Posted April 8, 2010 I tend to look at parental names when choosing the names of my dragons. Some good examples: Foragrim Aog'dai Festive Faery, whom I later found out what appropriately named, being apparently part of a lineage project. Pureheart Eclipse And, my favorite one to date: San Aleta Azul. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 8, 2010 I thought this was a real find for me, and since it was quite appropriate, I named the dragon after her mother... Last Winter Girl (mine), was born the day before the 2010 spring equinox, that is, she was born on the last day of winter 2010. Her mother, Last Spring Girl (not mine), was born on the day before the 2009 summer solstice, that is, she was born on the last day of spring 2009. I've got some others that I've named after parents/grandparents, but I thought that was the coolest among them all, because of when they were born. I'd have to do some serious looking around to see if any of my dragon's offspring that aren't mine were named after the parents....but I don't think I've got that happening yet. Maybe one somewhere... Share this post Link to post
Posted April 8, 2010 i mix parent names for almost all of my dragons now! the only thing is that sometimes the names turn out a little wierd for example: Mother: Rabies Father: Royal Winter Dream Baby: Royal Rabies But sometimes its kinda cool: Mother: Black Terra Dragon Father: Zuguso Aliy the Warrior Baby:Zuguso Terra the Warrior Share this post Link to post
Posted April 8, 2010 I sometimes name after the parents, and usually try to keep lineage names when I spot them. It always gives me the warm fuzzies when someone does that for me. A while back I came across this little guy who is now named Zanreo's Lost Garden. Zanreo is a dragon from my scroll, and is the little 'un x4 great grand parent. I would have tried to pull in the parent's names, but they're both nameless. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 8, 2010 I actually name a lot of my dragons by their parents, even if its out of the way. Take for example this egg I picked up with parents with beautiful german names (I know absolutely no german by the way), I searched them, translated them and then named the hatchling efter them (well as best I could using a translator ) I just think it makes the lineages more special Share this post Link to post
Posted April 8, 2010 Someone named the vampired offspring of my Love-You-Anyhow and Sentimental-Melody (I always end up giving pinks maudlin names ) Lovely Melody Cryptdweller. I was completely chuffed to see it. I try to do the same, though sometimes it's difficult, because almost all my dragons have phrase names. If a dragon's name isn't a word, I'm not going to try incorporating it. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 8, 2010 I have a thing for keeping name themes going, and have many of my own including several AP finds. My favorite is this guy - http://dragcave.net/lineage/fHO0 I have kept the Chaos theme going for 2 more generations of blunas so far Share this post Link to post
Posted April 8, 2010 I still have to abandon eggs from my dragons, I am a newbie, but I would love if the catcher uses the parents names I have did it on this one Subayai Beki used the mother's name! Share this post Link to post
Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) I just discovered someone did that with my dragons' offspring. Slayer of the Sea: The father is Dark Depths of the Sea. It made me smile. EDIT: Here's another one I just remembered. I bred my Snow Angel with my Winter. The person who adopted it bit it and named it Dead Holidai.

Posted April 9, 2010 The person who got one of the Yule eggs from my yule Wing of Holly named it Wing of Yule. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 9, 2010 Two of my first dragons,Echo Monsoon and Larkspur Summer, have a daughter called Echo's Monsoon Larkspur IB(Not mine), and she has a son called Cloud's Monsoon Larkspur IB. It made me smile. (All links are linage links, not dragon page links) Share this post Link to post
Posted April 9, 2010 I have a dragon named "I'm staring at you" and one of her babies is named "I feel Like I'm Being Watched". I just saw it now and I LOL'd. No, really. http://dragcave.net/view/n/I%27m%20staring%20at%20you Share this post Link to post

Posted April 9, 2010 http://dragcave.net/lineage/Af5s This one is pretty interesting (I own Reckoning Day of Hades and Reckoning Night of Hades. I name all of my dragons after songs). Also, these two dragons of mine: http://dragcave.net/lineage/u03R http://dragcave.net/lineage/kJP1 Share this post Link to post
Posted April 9, 2010 I did this once ^^ I had Dorkface twins I caught in the AP. One parent was named Equine Dancer and the other had Dorkface in the name (of course, considering its a dorkface ) So I named one of the twins Dancer Dorkface and the other Equine Dorkface. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 9, 2010 Aww, I have two Autumn Seasonals named Voltrin and Eleatra. Someone named the baby Eleatrin, now I feel all warm and fuzzy. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 9, 2010 I've just started doing that recently... like Lady Bling VI, one of my gold females, is actually named for her great-great-great-grandfather. My favorite instance of this happening though is a dragon bred from my favorite pair Pandia (f, white) and Trieton (m, gold)... they named it Trietandia... Trietandia D'Alsea, how pretty is that?

Posted April 10, 2010 Heh, I started to name dragons after parents... And I'm really happy to do so. It connects me with other people.^^ Share this post Link to post

Trietandia D'Alsea, how pretty is that? Really? My favorite pair also got a baby with D'Alsea after it. Areture D'Alsea, Which sounds like a mixture of my pair, Arenag and Aperture. I also notice that Areture has a baby named Nureture D'Alsea. I swear I fell in love when I saw Nureture's lineage. Edited April 10, 2010 by Aquenee Share this post Link to post
Posted April 10, 2010 I did this with my White dragon Shiro de Proxy. The Lineage Although, looking at her parents' scroll, that seems to be a scroll-specific name, so I'm wondering if I should have. :/ Share this post Link to post
