Wait....I just discussed this with Elio directly in their forum, and he said: ''"it looks like the call was made to name him so, but in retrospect I suspect this was in fact supposed to be Aethan. That said, it feels like another thing to flag for George, as it's possible he indicated to Anne that Aethan was dead by this point and his successor was the one who turned."

So....that's kind of in flux, and may be an error they need to sort out on their end.

For all we know, they accidentally re-used the name "Daemon" but meant "Aethan"....at this moment, he actually thinks Aethan was still alive when Maegor died.....BUT also suspects it could equally go the other way, that Aethan was old enough they intended his successor to be in power.

(shrug) Well if there was a purge of the Velaryons they don't know.

Good to know that Elio said he's bring this up directly to GRRM with a note, to refine it by Fire and Blood Volume 1.
