For the sake of clarity, I'll refrain from calling Jon Snow "Aegon". Í pulled that from Danys vision in the house of the undying of Rhaegar, the woman and the baby named Aegon. Rhaegar's line about the child's song being the Song of Ice and Fire makes no sense if the woman is Elia who's from Dorne which is freaking hot and not Lyanna, who is from the North.

There are lots of people named Aegon in the books and also examples of multiple people with the same name from the same family, particularly if the name is important to the family like Aegon with the Trags or Walder with the Freys. It's a little weird, but I could see Rhaegar naming his child by a different woman (the woman that he actually loved, no less) Aegon even if he already had a child by Elia with the same first name.

Of course, it could also have been an insignificant glance at the past, which wouldn't have been that insignificant to Dany since she never met Rhaegar.

Either way, I'll cease with calling Jon Snow anything other than Jon Snow. I'm still sticking with my Crackpot theory.

You do realize some her vision right before that one was an insignificant glance into the past, with her father giving the order to torch Kings Landing?

Not that it discredits your theory totally mind you, but I think you are taking a bit of a leap. I always took that vision to be Rhaegar and Elia, and when he says there must be another I think he was talking about Jon. I think he thought the three heads of the dragon would be his three children, and was just slightly wrong.

Of course Aegon could really be Aegon and not a bastard targ, and Aegon, Jon, and Dany could be the three heads.

I think Rhaegar naming two children born about a year apart the same exact name would be ridiculous as hell, and wouldn't fit Lyanna in the slightest. Why the heck would she agree to name her kid Aegon when Rhaegar already has a son named Aegon?
