There's a dragon named *Ahem*?!? That's going to get a little confusing isn't it?

Who can forget TROGDOR the burninator of peasants. 8)

can't really think of any other names that haven't been mentioned.

Not sure if there is a GURPS book dedicated to dragons, but DnD has the Draconomicon which might have some pertinent information.

MtG has some nice dragon names. For starters there are the Elder Dragon Legends, among which are Palladia-Mors, Vaevictus Asmadi, Chromium and of course Nicol Bolas (still missing the fifth name though). There are some later unique dragons as well, though I only recall Darigaaz, the Igniter at the moment.

These are great so far!

Remember, you don't have to just send in dragons from legends or games... you can make them up!

DnD's Draconium has an interesting section in the back with dragons' names, but... it's like they had a random generator of letters; most just don't work. For example: Ofkrysantemiselni... Some are cool though, it just takes several hundred times of repeatedly saying it to get the hang of it =). But I think their point is that most dragons live so long, and are so arrogant, that they spend most of their scheming-time making names for themselves.

Does anyone know if the dragon from Beowulf had a name? Not sure if it was mentioned in the original prose, but John Gardener rewrote the story through Grendel's eyes in a book called Grendel, where he talked to the dragon (who was really cool). I don't remember him giving a name though.

"You couldn't say it. It's unpronounceable anyway." Dragon writes down a very familiar sort of symbol. "Try to pronounce that!"

haha, wow Zorg. That reminds me of Diablo II unique villains... you know... Star Puke the Unholy?

We can't forget Cthulhu... he's practically Dragon + Squid + Cosmic Powers + Coolest Name Ever Written

I didn't play Diablo, but the name generator I used is intentionally generating Diablo-esque names :)

There's GURPS Dragons, a very nice suplement for both 3rd ed and 4th ed, that is loaded with informaiton on historical dragon myths, through the cultures. I wholeheartly recomend it. It's the usual SJG quality, hardcover, full color, and with very very nice art (at least IMHO. It's very tribal in style, and some people might not like that. I find it gorgeous, but I know that some people would prefer more detail instead of visual impact).
