Game Of Thrones was and still is a widely acclaimed TV series based on the George R. R. Martin books. Although there is a still a lot of debate about the 8th series (lets not go there as I'm still recovering from it).
Its particularly interesting as their were 6 dire wolves in the series which were all named and also featured in some of the shows. It may seem a bit obvious to name your own dog after one of these but die hard fans will probably like this.
In case you do not want to look through the list later they are as follows with the person who adopted them after their mother was killed
Ghost (adopted by Jon)
Grey Wind (adopted by Rob)
Lady (adopted by Sansa)
Nymeria (adopted by Arya)
Shaggydog (adopted by Rickon)
Summer (adopted by Bran)
Jon Snow and Ghost – Wons Noj [CC BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)]
Anyway if you have a new male or female dog and you are a fan of the series then there is a lot of inspiration you can get for picking a name for your dog. In this article we present a list of names and also a little explanation for some of the names as well.
