15 Most Common ‘Game of Thrones’ Pet Names

With the recent Season 7 finale of Game of Thrones, we wanted to see if there were other die-hard pet parent fans out there. And, boy were there! PetFirst Pet Insurance tapped into their database of dogs and cats, and ranked the Top 15 Games of Thrones Pet Names. See if your favorite character made the list.
 
 

#15 – Joffrey

 
We all loathed Joffrey, so we can’t imagine naming any of our furry family after such a vile character. However, there are pet parents out there that can overlook such character flaws.

#14 – Jorah

 
We can totally see naming you dog or cat after a character that is completed devoted… even if he is a borderline stalker of Queen Daenarys. We’ve had pets that can’t let you out of their site, so I guess this is completely fitting.

#13 – Ramsay

 
If there is a character that embodies complete evil, it’s this guy. For those risky pet owners that chose this moniker for their pets, I’d be careful turning my back toward them.

#12 – Hodor

 
We can’t blame dog and cat owners for naming their pets after one of the most sweet, loveable and devoted characters on the show.

#11 – Cersei

 
While we truly believe she has ice running through her veins, we understand the allure of her name since it is quite beautiful. Hopefully, these pet owners have thick skin because, like Cersei, the claws will probably come out quite often.

#10 – Bran

 
He doubles as an animal, the three-eyed Raven, on the show, so it isn’t too far-fetched to think his name would be a great one for dogs and cats alike.

#9 – Brienne

 
She swore an oath to protect the Stark family, and she has been loyal to that oath ever since. We imagine many of our furry family members take their job as protectors just as seriously as Lady Brienne.

#8 – Jaime

 
With every passing season his character sways between the side of good and evil… and many of our pets possess a similar personality trait. So, it’s not surprising to see this Lannister at this spot in the ranks.

#7 – Tyrion

 
Though he may be small, he is smart and witty. A perfect personality combo for the family dog or cat. We enjoy the humor Tyrion brings to the small screen, but not as much as the silly things our pets do.

#6 – Jon Snow

 
When it seems like the Game of Thrones world is lost of anyone with honor and humility, Jon Snow reminds us that good always defeats evil (at least we are hoping for that end result). This heartthrob has not only won over pet parents, but also the Queen (who happens to be his aunt, and we are trying to forget that as much as possible).

#5 – Khal Drogo

 
Though he met an early demise, this strong, respected warrior’s name lives on with dogs and cats across the country. Like Drogo, we assume most of them also have a softer side.

#4 – Gilly

 
It was Gilly that really stole the show in Season 7, and you could have missed it if you weren’t watching carefully. This caring and loveable girl has turned into quite a lady with the help of Sam. We are guessing that is why her name is close to the top of the charts.

#3 – Sansa

 
While Sansa has had a rough road, she has finally managed to rise to the title of the Lady of Winterfell, which is why we are sure many dog and cat parents are naming their little ladies after her.

#2 – Khaleesi/Daenarys

 
She has not only conquered many lands in the Game of Thrones, she has conquered many fans’ hearts and they are paying homage to her by naming their dogs and cats after the Mother of Dragons.

#1
Arya
 
This girl has tons of grit and guts, and we’re so thankful she finally took Littlefinger out of the picture. We are guessing that, and because her name is beautiful, is why Arya ranks at the top of the list.
