How names work in Westeros

Names in Westeros tell you where a character was born and where they stand. Northern names are short and hard (Rickard, Lyanna), Dornish ones flow (Arianne, Quentyn), Valyrian ones are full of ae and y (Daenerys, Aegon), and the Iron Islands favor harsh sounds (Balon, Euron). Noble houses carry a seat, a sigil and words; a bastard gets the surname of the region instead: Snow, Sand, Rivers, Flowers, Hill, Pyke, Stone, Storm or Waters. Describe your character, region and rank, and the generator writes original names that fit the world.

5 tips for naming a Game of Thrones character

  1. Start with the region

    Each kingdom has its own sound: hard Northern names, flowing Dornish ones, Valyrian vowels. Decide where your character was born before you name them.

  2. Twist a real name

    Westeros names are often real names one letter off: Eddard from Edward, Petyr from Peter. It is the easiest way to sound right.

  3. Use the bastard surnames

    Snow in the North, Sand in Dorne, Rivers in the Riverlands, Flowers in the Reach, Hill in the Westerlands, Pyke on the Iron Islands, Stone in the Vale, Storm in the Stormlands, Waters near King's Landing.

  4. Give a house words

    A great house needs a seat, a sigil and words. Winter Is Coming tells you more about the Starks than their name does.

  5. Stay original

    A name too close to a famous character makes readers think of them. Change the sound, not just a letter.

Most are original. A few bastard examples use canon names to show the pattern; the generator itself writes new names.
