Do you recognise this name?

[LadyMonicaBaddingham]

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

I like it, but didn't know it was a Game of Thrones character or what happens to him. I also know of a baby Khaleesi (sp?) which I think is a GoT character but it's a horrible name.

GOT character, shame because I like the name but he's another shitty horrible character

Theon is quite an OK character as GoT goes I think lol. But he does have his penis chopped off and sent to his family in a presentation gift box.

Theo is nice as an alternative - I have one of these myself.

I don't know GoT but thought Ffion when I saw the OP.

Khaleesi is not a name, but a title (wife of Khal). Daenerys nn Dani is a beautiful name, but I like Emilia more.
With Theon it is probably wise to chop off "n", just to be on the safe side. Lol at "avoid Ramsey".

I think giving a baby a Game of Thrones name is the naffest thing ever.

Its an ancient Greek name meaning 'Godly'.

I met a Ramsay in the playground the other day, he was about 6 so probably not GOT related. Poor parents though, how annoying to pick a nice name and then have everyone think mad rapey flaying man.

Prefer Hodor myself

Oh dear. He's a character in GoT who gets his penis chopped off.

Khaleesi makes me cringe, too. It's a title, not a name. It's like calling your DD Princess or Duchess.

There was something like 164 Khaleesi's registered in the UK last year.

I hope they didn't all think they were going for a unique name...

I like the name but agree with GoT references.

I do however want to call future baby ds Thorin. (The hobbit). Dh disagrees. We'll see.

I know of a woman who's grandson was named Tyrion. She had never watched GOT so wasn't aware of the character.

When I mentioned I was a fan she asked me to explain the character. I changed the subject as I didn't fancy explaining he was an alcoholic lechorous dwarf. At least his character has improved now.

Never heard of it and on hearing it's a Gane Of Thrones name I wouldn't use it BUT aside from that I quite like it! I've always liked Leon, Leon and Theo so Theon ticks the same boxes.

Leo*, Leon and Theo.

Theon is the shortened version of Theodore and means godly.

Has no one ever heard of Theodore Roosevelt?

I really like the name, wouldn't ever use it though because of the the whole turn coat, child murdering, willy chopping thing.

I thought his nn was Teddy not Theon Poverty

I've worked with a female Theona.
Not theon though

PovertyPain: Theo is the usual shortening of Theodore. I know 4 Theodores but all have the nickname Theo, I don't think Theon is a usually shortening.

I actually really like the name Theon. And I watch game of thrones not such a great character but it's a nice sounding name.

Meh in a few years time nobody will even remember GoT.

Theo is the usual shortening of Theodore, at least nowadays, but as Beryl says, Theodore Roosevelt was nicknamed Teddy. Hence teddy bears, after a story published after Roosevelt had been out hunting the animals in 1902.

Nooooo!! Of all characters lol
