It’s possible. But I think that the name change you’re talking about (changing Asha Greyjoy to Yara Greyjoy) was mostly due to Osha (the wildling woman) and Asha looking really different when you read it but sounding really similar when you say it, especially if you have multiple characters with different Anglophone accents saying the same name and each pronouncing it slightly differently.
I think it could be simplified to Hades for marketing reasons, but I’ll resist it. I prefer Aidon, there’s reason in my books for why he prefers to use that instead of Hades, and since one of the major draws of my work is that it’s a completely different way of seeing Hades, my way might just stick.
