Default Re: How do you name your dragons?

If I'm looking for verisimilitude in names, a couple of techniques I use:

Repeat suffixes or prefixes frequently. Outsiders looking at American names will frequently see things like -son and -ton.

Make the names clunky in English. Idioms and conventions translate poorly. Just look at meanings of any other language's names. So...

Grakadon. Which translates to "the big one who is majestic and/or wealthy"
