How to Create a Targaryen-Style Name
There is no single formula you have to follow. A useful creative approach is to combine a smooth opening sound with a clear ending, then read the result aloud. If it is hard to say after two tries, simplify it.
1. Start with a Valyrian-style opening
Openings such as Vae-, Rhae-, Ae-, Mae-, and Dae- can create the right fantasy tone. Treat these as creative sound patterns, not strict rules of High Valyrian grammar.
2. Choose an ending that fits the character
Short endings make a name feel direct. Longer endings can sound more ceremonial. Try forms such as -or, -ys, -ion, -ella, -yra, or -ora, then adjust the spelling until the name reads smoothly.
3. Keep related names consistent
If several characters belong to the same family, repeat one or two sounds instead of making every name completely different. That gives the group a shared identity without making the names interchangeable.
