About how to train your dragon names

How to Train Your Dragon has three separate naming styles, and each one is easy to get wrong. Individual dragons on Berk are named by their riders, so the names are affectionate, blunt, and often ironic: Toothless (who has retractable teeth), Stormfly, Hookfang, Meatlug, Barf and Belch, Cloudjumper, Skullcrusher, Grump. They are one or two plain English words, never grand fantasy names. Dragon species, by contrast, get a two-word Viking-field-guide label with an adjective plus a coined noun: Deadly Nadder, Monstrous Nightmare, Hideous Zippleback, Terrible Terror, Whispering Death, Catastrophic Quaken.

Vikings of Berk follow the rule Cressida Cowell set in the books: an unflattering first name (Hiccup, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Gobber, Mildew), because Vikings believe hideous names frighten off gnomes and trolls, plus either a patronymic surname (Jorgenson, Hofferson, Ingerman, Thorston, Haddock) or an epithet (Stoick the Vast, Alvin the Treacherous, Dagur the Deranged, Gobber the Belch). Alliteration is everywhere and the sillier the better.

This list mixes canon dragons, species, and Vikings with original names in each of the three styles. Choose the section that fits your character: a rider's dragon needs a fond nickname, a new species needs a two-word field-guide name, and a Viking OC needs a name that would make Stoick wince.

Tips for choosing a name

Name a rider's dragon after a habit, flaw, or a body part: Toothless, Meatlug, and Hookfang are all observations, not epic titles.
For a new dragon species, pair a scary adjective with an invented or unusual noun (Deadly Nadder, Whispering Death, Catastrophic Quaken) so it reads like a Book of Dragons entry.
Viking OCs get intentionally ugly or comic first names (Hiccup, Snotlout, Bogthistle) plus a -son or -dottir surname or an epithet like 'the Vast'.
Alliteration is the house style for Berk Vikings: Bjorn Bristlebeard, Phlegma the Fierce, Hoark the Haggard.
If your dragon is a Night Fury or Light Fury, keep the name short and soft (Toothless, Dart, Pouncer, Ruffrunner) rather than harsh.

Frequently asked questions

How are the dragons in How to Train Your Dragon named?

Riders name their own dragons with plain, affectionate, often ironic English words: Toothless, Stormfly, Hookfang, Meatlug, Cloudjumper. Species names are two-word field-guide labels such as Deadly Nadder or Monstrous Nightmare.

Why do the Vikings on Berk have such odd names?

In Cressida Cowell's books and the films, Vikings believe an ugly name scares off gnomes and trolls, which is why we get Hiccup, Snotlout, Fishlegs, and Ruffnut. Surnames are patronymics like Jorgenson or epithets like Stoick the Vast.

What are Toothless and the Light Fury's babies called?

The three Night Lights are named Dart, Pouncer, and Ruffrunner; they appear in Homecoming and the end of The Hidden World.

Can I use these names for my HTTYD OC or fan fiction?

The original names here are free to use for OCs, roleplay, and fan works. Canon names like Toothless or Hiccup Haddock belong to DreamWorks and Cressida Cowell and are listed for reference.
