Need help naming my dragon

[NewJeffCT]

OK, it's time for more help naming an NPC dragon for my D&D campaign.

This time, it's a powerful good dragon...

I'm again at a loss, but got a lot of good suggestions for my unicorn from here before - with Dark Tirade's "Dawn Strider" winning.

[geardaddy]

1. How about...

Y Ddraig Uffernol

(The Hellish Dragon)

[Bicoastal]

2. Is "Trogdor" already taken?

[AlCzervik]

3. Pookie or Debbie.

[NewJeffCT]

16. Or maybe Debi, so we can name it after a DUer

who probably won't even look at this thread.

[kwassa]

4. Puff, the Magic, the one that lives by the sea?

[NewJeffCT]

7. and frolicks in the autumn mist

in a land called hahna lee.

[kwassa]

10. yeah, that one!

[BeachBaby]

5. Is Leviathan too generic?

[NewJeffCT]

15. yes

I need a specific name, like Smaug or Vermithrax

[Orsino]

17. But Leviathan should be one of a dragon's many titles...

...with which it boasts just before dining on PC. The Leviathan, the Scourge, the Terror--these are all names which ought to come attached to whatever real name a dragon has. If there is an oldest language in your game world, your dragon's name should carry a hint of that flavor. Make it hard to pronounce, but only just, as you'll want the players to remember it for a long time.

And, as always, please follow up to let us know what name you pick.

[DarkTirade]

6. My 'pet dragon' on facebook is named Krathling the Meek.

:)

I like using titles that one wouldn't think of using to describe something, hence my use of 'the Meek' as the name for a fierce, firebreathing dragon.

Hmm... let's see if I can come up with a few

Arakkar the Rich for a dragon fond of hoarding.
Lotario the Quick for a smallish dragon.
Scrimira the Slimy for a wyrm of some kind perhaps.
Ynas the Great for a dragon so powerful he doesn't need a long complicated name. :)

And a few without titles
Tgorath
Lkhile

[NewJeffCT]

8. Arakkar isn't bad

I'll have to see what DU can come up with today, though.

[Inchworm]

9. Tharz'blu

:P

[Inchworm]

38. ignore check

beYatch lolz

:D

[BeachBaby]

11. Grendel. n/t.

[Sony65]

12. "NOGARD"

Trust me, It's creative. ;)

[NewJeffCT]

13. welcome to DU

thanks for the chuckle!

[Sony65]

18. No prob.

Hope to post more often.

[madinmaryland]

14. How about "drain-the"?

:rofl:

[flvegan]

19. Is Tiamat too cliche?

[NewJeffCT]

21. yes

and, every D&D player in the world probably knows it as well - so, it's not too original.

[quip]

20. Stop your search: "Unit" Everyone will be impressed with your draggin' unit!

:rofl:

[DS1]

22. Thermopylae

[DS1]

23. Hillary Clinton

[flvegan]

26. He said "a powerful, GOOD dragon"

[NewJeffCT]

40. I thought about asking my wife if I could use her Chinese name

as the name of the dragon...

[DarkTirade]

32. He's trying to run a campaign, not scare the crap out of the players...

:P

[DS1]

24. Nexium

[crispini]

51. LOL! nt

[DS1]

25. SPF 3 Brazillion

[madinmaryland]

31. How much is that?

[DS1]

27. Miles O'Toole

[Deja Q]

28. Fygar

As seen here, the green dragon:

[nuxvomica]

45. Greatest. Video game. Ever.

:bounce:

[Lyric]

29. Is it a male or a female dragon? What metal color is it?

If it's a big male, I'd name it Priax. If a female, Nyloria.

[NewJeffCT]

50. could be either

haven't decided yet.

[Blue-Jay]

30. Dave.

Dave the Dragon.

[DarkTirade]

33. For a dragon, that's the kind of name that shows an overabundance of confidence.

Doesn't need any Xs or Zs or apostrophes... doesn't need lots of syllables or hard-to-pronounce combinations of consonants... just plain Dave. If a dragon goes by the name of Dave, you know that dragon isn't afraid of ANYONE.

That's like the dragon equivalent of walking into a biker bar and ordering a virgin Shirley Temple. With a little umbrella in it.

[DS1]

34. I'd go with Mike

Mike sounds like a decent guy

[DarkTirade]

46. But for a dragon...

that sounds scary as fuck.

[NewJeffCT]

56. Might not work here

I'd prefer something along the lines of Tyranthraxus or something equally menacing.

[DS1]

35. Mr. Crisp

[DS1]

36. Redstone

[NewJeffCT]

37. has potential

:evilgrin:

[distantearlywarning]

39. Randheim. n/t

[YankeyMCC]

41. Exú

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exu

I learned about this mythical figure while reading the SF Novel "Brasyl"

[Shine]

42. "Justice Bringer"

there's that, or "Barney" :D

[NewJeffCT]

55. Justice Bringer sounds like a good ending

Jeff the Justice Bringer

[nuxvomica]

43. Pendaflex

I dunno. It sounds like a dragon and a very organized one at that.

[Shine]

44. Fyre Majick

:thumbsup:

[FloridaJudy]

47. "Fangorion"

I'm into weird puns.

[Fox Mulder]

48. I like "Drogon"

:shrug:

Or "Rhaegar"

[Papi]

49. Godzilla

A little scary but hey, I'm the first one to suggest it. :-)

[NewJeffCT]

52. hmm, sounds familiar

maybe i'll try something else.

[Pacifist Patriot]

53. Aidcoliam, Colaidiam, Licoldan, Liadincol

Yes, I'm screwing with my kid's names.

Hmmm, now that I look at them combined it makes me think of anti-itch creams. Puzzling that one.

[BreweryYardRat]

54. What color is it? n/t

[krispos42]

57. Thrax

Dunno, just popped into my head. Probably a literary reference surfacing from the bottom of my brain.
