Game of Thrones Name Generator

Game of Thrones names work because George R.R. Martin took real medieval names and nudged the spelling. Robert becomes Robb, Edward becomes Eddard, Katherine becomes Catelyn, Peter becomes Petyr, John stays Jon, Alice becomes Alys, and Rickard, Rodrik and Tommen all sit one letter away from familiar English names. That slight strangeness reads as old and foreign without becoming hard to pronounce. Northern names are Old English and Norse-flavoured (Torrhen, Cregan, Brandon, Wylla), the Reach and Riverlands lean Norman (Garlan, Leonette, Edmure, Roslin), and Dorne mixes Spanish and Rhoynish sounds (Arianne, Quentyn, Obara, Nymeria).

Valyrian names are the exception: Targaryens, Velaryons and Celtigars use ae, y and repeated vowels (Daenerys, Rhaenyra, Aemond, Jaehaerys, Laenor), and they reuse a small pool of dynastic names across generations. Bastards take a regional surname instead of a house name (Snow in the North, Rivers, Stone, Storm, Sand, Waters, Flowers, Hill, Pyke), and knights are styled Ser plus given name plus house or origin. Across the Narrow Sea, Essosi names go longer and stranger: Illyrio Mopatis, Hizdahr zo Loraq, Xaro Xhoan Daxos.

The list pairs first names with house surnames the way the books do, using both real minor characters and new combinations, so you can pull a lord, a bastard, a Kingsguard knight, a Dothraki rider or a Free Cities merchant for fan fiction, a Westeros RPG or a Game of Thrones themed party.
