I just had a thought regarding Azor Ahai. Supposedly he was the legendary warrior to defeat the Others last time around, right? Well do you think his name is just a name or do you think it might have a significant meaning if translated into Westerosi? I dunno.

But his first and last names both begin with the letter A. If he is to reappear, will he have a name that translates as Azor Ahai? Will this new Azor Ahai's name have the same letters beginning his/her first and last names?

If so, then Jon Snow/Stark and Stannis Baratheon are out. I'm not an expert on vocal sounds, but the letter T is only a soft D... this might put Daenerys Targaryen into the running for Azor Ahai... we'd just need to see that the original name was Taenerys (much like Taena) but that it was hardened to fit in with Westerosi pronounciation.

Brandon Stark, Samwell Tarly and Aegon Targaryen do not work either.

Tyrion Lannister does not work. But if Tyrion was a Targaryen, then I confess that Tyrion Targaryen does work. Mayhaps TT=AA reborn.
