Do you name your dragons?

[Alethia]

Did a quick search to seem if a similar topic was up. Didn’t really see anything. So I was wondering how many of you give your dragons names.

I only have a few dragons, though I would love to buy more. My first dragon’s name came to me moments after buying him, and my two white dragons were more stubborn about giving up their names. I have but 5 dragons, a jade coiled named Arazal, a white curled mother names Shay-la, a white young dragon named Shal-nor, a brown young male named Xen, and a green mother named Azaylia. Arazal is my fav and was the one to tell me his name right away. lol, just seeing if I’m as weird as my mum thinks I am for saying my dragons tell me their names, or for naming them at all.

There is one, but it’s been the better part of a year since it’s been active.

Some of my Windstones insist upon names, others don’t, so about 1/4 I think of mine have names. All the earliest ones that aren’t hatching dragons are named, since it was so hard for me to ever get any big ones the few I saved up for were super special. Most are the kind of dragon names a fantasy-stricken teenager would have named her dragons. I have an Isis, Tiamat, Leander, Zaknafin, Drizzt, Cyrus, Larth.
Now I have a Baby Bahamut and a Harry Potter, so I guess the geek in me is still going strong. I’m thinking of naming my first emperor after something from Sandman, but I wanted that name for a silver emperor but those are out of stock now ::grumble grumble:: If I ever get a RF or ruby emperor he will be the King of Red Lions!

ah , I see, just didn’t use the right search words. nice names. I now I would have been tempted to use dragon names from final fantasy and such if mine hadn’t told me their names.

I have a Ruby Fledgling with a crooked wing whose name is Roob. No other names have come to me though!

They would give me their names if I asked but with over 130 Windstones and around that many more in other dragons, names are hard for me to remember so I just do not ask them. Some do as they have given their names before they get here.
It can be hard when even your car is a dragon, but oh the fun to have a safe haven for dragons to come and enjoy.

I think there was another thread, or discussion of it (other than the one Lupus posted). I posted on just one of them that no, I didn’t name them. I guess I’m a bit of a downer about it, but I don’t because they are statues. Their names are what they are to me, ie “male, scratcher, emp” etc.

[dragonmedley]

I’m like Kujacker; I don’t name them.

The only ones that have names are PYOs, and they were named by the artist.

I only named two PYOs that I painted: a kirin that came with a damaged horn, so he got a special treatment – Piki the okapirin, and a unicorn portrait commission after a horse, Joep.

The rest are descriptive, not actual names-names.

Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

I’ve got close to 30 Windstones and all but one of them have names (still working on a name for the newest arrival). I definitely know what you mean when you say that some just name themselves; sometimes the name just jumps into mind immediately. Others take some time.

Most of the names have no meaning/relation to anything, but some are influenced by whatever I was into at the time (video games, movies, etc.).

Here’s a sampling of mine:
Garrett (male brown griffin)
Leona (female wolf griffin)
Basil, short for Basilisk (peacock emperor)
Emerson (emerald OW)
Bree (amethyst fledgling)
Lorik (white scratcher)
Cornelius (serpentine curlie)
Raiku (black gold fledgling)

[Gremlin1]

I’ve got 27, and each one has a name. From Brodick (empea OW), to Widget (brown wolf sitting griffin chick), to Molly (emerald lap dragon).

Some do. Some don’t. My first WS, peacock old warrior, I named Orion, my favorite constellation. They PYO’s do. The curlies no.
