Does the new book help with naming dragons?

Anyways I need some names for dragons, all the Cromatics, and Metallic dragons don't really care about others.

If anybody knows a website that has a list of names for dragons, or a dragon name generator that would be greatly appreciated.

Like I said just need names for the Red, Blue, Green, Black, White, Copper, Brass, Bronze, Silver, and Gold Dragons.

Thank you to all and any that helps me out.

I was once starting a fantasy novel based in Forgotten Realms, and one of the characters was a dragonrider, whose mount was a Colossal Chrystal Dragon named Khadarmemnon or Khadar in short for friends.

When thinking up dragon names, I generally think of each syllable seperately, then spread then around a little bit then add apostrophes and accents as I sit fit.
Most of the time names sound stupid. but sometimes you come up with a winner :D

IMC:
Kaluteh'nor (Cal*you*eth -- nor)
Erebus'slythe (air*boos*sly*eth)
Asmir'nor (As*meer*nor)

I use a naming scheme too, thus all green dragons are of the species Tachy'chin'nor (Tock*ee*chun*nor) and have name ending in 'nor

Perhaps this might help. My Tarterian Dragon is named the Wyrmlord Trichaderion.

I'm using a Half Shadow Dragon/ Fang Dragon who's named Tyran'trill, althought he goes by Trill he is known as the bringer of plagues he's got levels as a Vermin Lord and Cancer Mage.


Also there is another very powerful dragon I'm using named Haladen he is a Bronze dragon with a few levels as cleric.

Draconomicon has dozens of sample names (one dozen for each type of metallic and chromatic dragon, to be exact). They tend to be very long and complex.

Yes.

1) There are something like 120 example dragons (chromatics and metallics of each color and age category). Each of them have unique names, and actually come with a bit of a description to help flesh them out.

2) There is a draconic language primer which can be used to help give dragons meaningful names in their own language.

If you can find it somewhere, Dragon Magazine issue 260 has a nifty random name generator designed specifically for dragons written by Owen K.C. Stephens. The name fragments also give possible meanings to the name. All and all the names seem to be fairly consistent with the draconic names from WotC products and the website, for example you could easily generate most if not all the names from the FR Wyrms of the North articles.

The name the halflings gave one dragon is 'Shakalakaluki' (shaa*kaa*laa*kaa*LOO*kee) :angel:

You can get Dragon issue 260 from the Back Issues order form in the back of the magizines, or from the website. That's also where the greater drakes that I converted came from.

there's a breakdown of sean reynold's article from dragon 284 right here (http://www.fantasist.net/draconic.shtml).

this isn't a list of proper names, but you can still take inspiration from it.
