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)
