To memorize a name we scan the person for a memorable feature which will become our memory hook. That can be basically any body part as well as clothes, tattoos and accessories. By thinking about that feature our brain will trigger the connected information.
Um einen Namen zu lernen suchen wir nach einer auffälligen Eigenschaft als Anker für unseren Gedächtnis. Das kann praktisch jedes Körperteil sein sowie Kleider, Tattoos und Accessoires. Denken wir an den Anker erinnern wir uns an die verknüpfte Information.

For each name we search for a phonetically similar word which is good to visualize. Aidan sounds like a aid and we imagine a first aid helicopter.
Für jeden Namen suchen wir ein phonetisch ähnliches Wort, was gut vorzustellen ist. Aidan klingt wie ein aid (Hilfe) und wir können uns ein Rettungshubschrauber vorstellen.
His family name Gillen sounds like the word gill. We can imagine some fish for that with red gills.
Sein Familienname Gillen klingt im Englischen genau wie gill was Kiemen heißt. Wir stellen uns dafür Fische vor.

The Memory Story
Connecting the memorable feature with the keywords for the names
Littlefinger is having problems breathing. Out of his mouth comes a fish with red gills. A helicopter comes to his aid. Did Arya Stark had something to do with that?
Petyr Baelish hat Probleme zu atmen. Aus seinem Mund kommt ein Fisch mit roten Kiemen (gills). Ein Rettungshubschrauber komm ihm zu Hilfe (aid).

My alternative story would be: I would focus on his mouth because he has a unique way when talking and he really doesn't open his mouth that much when saying words and I would imagine for Aidan-->aid+ant--> An ant giving the first aid
to a gillian (Gillen)
Gillians are "bad" souls in bleach ( an anime) so to help me give more meaning I would see the concept of the gillian suffering from the littlefinger's even worse soul.
Bonus tip! for resteeming this post. :)
Great story! You could say there is a Gillian living inside Littlefinger which would explain why he is such a mischievious character. And the ant comes and aids him inside his mouth (which is the place where the Gillian enters and leaves).

We all laughed when the medic opened his first aid kit and found the bright green rubber gills his son had in his bag the night before. :)
I think you made a classic rookie mistake or I misunderstand something: The main keyword is missing which is Littlefinger himself. If you don't connect the story to him it will not create a physical bridge with your brain cells.
What fires together, wires together.
You could create pretty much the same story but with Littlefinger instead of either the medic or the son.
Here your Bonus Tip! 0.2
Well is that assuming that little finger relevant to me? Meaning that I don't watch the show so I don't recognize him by that title? Would saying aiden instead be the same?
Well if you know the actor but not the character from Game of Thrones than you could imagine the real person. If you don't know either of them then you need to pick a feature in the face that somehow sticks out as your anchor.
What if I said, "Everyone laughed as Irishman opened his first aid kit and found the bright green rubber gills his son put into his bag the night before? Or as the actor?
The idea is that next time you see that person something reminds you of the name. So you hang your keywords to the moustache or the eyes for example. When you look at that you will hopefully remember the keywords for the names.
So this is anonymous. Could I say "Everyone laughed as anonymous opened his first aid kit and found the rubber gills his son put in his bag the other night.
It's just they I don't see any features in his face that stand out lol
I don't know: Does the Guy Fawkes mask remind you of Aidan Gillen and how he looksm like? If the answer is yes than this will be fine. If the answer is now than that is not help.
Okay cool lol

Littlefinger shaved his moustache with the aid of a gillette (razor)
and then hided back in the bushes! HA!
The mouth and the moustache was the hook for me and his second name reminds me the razors.
the bushes is for the fun of the story :)

Your number memorization chart remind me of the coding system I memorized while studying the postal delivery test preparation book. I would've had the job but I missed the email lol.
LOL
The Major System is a few hundred years old so maybe the postal delivery service picked up on that.
