Did Lyanna know?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site so I'm very sorry if my questions have already been answered or are really obvious and I've missed something.
I wanted to know, did Lyanna know that Rhaegar was dead? Was she aware of the events of Robert's Rebellion?
I assumed she knew for the following reason:
When she asked Ned to promise her, was she only asking him to care for her child? Or asking him to keep his identity a secret as well? I presume the latter. Which makes me wonder, why would she want his identity to be kept a secret if she assumes the father is still alive? Surely she must think him dead.
Secondly, if she knew Rhaegar was dead, (and I hope I'm right in thinking that he had been away from her for some time), did they choose the name Aegon together? Or did she name the baby Aegon as a sort of tribute to the man she loves, who she now knows is dead? That might be one reason as to why Rhaegar had two children both with the same name.
Am I right in thinking that Ned had said that she wanted to be buried in the crypt along with her brother and father? In which case, she was aware of their deaths, so maybe she was aware of Rhaegar's death as well.
If I'm terribly wrong, please let me know and put me straight!
Thanks guys
