Yeah +1 that this becomes more of a thing based on name alone. You might need to explicitly state in company policy that: - Crossbows not allowed at board meetings.
Yes, and we won't have armchairs!

#42Let me lead off by saying I'm not a lawyer, but "House Lannister" is trademarked[0]. I would not be surprised if you receive a C&D notice.

#43Umm I am not sure if I am missing something, but where is the self hosted or source code I can compile for myself?

Looks nice. How does this app authenticate with your various financial accounts?
It stores your credentials locally. The whole situation should improve with PSD2 (EU perspective).

Can you confirm this?

#46Interesting. I personally use https://outbankapp.com/en/ . The app is closed-source; everything is locally stored. It allows me to track my bank accounts, including portfolios, etc. from most German and Dutch banks, credit cards, etc.. Additionally it can track BTC, ETH wallets, connect to Coinbase and a few other exchanges and membership programs. I would never use a wealth management app requiring manual entry. Tha…
I wish we had apps like this for the US market; unfortunately we’re stuck with Personal Capital and Credit Karma.

#47I think it's a great name! It is recognizable and well-associated with what you're building, even if the name-story accuracy isn't 100% - I think that would be serious nitpicking and you can always rename it something else later when the cost / benefit makes sense.
I'd have called it Iron Bank.

Copyright is for non-commercial use, IIRC. If you’re not selling anything, it doesn’t apply. Not sure if that’s the case here.
This is simply not true, sadly. Copyright applies regardless of intentions or outcomes; it’s only in certain limited fields that some activities are somewhat exempted (i.e. backups). This is clearly not one of them.
Can you copyright a person's surname (as it was used before GOT)?
Trademark is different.

That I agree. I was just correcting the view of the parent comment, which was wrong on its own.

Bank of Braavos sounds good too.
