I’m terrible for coming up with names for pets even, so I’m totally helpless with Windstones! I can’t come up with good names for any of my Windstones except my emerald oriental dragon. He just looks like a Ralph to me (don’t ask me why). I would like to come up with some good names for my Unicorns, but can’t think of any. Any suggestions?
Try going to babynames.com or americanbabynames.com and browsing through the alphabet. A’s, R’s, E’s, S’s have pretty names usually
Thanks for the advice, I’ll look them up. 😉
Fweee finally have time to post my dragon names!
They are found here on the main page of my corner of the interwebs under My Dragons:
Very few links work on there, so you have been warned! Also to see bigger pics of them, click on the thumbnail on their description pages.

Haha, thanks. I really need to draw a dragon to stick on the page with it XD
Your welcome. I also like the dragon counter. A dragon would add so much more to it, but it is still fun. 😀
Cool names, DantheDragon. And yes, I’ve learned for safety reasons never to poke a dragon 😀
The only Windstone pieces I’ve named are my stripey tan gryphon and my PYO winged wolf. But after reading this thread, I’m thinking of naming a few more of my PYOs. For some reason, I’m not sure how keen I am on naming my production pieces; maybe I’ll name one or two and see if it works out.
Most of my Windstones are nameless. However, I keep the names of pieces that arrive already christened – Young Unicorn grab bags, test paints from eBay, and PYOs (by other people). I think it’s easier to name them when the collection is small but mine isn’t anymore.
I don’t name my Windstones, other than the white GB Pebble wolf I bought to commemorate my white GSD, Milo.
Names don’t really come to mind when I look at my gypsum babies…besides, I don’t think I’d ever remember them all if they did. My PYOs have names though…Names like Zofia, Orchid, Victorian, Haru, Bongo, Duath, Medora, Cotton Candy, just to name a few 🙂
Come to think of it…I have nicknames for my lovebird poads shown in my avatar. Murrisch and Maussade, German and French for GRUMPY 😛

Bwahahaha! It’s true, though, poads do have a grumpy look to them, especially the adult ones.
I only name the PYOs I paint (the ones I get from other artists also have names), but most are more descriptive, like Cloisonné, Pleins feux, Tarnished brass, Zebracorn, Brocade… the only actual first names that I gave were to the horse “portrait” I did on a unicorn (I gave it the horse’s name) and a kirin with a crooked horn.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

I host the feedback lists, which are maintained by drag0nfeathers.
http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmSome of my favorite Windstones have names, others do not. For example, these pieces:
My ‘Indigo Forest’ test paint Male Dragon has the name, “Indy” short for ‘Indigo’ and I like ‘Indiana Jones’
My Production Brown Male Griffin’s name is ‘Halifax’ – the names just sort of ‘strike me’ most times…
My Production original Peacock Scratching Dragon is ‘Etruscan’ – but he was named before I knew there was a forum member using the handle ‘etruscan’… so no, he’s not named after you, etruscan! LOL! 😀
My original Brown Production Baby KiRin is named ‘Scrimshaw’ because she reminds me of an ivory scrimshaw piece. 🙂
For others, I’ve kept the names that previous owners may have given them that I still like. Such as my Production Albino Baby Kirin w/Albino eyes, who is named ‘PinKi’
And as mentioned before, some PYO or Grab Bag pieces are named already… :love:

*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comI have never thought to name my Windstones but like others said, my grab bag young unis and pyos people did for me came with names.
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
I have three with names.
The very first Old Warrior we test painted is Claude ( because he is clawed-looking), the very first emerald mother dragon we painted is Mawgrin. These two have been sitting on my nightstand for around 20 years.
I also have the very first peacock male dragon… his name is Dagron. ( “dragon” rearranged. )I don’t name my Windstones, other than the white GB Pebble wolf I bought to commemorate my white GSD, Milo.

Lol!
I name a few, but not all. I do name my PYOs.
