I have done some reading that the Anglo Norman culture developed after the invasion of England by William and that Old Norman culture was still being used in Sicily and Antioch. The Norman culture in game is based on Anglo-Norman but it feels odd when you play as the Sicilian Hauteville because some of the names (like William) feel out of place.

I think what you mean is that Norman names aren't culturally localized (William == Williame)? Because Norman DOES NOT equate with Anglo-Norman

Yeah, I think that Norman in game is Old Norman, and Anglo-Norman isn't really represented per se, except as the way Anglo-Saxons ruled by Normans can flip to English.

Incidentally, if you're high-stewardship, they're more likely to flip to Norman and stay Norman.
