I've seen more fantasy that either uses real-but-obscure/archaic names, or else names that definitely can't be mistaken for slightly typoed real ones. Eugenides Alaric Hildebrand Genevieve or else Malik Karsa Voon, not halfway in between. I think that's the point of the secret, anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

Malik looks like a real name to me.

[(Anonymous)]

It is. Indian/South Asian of some sort.

[(Anonymous)]

Beg your pardon, Arabic, apparently. The Indian people I know named that were probably of Muslim heritage.

[badass_tiger]

Yep, definitely Arabic. Means 'king'.

There's Tamora Pierce's Daine. Which I would use as a child's middle name in a heartbeat if I didn't hesitate to condemn her to a lifetime of people assuming it's misspelled.

Actually, quite a few of the GoT/ASoIaF names are real-but-obscure/archaic names. Eddard is a genuine old spelling of 'Edward', for example, from the days when spelling wasn't standardised and the same man could be 'Eddard', 'Edward' and 'Eadward' on three different documents. Catelyn is one of the roughly two dozen possible spellings of 'Caitlin'. Petyr isn't any of the usual variations on 'Peter', but then again there are about six dozen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_(given_name)) of those.

Standardised spellings of names was a bit variable depending on the time and place involved.

There are quite a few names that are archaic in the show and it shouldn't be a surprise because people in the real world too used to have some strange names. (I'm not bothered by them tho)
