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.

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

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