He’s certain that he’s the only one who visits Jeyne Poole, and that’s almost achingly sad. She’s not Arya; she’s just a steward’s girl. No one would have even cared if they had known the truth.

Jeyne.
[ It rhymes with pain. She would be glad to hear her true name said aloud, just as he’s been so glad to hear his own. ]

Lord Ramsay’s lady wife. The North thinks her to be Arya Stark.
