Meaning and background
The story behind Aegon
Aegon has a clear place in George R. R. Martin’s fictional history: Fire and Blood opens its Targaryen story with Aegon the Conqueror, associated with the creation of the Iron Throne. That gives the spelling a documented fantasy reference, rather than a verified everyday translation. For a dog, the appeal may be the particular character or the broader dragonlord setting. Decide which association you want to explain, and choose a household pronunciation before printing the name on a tag.
