Game of Thrones Inspired Baby Names and Pet Names

Are you a fan of the massively popular HBO series Game of Thrones? Then why not name your baby or pet after one of it's uniquely named characters?

Many parents increasingly opt for unique or rare names for their babies. This choice can be driven by the desire to give their child a distinctive identity that stands out in a crowd. Unique names can be seen as a form of self-expression for parents, reflecting their tastes and values. Furthermore, a rare name can confer a sense of uniqueness and individuality on a child, potentially fostering confidence and independence as they grow. However, naming children after beloved TV characters has become a notable trend among parents who are pop culture fans, and one of them is Game of Thrones, which offers a treasure trove of distinctive and memorable names. Whether it’s the strength of Arya, the nobility of Tyrion, or the resilience of Sansa, each name from the series can offer a deep sense of identity and heritage to your child or pet.

Names.org released a study showing a Sharp Increase in Babies Named After Game of Thrones Characters using the most recent data from the U.S. Social Security Administration. The study compares babies born in 2011, the year the show debuted, against babies born in 2017, the latest data available from the U.S. Social Security Administration. As you'll see, the popularity of the fictional names and GOT nicknames for babies has increased.
