Theon? Never come across it before but a friend's sister just named her baby this and I wondered if anyone knew of it?

Oh dear. No.

For real?

It's a Game of Thrones character. He gets his penis chopped off in season 4 or 5.

Shadow1986 · 02/06/2016 17:53

Yes Game of Thrones...assuming she doesnt watch it as this as he would be an unusual choice of character to name your baby after.

Primaryteach87 · 02/06/2016 17:54

Oh dear. Yes really terrible connotations - torture, skinned alive, etc

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 02/06/2016 18:05

Oh blimey. Yes, for real. I was wondering if it had an interesting meaning or something because I'd never come across it and I hear a lot of different interesting names through my job. Wasn't expecting that, though... Never seen Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones character who goes through a very hard time.

Gets nicknamed Reek by his torturer.

It's an ancient Greek name but most people with associate it with Game of Thrones.

SwearyInn · 02/06/2016 18:24

Sounds like an elementary particle. If he/she had a sibling you could call them a muon, or Higgs-boson.

OverAndAbove · 02/06/2016 18:29

Yes perhaps one of the parents is a classical scholar? You have to hope...

everdene · 02/06/2016 18:30

Nooooo! Why would anyone name their child after a character in an ONGOING series?!

How's it pronounced? I knew of someone called Tea-on years before GOT.

NeedACleverNN · 02/06/2016 19:15
