Now that we know what Hodor's name actually means it seems sort of obvious (well not obvious, exactly, but like the sort of thing someone could have worked out).

The thing is, someone did work it out. Back in 2008.

Here's a thread in the A Song Of Ice And Fire (ASOIAF) wiki -- What does Hodor mean? -- that was started in February 2008.

Although there was plenty of speculation, there's one comment from a user called Myrddin that really stands out.

Okay, so it's not an exact prediction of what happened (obviously Myrddin is joking), but they still nailed the key origin of Hodor's name.

The theory went down well, even then.

Ah, if only if hadbeen that simple.

Myrddin wasn't the only one to predict the origin's of Hodor's name, either. In 2014, writer Michael A. Ventrella shared a story on his blog about a time he met George R. R. Martin at a convention.

The two apparently had rooms near each other, and kept bumping into each other in the elevator. On one occasion, Martin joked about how he would have been an elevator operator if he hadn't become a writer.

The last time they met during the convention, Ventrella writes, they had the following exchange:

Ventrella: "I finally figured out why you have a character named 'Hodor'."

Martin: "Oh?"

V: "I was thinking about your comment about wanting to be an elevator operator. It's clear to me now that 'Hodor' is short for 'Hold the door'."

M: "You don't know how close to the truth you are!"

So the answer was right in front of us the whole time. No one predicted the tragic circumstances of how that meaning would be revealed, though.
