Posted November 16, 2010 When I was newer, I named a few of my dragons after their code if it was something cool or memorable... like "jobi" became Jobith (because jobi was taken), and "gdup" became Hiyo Silver (get it? Giddyup! ... and he's a silver). Since I'd taken a break from here for a few months and missed a lot of new dragons, I've had a lot of catching up to do. As a result, I had a LOT of new dragons to name. So I wouldn't burn my brain up trying to think of cool names for everyone, I decided to base each dragon's name solely off their codes (unless they had a notable lineage or were a holiday dragon). By adding a random vowel here and there to make it work, and also adding my preferred suffix of "th" to their names, I've come up with some cool, weird and really unusual names. The best part is, they're rarely taken! Naming by code can be challenging and fun. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 16, 2010 I have never named my dragons by code, since I have a uniform naming system across most of my scroll based on combining names from two separate lists, until I got my first paper recently with the code Mo0Z. So now I have a scroll full of dragons with antiquated names, and Miz Mooz. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 16, 2010 I've only done it once that I can remember. code is aSsS, name is Rear End. Hurhur I'm so clever..not :> Share this post Link to post
Posted November 19, 2010 My newest one is a purple hatchie with code TXeR. So I named it Purple T-Rex Share this post Link to post
Posted November 19, 2010 I named my Albino Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated based on his code, which is doff. It made me think of doof, which made me think of Doofenshmirtz, but since that was taken, I chose Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 19, 2010 I have my own naming system, but I do look at the code and sometimes base the dragon descriptions on them. For example, the dragon with the code n0sE (caps messed) has a description saying his sense of smell is unusually good. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 19, 2010 I did it today! I had one vampire with the code oh4u so i called it oh-for-you Share this post Link to post
Posted November 19, 2010 Hmm... Digging through my dragons, I have several... Some are named directly, others are merely inspired by the code. eZO3 - The Wizard of Oz HtWd - Hot Water kOJb - Princess Koja ksku - Kirstin Kiku 45cm - Lady Metric KeWn - Gossamer Kevin fAmY - Gossamer Amy bfGf - He Said She Said B1ff - Electric Biff 9V9p - Nine Volt Victoria KKiX - Soccer Mom Duh2 - Obvious Butterfly This is a sampling of the more obvious ones.

Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) I also usually go according to a naming system (though it's less obvious to most people), but I have a few of exceptions too. If I did find any really cool codes in the future, I think I would probably name them accordingly. PS: just had a look at my scroll and I do seem to have a few funny coded dragons (though not named according to the code). pG14 (PG-14?) ToO2 (Too 2?) eaTN (Eatin'?) QVCK (Quack?) KIkn (Kickin'?) olol (oh lol?) Edited November 19, 2010 by lanette Share this post Link to post
Posted November 19, 2010 I just did this for the first time the other day! I had a dragon with the code nife, who I named The Nife. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 19, 2010 Just named this water I got from the AP, bugZ - Bugz Dorkface Fallyn Share this post Link to post
Posted November 20, 2010 I started out with my own system but after a while it went out of the window. I think I'm going to be quite busy including the codes when the renaming facility is brought in. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 27, 2010 Undead Baro - Baro (someone already had Baro ;A; ) And that's it. I have yet to find a good code otherwise. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 27, 2010 I like basing names off the code, unless I already had something else in mind, heck I often go looking just for interesting codes if I'm not looking for something specific. Let me see... BrAT- What a Brat JArD- Jar of Strawberry Jam P1ZA- Pizza Pizza Pizza Pizza Pizza kRkn- Kraken of the Blue Waves (And it just happened to be a deep sea fwrr) 9sAW- Saw Blade Fin F0RK- My Little Fork LCHu- Xolo Light Pikachu (Xolo is actually from a different dragons code. It didn't grow up..) XAYd- Miss Xay Ms2r- Master Grave Wings POo8- Little Winnie the Pooh NOIR- L'eau Noir (It's a water walker. The name means 'Black Water' (Noir being black) And Hmm, that seems to be it. Right now I have an Ochre Drake with the Code "BUgs", and... An Albino with the code "5EXC" (Sexy) that haven't grown up yet. Wondering what I should name them (or if I should even code-name the albino at all lol).. I'd like to keep my ochre drake naming theme of nuts.. Maybe a bug that eats nuts or something, idk. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 27, 2010 I'm just using the letters/numbers and making a name up around them. For instance, I just had one grow up, code A3OW. I called her Atreliowa. the 3 part is the 'tre' (short for treble) and the other couple of letters are there to make it sound better. I try to end the name with a feminine/masculine sound, but I suspect some would disagree with me on that, but what the hey! Share this post Link to post
Posted November 27, 2010 I had a dragon with the code IVyv - Vine named it Ivy of Ecstasy. (Ecstasy is a song. Which I love.) HopE - Valentine which I named Harrison's Hope. (George Harrison btw.) Share this post Link to post
Posted November 27, 2010 never did it as I have my own system of naming. though it may be funny as I'v seen from this topic Share this post Link to post
Posted November 27, 2010 I got a little purple with the code "PaCE". I named him Pacey. Yeah, i'm inventive. http://dragcave.net/view/n/Pacey%20Purplehatch Share this post Link to post

Posted November 27, 2010 One of my Magi dragons has the code, cXtc, and is now named Ecstasy of the Magi. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 27, 2010 All CBs in this lineage are named after the code and the lineage naming of "Look" comes from the first female. http://dragcave.net/lineage/IUH3 I hope I'll still get the planned 3 autumn breedings in... Share this post Link to post
Posted November 28, 2010 Mmhmm, I have a few times. More often just choosing a name with similar letters/sound to the code, but I just recently did one directly based on the code. Although to get it a person would probably have to know elvish (i.e. Lord of the Rings elvish), since all my dragon names are taken from the elvish languages. Got an egg with the code "uGod". In Quenya the prefix "u-" means "not", so I named the hatchie "U-Eru" - "Eru" being the name for God in Tolkien's universe. So yeah, basically his name is "Not God". 'Tis to keep him humble, even though he's a Dorkface-Thuwed. *g* Share this post Link to post
Posted November 28, 2010 I got a little purple with the code "PaCE". I named him Pacey. Yeah, i'm inventive. http://dragcave.net/view/n/Pacey%20Purplehatch I caught that and abandoned it to make room for a Split. Glad to see it went to a good home. Share this post Link to post
