Pairing names have been around for decades now, even RR and his wife had a pairing name, Brick, so it's not rally something new and not at all stupid.

The Romans will not follow the Greeks, have you not read MoA at all? Because it was explained pretty well back then. Again and for the last time, they don't have time to become a pairing because if RR wanted that he would have at least hinted at it which he didn't so I'm sorry to burst your "pair the spares" plan but they just won't become a couple. You people are just pairing things with absolutly no logic to back it up.

Piper is a terrible character, unless RR plans on writing her well, which I doubt he even cares to do, there's no changing that.
