Name Check Thread

I'll let TJ decide on that one. Please PM me if you find any questionable dragon names - Thanks for letting me know about this one.

Remember that 'negro' is the word for 'black' in a few languages, such as Spanish. Since Dorals are indeed black and that person has the whole apostrophe thing going on, it may be safe to consider that nothing offensive was meant.

 

Just food for thought.

Would it be OK to name my Whiptail "Biggest Dicke Around"? It matches his code, like so: http://dragcave.net/lineage/DlCKe

 

If it isn't, I may end up using the code as a surname instead.

I lean towards no.

I had removed ' in one of the names and it got killed, so I guess its not allowed?

Apparently "dicke" is German for "thickness". And it's an actual surname.

 

"Dicke der Panzerung" is German for "thickness of the armor"... would this be acceptable instead of the earlier one?

[Herk]

You could also name the dragon Der Dicke (m) or Die Dicke (f), depending on gender meaning "The fat one" - if that is OK...

Yes, that is fine imo.

No, just like the forums, names cannot contain any inappropriate language. Acceptabe censor is to censor the word completely.

Are names "Mary Is Scary" and a name with Dixon name acceptable?

[Obscure_Trash]

Do these names have meanings I'm missing? o_O

 

PM me if you don't want to say it publicly.

All of my dragons are named in Mando'a, a fictional language from Star Wars. Is this acceptable?

As long as the names are appropriate, other languages are fine.

"Absolute Poppycock" meaning absolute nonsense in the original slang terms

[zaverxi]

Are Yo Momma jokes considered inappropriate?

Poppycock is an actual word with an appropriate definition. It's fine.

I suppose it would depend on the joke.

Same as with poppycock.

Is "Son of a Biscuit" acceptable as a name? I don't want to get in trouble...

[Tehya Faye]

I don't see why it would be a problem. ^^

Seems fine to me.

[Windy]

Seems fine to me.

Thank you!

[sbowen]

One of my dragons' names is A Tout A L'HUERE. I named it that because it means See you later in French. Is that okay?

[purpledragonclaw]

Seems acceptable to me, sbowen.

[walkinslow]

Is there some kind of pun involved? "See you later" in French is "A tout à l'heure".
