Liking the Name Theon for a baby boy as 2 of the names on my list were Theo and Leon, but I wanted to find a name a little less popular, and although I like Theon.. I can't get passed the GoT association, would this put anyone else off??

@ElizabethMainwaring The first book was released in 1996 so it could absolutely be from Game of Thrones. It doesn't appear to be one that George RR has made up tho

It would put be off, I like Theo and don't mind Leon.

It just doesn't sound nice.

Theo or Leon are nice. Atm the GoT association will be made a lot and you never know what might happen in the final series.

I prefer Theo or Leon personally. Or Leo.

Nope. It’s not a good name at all
And far too GOT. Go for Leon

No no no

I know a Theon who is 13, so the name obviously predates GoT (which I've never seen). Didn't realise there was a connection. I'd go for it, it's a nice name and doesn't sound 'made up'.

Leon isn't super popular and is much nicer than Theon.

And no, I could never use a name that is so blatantly taken from GoT. I'd be embarrassed to tell people!

It's far too GOT to be useable I think.

Theo is a bit wet IMO, but Leon is great & I don't think it's that popular. I know Leo is, but Leon not so much.
