Rhaegar had two wives and it's stated that both his sons from these women were named aegon.
Is this accurate, why would he name both his sons the same thing.
Rhaegar had two children with Elia Martell: Aegon and Rhaenys. Both of them however were murdered during the Sack of Kingslanding, which happened several weeks before Jon was born. Now Rhaegar already had died even before that, so it might not even have been him who decided on the name for his unborn child. Lyanna could have very well chosen the name as it was 'available'.
Either way I really hope this will be different in the books as "Aegon" really would be the most unoriginal and boring Targaryen name ever.
I read that in the books there was another baby named Aegon aswell but they tried to kill it, but instead they swapped the baby with a peasants baby in secret so that kid is still alive somewhere.
But that's the books not the show.
Yes Rhaegar's eldest child. Supposedly Varys saved him by switching babies and currently in the books he is invading the Stormlands with the Golden Company, however it's speculated he's a fake.
There's 5 Aegons entirely lol
Jon is Aegon V
No there have already been five Aegon's. Aegon V was nicknamed The Unlikely and was in his youth called "Egg". He was one of the main characters in the "Tales of Dunk and Egg" series.
If Jon ever becomes king, that would make him Aegon VI. As only kings are counted, Rhaegar's first son doesn't really matter.
