Mortal Instruments is a 6 book fantasy novel series by Cassandra Clare. The movie, Mortal Instruments: City of Bones was released in 2013, followed by the TV series Shadowhunters. The first series follows a similar story line to the movie, but it’s still exciting, and action packed.

Magnus is a key character in the show and has lived since the 17^th century, even though he appears young in the show.

He has helped mundanes, werewolves, vampires, faeries, witches, warlocks and shadowhunters. If your pooch is brave, kind and powerful hero, then Magnus will be the perfect name!

Magnus is the name of actor Dylan Sprouse’s Dwarf English Bulldog. Sprouse is famous for starring in the Disney channel show, The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. Sprouse initially bought Magnus with his model girlfriend, Dayna Frazer, when they lived together in Brooklyn. The celebrity couple broke up in August 2017, so Magnus sadly had to deal with the separation of his human mummy and daddy. Magnus has his own Instagram page, and his Insta name is Magnusthedwarf. This pooch is truly magical, with over 120,000 followers and his listed occupations include being an actor, a dancer, a dreamer, a model, a photographer and an artist. His pictures date back from his very first picture to pictures of him sporting a red doggy raincoat, to videos of him running around, playing, chasing and jumping on his owner.

The name Magnus, is of Latin origin and means ‘Great, or Big’. This suits the character of Magnus, as he plays a big role in Shadowhunters, and he is a great warlock. Magnus is a great moniker for your new pooch, who we are sure has a warm heart. Read on for further Shadowhunters name inspiration for your four-legged friend.

Shadowhunters Inspired Dog Name Considerations

Shadowhunters provides us with lots of inspiration because within the book, TV show and movie there are many characters, places, and magical creatures. There are plenty of heroes and villains that we can relate to or feel drawn to. Heroic shadowhunters like Alec and Isabelle are easy choices. Max is also a good choice of name as he is the cute and highly trained brother of Isabelle and Alec. Valentine could also be a good choice of name, inspired by the antagonist, Valentine Morgenstern, who is Clary’s father and also an evil shadowhunter.

Downworlders might also motivate your name selection. You might feel inspired by Louis, an ancient vampire or Raphael, who leads the New York Vampires in the TV show. There are also faerie creatures that might inspire you too, like Meliorn, a faerie knight, or werewolves like Woolsey, or Justine who loses her life in the Mortal Battle. Maybe your pooch is a princess and you can name her after the seelie princess, Nerissa. You could even seek angelic inspiration!

You can also consider your dog’s personality when choosing a name. If your pooch is feisty, you might call him Jace, or if she is brave you could name her Maia after the feisty bar worker and werewolf. Clary has beautiful red hair, so maybe this would be the perfect name for your red-coated canine.

There are lots of considerations to make, so jot down your favorite choices from the list below and choose carefully!
