About httyd viking names
Viking names in How to Train Your Dragon follow one rule that Hiccup states in the first minute of the film: a hideous name frightens off gnomes and trolls. That is why the Hairy Hooligans of Berk are called Hiccup, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Gobber and Spitelout rather than Harald or Ingrid. Cressida Cowell's books push it even further with Baggybum the Beerbelly, Dogsbreath the Duhbrain, Mogadon the Meathead and Norbert the Nutjob. The joke is an insult or bodily-function word bolted onto a perfectly serious Norse surname or epithet.
There are three working formats. Film and series Berkians mostly use a first name plus a family name ending in -son or -man: Haddock, Hofferson, Jorgenson, Ingerman, Thorston, Larson, Grimborn. Chiefs, elders and villains take an epithet instead, always 'the' plus an alliterating or contrasting adjective: Stoick the Vast, Gobber the Belch, Dagur the Deranged, Oswald the Agreeable, Alvin the Treacherous. The books add mock-heroic titles such as Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, Hope and Heir of the Hairy Hooligans, and tribe names like Bog-Burglars, Meatheads and Uglithugs.
This list mixes canon characters from the films, the TV series and the books with original names built the same way: silly Norse first names, Berk-style surnames, epithets for chiefs and outlaws, and clan or tribe names for a whole OC family.
Tips for choosing a name
- Build an OC name the Berk way: a slightly embarrassing first name (Gorm, Hedda, Bork, Flemma) plus a real-sounding Norse surname, or a gross compound like Bogsworth or Tallowfist. Snotlout Jorgenson is the template.
- For chiefs, elders and villains, drop the surname and add an epithet that either alliterates (Stoick the Stubborn) or contradicts the character (Oswald the Agreeable was a Berserker chief).
- Decide which tribe your character is from before you name them. Hooligans sound plain and blunt, Berserkers and Outcasts get menacing epithets, and book-style tribes like the Bog-Burglars are almost all women with names like Camicazi and Bertha.
- Keep Norse patronymics for flavor (Eret, Son of Eret; Egil Skallagrimsson) but do not overuse them; Berk mostly uses fixed family names, so an OC named Haddock, Hofferson or Ingerman reads as a relative of a canon character.
- If you want a name that could sit next to Hiccup's in a cast list, say it in Gobber's voice. If it does not sound like a shout across a dragon arena, it is too pretty.
Frequently asked questions
Why do How to Train Your Dragon Vikings have such weird names?
In both the books and the films, Berkians believe a hideous name scares off gnomes and trolls, so parents deliberately choose names like Hiccup, Snotlout and Fishlegs. It is a running joke that also makes the cast instantly memorable.
What are the main Viking surnames in HTTYD?
The film and series families are Haddock (Hiccup, Stoick, Valka), Hofferson (Astrid), Jorgenson (Snotlout, Spitelout), Ingerman (Fishlegs), Thorston (Ruffnut and Tuffnut), Larson (Gustav) and Grimborn (Viggo, Ryker). Chiefs and villains usually use epithets such as 'the Vast' or 'the Deranged' instead.
How do I name an HTTYD OC so it fits with the canon characters?
Pick a blunt one- or two-syllable first name with a comic edge, then either a Berk-style surname or a 'the [Adjective]' epithet. Avoid elegant fantasy names; Hiccup's world rewards names like Hedda Hogsbane or Bork the Bewildered over Aelyndra Moonshadow.
Are the book names different from the movie names?
Yes. Cressida Cowell's books feature Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, Fishlegs No-Name, Snotface Snotlout, Camicazi, Valhallarama, Old Wrinkly and villains like Alvin the Treacherous and Norbert the Nutjob, plus tribes such as the Bog-Burglars and Meatheads. Both sets are included here.
