Targaryen Name Generator

House Targaryen names come from Old Valyria, and George R. R. Martin gave them a consistent sound that sets the dragonlords apart from the Starks, Lannisters and Baratheons of Westeros. Almost every Targaryen name uses the ae vowel cluster (Aegon, Daemon, Rhaenyra, Jaehaerys) or a similar doubled vowel, and most end in one of a handful of Valyrian suffixes: -ys for both sexes (Viserys, Daenerys, Aerys, Jacaerys), -on for men (Aegon, Daeron, Maegor is the exception), -a or -ra for women (Visenya, Rhaena, Rhaella) and -or, -ar or -yx (Baelor, Maekar, Aelyx). Names also recur across generations, so a family tree will hold several Aegons, Viseryses and Rhaenyses at once.

Because so many names repeat, Targaryens are told apart by epithets: Aegon the Conqueror, the Unworthy, the Unlikely; Jaehaerys the Conciliator; Maegor the Cruel; Daeron the Young Dragon; Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt. Cadet lines and bastards get their own surnames while keeping Valyrian first names, from Blackfyre and Bittersteel to Waters (crownlands bastards) and the Velaryons of Driftmark, who share Valyrian blood and naming (Corlys, Laenor, Laena, Jacaerys).

The list pairs canon Targaryens and their epithets with new names built on the same rules, so you can name a forgotten prince, a Dance-era dragonrider or the head of your own dragonlord house.
