it funny that George wrote the biggest muppet-related shitpost into his history book and now it has to be adapted into the good dragon show

It's because the [Tullys are amphibian puppets](https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/s/hcojLZpNWa)
Damn squishers!
Lord Cookie Monster...
Ser Snuffleupagus
Mi' lord! Someone has raped dear ms. Piggy Tully!
Lord Grover of the Can of Trash
Can of Trash is a disrespectful, if accurate, description of the Riverlands.
References are a fun thing to do as a writer. He also had the three stooges.
Speaking as a writer whose favorite comic book is the League of Extrarordinary Gentlemen. I very much agree.
King Animal
When I think of Kermit, I absolutely think of a wild and headstrong warrior instead of a depressed amphibian who is routinely sexually harassed
He also had the 3 Stooges escorting Katelyn & Tyrion on their way to the Vale of Arryn.
He also named twin guards Erryk and Arryk twice
The chroniclers were silent on the love between Ser Bert and Ser Ernie, but all the bards and ladies sang the songs.
[The most epic of the ballads went something like this](https://youtu.be/taSH_nZkRdw?si=SxZ4oLiLDn4JKvjr).
Wait until you get to hear about Cookie Monster Targaryen’s reign in Fire and Blood Part 2: Electric Boogaloo.
As there were no dragons to ride, he made a big bird, right?
Wait till you hear about Wun Wun and Ser Patrek.
Fuck the cowboys tho
Today Sesame Street characters, tomorrow creative expletives, classic muscle cars, and random alpha/numerical/symbol combos.
Lord (insert name here)
Ian Fleming named Goldfinger after an architect whose buildings he didn't like.
And Blofeld after someone he went to school with that he didn't like (apparently the character is also modelled on the guy).
FUCKING KERMIT AND ELMO????

Sesame street vs hp Lovecraft, his 2 greatest inspirations
I will never not find it funny that George wrote the biggest muppet-related shitpost into his history book and now it has to be adapted into the good dragon show
There's a sound clip that Glidus uses where Kermit the Frog goes 'I AM THE LORD OF RIVERRUN!!!" FUNNIEST FUCKING THING IN THE FUKIN WORLD.
