How Targaryen names work

Targaryen names are High Valyrian, and you can hear it: the ae in Aemon and Daenerys, the rh in Rhaenys and Rhaegar, the y and x that make a name look like it was carved in old stone. The family reuses its names, so a new prince is often named after a grandfather, and history tells them apart with an epithet: the Conqueror, the Unworthy, the Dragonbane. Bastards born near King's Landing take the surname Waters. Describe your character, their rank and their dragon, and the generator writes original names that fit the house.

5 tips for naming a Targaryen character

  1. Use Valyrian letters

    Ae, y, rh and x do most of the work. Rhaelys, Vaeron and Daenella sound like the blood of Old Valyria before you know who they are.

  2. Echo a family name

    Targaryens name children after ancestors. A name one sound away from a royal name, or a shared name with a number, feels like it belongs on the family tree.

  3. Add an epithet

    History remembers Targaryens by their nicknames. The Gilded, the Twice-Burned or the Sleepless says more than the name itself.

  4. Name the dragon too

    Dragon names are harsher than people's: hard x and r sounds, or English words like fyre and wing. A rider and a dragon should sound like a pair.

  5. Stay original

    Aegon, Daenerys and Rhaenyra are taken. Change the sound, not just a letter, so readers meet your character instead of a famous one.
