Celebrity Named Dragons

[Eruru]

I don't believe I have any dragons directly named after celebrities, but I just wanted to point out that you might want to fix the title of this thread. You accidentally spelled "Celebrity" as "Celeberty".

I don't know if these guys count as celebrities, but I named my spitfire breeding pair Uruha and Reita after my favorite members of the GazettE.

[eaglefeather831]

Yay~ Lol I'm a fan too.

I have 2 vamps named after Pam from True Blood (one was before she was given a full name, and the other after I think *season 3 ep 10 when they said her full name). I also have another vamp named after Godric/the actor that played him. ...that's about it so far.

lol, I have one named Erik Nordman, Sookie is Mine, True Blood, and Tru Blood.

[Dementia]

I don't have any dragons named after a particular celebrity, but I have plenty named after famous songs, current and past, and songs that I personally like or felt that the title fit the dragon.

I have a bunch from a certain book series, I think no one else here reads them besides me, but if you do, here they are:

 

Anomander Rake

Silchas Ruin

Andarist

Menandore ... etc.

 

So I went to have a look-see:

 

The Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen is an epic fantasy series written by Canadian author Steven Erikson. The series is planned to have a total of ten books with truly epic scope, and features a massive cast of characters. Each book weaves a different chapter of the ongoing saga of the Malazan Empire and its wars. The first five books tell a story which is primarily self contained, with the smaller plots resolved within the novel. However, the primary story arc develops throughout all of the novels. The characters, events, and locations bind together story, and connect the various novels together.

 

Nice! Makes for a great naming theme x

I named a lot of my dragons after songs, bands and at least one movie I can think of right now. I have vampires named after characters from the movie, The Lost Boys. I use a lot of Metallica song titles for names, also Megadeth, Guns N' Roses, Nickelback and AC/DC. I am sure that the bands that I use will expand as I get more dragons.

Most dragons of mine are named after song titles as well, usually in a pattern (all my Nebulas are named after Florence + the Machine songs, for example, and all Pygmies are named after Poets of the Fall songs)
