Oh, there are book fans who have issues with the series. But honestly, the books are so long, has so many characters and have so much material there was always going to be some lost in adaptation. There have been stuff I was less keen on (House of the Undying was way better in the book!) but overall I enjoy it as a show in itself, so I give it good marks. Some of it the show even does better.
Drogon is named for Drogo (her lost husband), Viserion for her brother from season one and Rhaegal from her other brother that was killed in the rebellion by now dead King Robert. Rhaegar kidnapped/ran away with Lyanna Stark, the woman Robert was meant to marry and who Cercei Lannister found out he still loved. This may or may not be important in later seasons as there are some popular theories that Lyanna actually became pregnant by Rhaegal and had a child. The dragons definitely will be important in what's to come, in any case.
