Importance of 'Brisingr'

When Paolini released that the title of the third book will be Brisingr, he also said that Eragon could never have guessed the importance that the word would have.

Paolini also said that Eragons true name would be revealed. I wonder if his true name could be as simple as Brisngr.

Any of your own theories?

I don't think it is his name because he is named after a dragon rider, and that's symbolic enough.
I think that would be too easy, anyways. It's not going to be much of a revelation if that is what it is, so I think he will do something else.

He is named after a dragon rider, but not his real name right? His real name is in the ancient language. Any ideas of the words importance though?

Well, it could mean that it is an element that represents him.(that might be a little weak) It could be his magic is fire based...
He could be saying that just to make everyone think that is his name.
(like Empire/green cover)
Or he could be saying that to confuse people.
I'm not too great at speculating.

I think that Brisingr is a good name. Espicially seeing as how it was the first magic he used consiously. I suppose his name could have something to do with Brisgnr, but it could also be something compleatly diffrent.

I don't think his true name is just Brisingr, because that's already the true name of fire. However, I do agree with Hadarac in that it could be something to do with fire, and Mereel in that maybe magic is element based, so perhaps it turns out that Eragon it the strongest user of fire based magic in Alagaesia or something. That would be cool, plus Arya's magic is green, so maybe she is the strongest user of earth based magic or something? That would be so cool lol :lol

Then again, Eragon's is blue, which kind of kills my theory... lol

And I'm sure IMNC could take your therory and convincingly make an arguement that that makes her Eragon's love and the next rider. But I digress...
I agree, it can't be his name because it is already the true name of fire.
I can't believe I missed that... :shock :lol

makes sense, but I still don't understand how it can be "more important than even Eragon could have imagined"

Well, think about all the things that will happen once he knows his true name. Open the 'vault of souls', avoid letting Gilby know, ect. Im sure it will have huge implications

It's obvious that something big will happen with brisingr. Maybe Eragon wil learn a more powerful 'version' of the spell, or maybe part of his true name is brisingr? Does it say how long your name has to be? It could be more han 1 word...

yeah, it could be more than one word because in the first book he made one up to scare Durza... Du Sundavar Freohr or something like that... and maybe he'll discover how to turn energy into a power source? remember when he asked Oromis about that? like using a fire's energy as a power source.

I think that the most likely explanation of the title is, like ice said, it's his true name. Best thing i can think of.

yeah, but a lot of people say that it's already the true name of fire, so it can't be it... though it could be... I personally think the idea's not too bad.

With Eragons magic being blue and being the strongest of a certain element, I don't think thats really wrong, but maybe his element isn't fire. It could be water. Saphira was more or less able to breath uner water, right? And with the magic being blue, and Saphira being blue, that is more likely. Or maybe its air....I guess we'll find out in 4 months (more or less for some)
