All your comments are fair enough. I haven't decided anything. I agree, Tyrion does come off rather trendeigh. I thought that Rickon, Theon, Renly, and Jorah sounded the most like real names, and them being more minor characters in the show I thought the reference wouldn't be such a big deal. Good idea to look for real names with sound elements similar to those names.

I know these GoT names are really "out there" but there are several real names I've suggested that my family and friends see as just as wild and bizarre (i.e. Llyr, Caspian, Ruarc, Rudyard, Alaric).

Picking a name is hard (when there are two people who have to agree!).
