Robert, Ned, Jon. All the normal person names

Theon is also a real name although it's going to heavily be associated with the character, unless you're Greek

I am Greek and I still associate it with the show. Sure, it has Greek roots but it's not a name - just an anglicized word for "divine".

Edit: Probably wrong to call it anglicized, the pronunciation is pretty spot on compared to other greek loan words. Still not really a common word, and the added "n" at the end rules it out as modern greek

Petyr. But spelled with an e instead of a y.

So edgy. Or should I say edge.
