Shirosai 12-11-05, 12:52 AM	Not sure if this goes here, but since it's about a "monster"... I need some help naming a black dragon that is going to be in the campaign. Could anyone help with this? Some ideas for names? Some examples? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. :D

For dragons, I like using the long names setting (consonant heavy names tend not to be long enough to my taste) within the first tab.
Silverthumb128 12-11-05, 03:27 AM	Rokk'tashan could be used for about any dragon, I'd say. Meh, I just like to make up names. :D
DangerDre 12-11-05, 04:28 AM	There is a D&D book of Dragons. I forget the name. Dragonology. .. Book of Dragons... Dracology. ... Draconatomy. Draconomica. I forget. Tells you stuff about dragons. Eggs shells. Nests. to bariel grounds. Cool book Even tells you about names for specific align and collored Dragons. If I recall, Because Dragons are so intelligent, they have really long names, that are imposible to pronounce to humans. Like.. Rgeszhoulhqrsoiskagkahaavgn. And then they will have Human translation which they choose themselves. Gresz'Kahaan ... remember humans can give nicknames to famous dragons too. And humans often make mistakes about Dragons. Rumours and myths mistaken for fact. Like Dragons eat cows. Or Dragons take there treasure with them when they die. True for both. But Dragons also eat metal. And they eat their treasure before they die. Which will mean a human will find a dead dragons cave empty!!

kajinoryu 12-11-05, 09:01 AM	Acid Burn always struck me as a black dragon name (or one pronouncable by non-draconic speakers)

Of course, the character who's perspective the story is in cannot pronouce it, and so calls the black dragon "Jim" (a perverted ending of the dragon's name, from "yim" to "Jim").
LeadMagnet 12-12-05, 12:39 AM	Tragdor the Acidinator :D
Silverthumb128 12-12-05, 12:45 AM	Tragdor the Meltinator :D Fixed. :D Sorry, I just like Meltinator more.
Reighnhell 12-12-05, 12:52 AM	I tend to go for names that are easy to pronounce but still carry a sinister sound. I have used the following as Dragon names in some of my campaigns. Vigil Vast Xis Kranner Raal
Khalarak Ironclaw 12-12-05, 01:29 PM	okay, here's the names from the Draconomicon, going from Wyrmling to Great Wyrm. Blight Kurnoc Jurlfalud Myastanaklon Munwithurix Haldulfvinemmonis Eliinwyluwyther Twohvritturnuroth Iyriddelmirev Keygrodokkerrhylon Bluutsvilvarrt Eribonyxtaliff As you can see, there's a bit of a bell curve as far as length goes...they start off simple, when the dragon first hatches, but rapidly gain syllables as the beast's ego grows. When its in its middle age it has a nigh-unpronounceable name to make certain that other dragons take notice, and then as it ages and becomes better-known, it lets syllables drop off because it no longer needs an impressive name; the creature itself is famous and fearsome enough. By the way, that whole last paragraph was pure speculation on my part. The only thing from the Draconomicon was the names...

It's all in the same language (except for some of the wyrmlings)
