Is it strange that House Flint has so many branch families? The mountain clan Flints, the Widow’s Watch, and the Flints Finger Flints. Are they all part of the same family, or are they breakaway families like the Karstarks? Why don’t we see that more with other Northern houses?

They might be, they might not.

My theory is that Flint was a ubiquitous first name among the First Men, their equivalent to John Smith or what have you.
