Game of Thrones dog names - tips

Praise the old gods and the new – we've just finished our quest for Game of Thrones dog names. Whether you've already claimed the perfect name or you're still journeying through the Seven Kingdoms for ins-paw-ration, we've got your back (unlike some GOT characters). To help you out, here are some dragon-fueled tips to guide you on this epic naming quest...

Before crowning your pup with a name, delve into their majestic personality and extraordinary traits. Do they possess the bravery of a true Stark? Then bestow upon them a name like Arya or Ghost. Or maybe they're as cunning as a Lannister, in which case names like Tyrion or Cersei would suit them perfectly. Let the spirit of Westeros guide you to one of these dog names from Game of Thrones that echoes their true greatness.

We also recommend choosing a name that’s easy to say. Specifically, it's easy to shout across the park! Stick to one syllable if you can, and make sure it doesn’t sound like common commands like ‘sit’ or ‘stay’. That’ll simply result in one confused pup.

No matter which Game of Thrones dog name you choose, we're confident you’ll bend the knee with joy, either when attaching their leash or filling up their bowl. Winter is coming, and with it, a legendary name awaits.

Got a trip planned but can’t bring your four-legged friend along? Whether it’s a summer vacation or a weekend away for work, we’re sure “finding a dog sitter near me” is top of your to-do list! Travel with peace of mind with the help of a loving in-house pet sitter, who will give your precious pooch all the care and attention they need from the comfort of your very own home.
