Other than Asha (Yara) and Jeyne Westerling (Talisa).. the only other name-change I've noticed is Vargo Hoat. While he still has a lisp, he is called Llocke in the show and is a bannerman of Roose Bolton. I think it needed that twist in order to make a few other minor plot points work for TV.

I've found that Season 3 is, by far, the best so far. They've stuck pretty true to the books other than a few minor plot changes, as the 'thul beings mentioned... and the actors have REALLY come in to their characters.
