Love the Emperyean series and looking for a baby name? We compiled options from throughout the series!
*SPOILERS AHEAD* for Fourth Wing (FW), Iron Flame (IF), and Onyx Storm (OS). We added brief reference notes with each name, which may contain spoilers if you haven’t read all the books yet.
Divided by gender based on the books(as best we could guess if it wasn’t clear), but many of these would make amazing names for children of any gender!
