I wonder, how come noone noticed, that not a soul in the whole ASoIaF series EVER calls Queen Cersei 'Cersei Baratheon'?
I mean, when a woman gets married, she passes into her husband's house. So everywhere we see 'Catelyn Stark', 'Lysa Arryn' and so on, but always 'Cersei Lannister'. Is it because marriages into Royal Families are always more of a contract? Or this is some fat hint?
Well, no one ever called Princess Elia 'Elia Targaryen', but the Targaryen line was always more of a symbol, bloodline, customs and such. They're special case, whether you want it or not.
