How To Name Your Dragon

There are a few places on an Army Card to get across a custom's "character" -- which general? What personality? What class? Coming up with a great name for your custom is one of them.

So, where do you find good names? I've found a few sources that I thought I'd share:

Any other sources you all use?

Re: How To Name Your Dragon

Very helpful. Mine are usually anagrams or just gibberish that fetches very few Google Search results. Thanks for posting this!

But isn't Bob short for "Big Owl Bear"?

Maybe to the Gobbos, but most humans think he tastes like chicken.

Re: How To Name Your Dragon

Thanks! Now I can stop using random gibberish or overused, modern-sounding names in my D&D campaigns! All elves will now be named by the color of their skin.

Oops, rolled a 1.

Re: How To Name Your Dragon

I've always used 20000 Names when I'm looking for something that has some meaning. It has different sections with more of a fantasy focus to it. I've definitely used it for D&D and I'm pretty sure I've prowled it for some of my different custom designs. I'll have to check out these other links the next time I'm needing a name.
