I rework a lot of names in my IPA... if there is a silly name or one that doesn't sound real, I change it... I also rework names to insure that ethnic teams like Taranto (Italian heritage) have some Italians on the team... Stark is one of the non-Italians on the team.
Which show was that? I looked up Ned Stark but I'm only getting Game of Thrones references.

I change all of the players' names in my IPA to tv show/movie characters that I like, or names of real athletes. I even use names of some of my favorite composers or musicians as well. The first time I did took me several days, with 80 teams in my league. I also adjust the ratings of really bad players. Now with each passing season it doesn't take too long, it's only about 20-25 each offseason that I need to update.
