Thinking of names for a possible son, and I cant get past a name I love, and I like no other names. However, it is a name which if people watch the show will immediately make the connection. He's not a major character, but I've not heard of any other person with that name!
Would you eyeroll and judge? Or would you not even think about it?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Theon? Not the first thread about that name if so. I really wouldn’t.

Now, if it was Cassian from Rogue One I would totally go for that.

My dd had a name from Home and Away well back in the day!! The character is long gone!! Never gave it a thought then or now tbh.

I wouldn't worry.
After I had ds2 everyone asked me if I got the name from some show (can't even remember the name of it now) that everyone was watching.
Ide never seen the show and just picked the name coz we liked it.

If it's a made up GOT name then no. If it's something like Dexter, it's completely acceptable.
