          In Game of Thrones, Jaqen H'ghar is the name used by the Faceless Man who trains Arya in the lethal ways of the House of Black and White. The character is endlessly mysterious, but Jaqen seems not to be his given name.

                • Description:

                  A variation of Kyson, Kaison, Kayson and co., Kysen combines the stylish 'Ky' sound with a slightly softer looking -en ending. While a number of its sound-alikes rank in the US Top 1000, Kysen has yet to feature and has been trending downwards since it peaked in 2020 when it was given to 137 boys. Now, with so many other spelling options available, it has fallen to the wayside a little, though it still captures the same contemporary energy and will feel just as popular.
