Naming, after parents.

[arisilde]

I have far too many dragons to notice quickly when something happens, but just he other day I saw this:

 

It's an adult, don't worry.

http://dragcave.net/view/n/Arisilde

 

My scroll name is Arisilde so I thought it very touching they went through the effort of making a description and getting it approved.

 

I know I have a few where I did the same for my eggs and some carried on for me, but I can't remember who they are right this second.

[kadoatie]

I also will do combined names if I can think of something cool using parent names, though ideas don't always come to me.

 

Examples;

 

Pink Elegance Mhuul x Yang high Energy Mhuul = Highly Pink

Minnie Dew x Vepex = Dewpex

Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang x The Left Hand of Darkness = Sweet Birds of Darkness

Aha! I've always been curious who managed to combine both rather long parent names :'P

The parents' names are novel titles, but the way you put them together is awesome <3

[thirdwheel]

So I got this gold but never named it, had a gold egg and traded the gold egg. The person I traded it too named his/her egg with the same Alice in Wonderland / "of moon" theme, so I decided to name mine Alice of Moon. Hopefully it'll continue (*cough blackberry57 cough* =P)

I do get a warm fuzzy feeling when I see someone has named an offspring after the parents.

Crystalized Jet x The Science of Love --> Crystalized Science

Tanglehold x Menthylan Dreams (I released this one) --> Aedes of Dreams

[Karin Kes]

I was ecstatic when someone chose to continue the Kes name -fuzzy feeling-

My CB silver girl (Karin Kes) is my precious dragon who I mate every week with a CB white boy (Orion Kes) in hopes for a silver. I kept their first kid for good luck too Today I noticed one of their children was called Arjun Kes. I was SO HAPPY.

 

Too bad they blocked their scroll name I LOVE YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE.

That would be me & you're welcome

 

 

Currently locked so while twiddling my thumbs am trying to name more of my dragons

 

I don't have a set naming scheme and my poor dragons are usually named during fit of 'ispiration' some more daft than others but if I like the parents names or especially if they amuse me I try to name after them

[Lara_5]

I just saw that some of the players used my naming scheme for their dragons =) I think that is really cute =) Thank you for that

[Starbit]

I've named one of my frozen Frill hatchies Attila Pandragon, his father was called Adelio Pandragon.

 

I also have a vine named Hezarr Lin, his mother was Halende Lin and his father Hezarr Jasminoides Lars.

 

Thank you for helping me name them, the owners of their parents! =D

[RedWolfen]

I love it when this happens. I use "Wolfen" at the end of almost all of my dragon's names, and I've seen a few others.

http://dragcave.net/view/n/Lady%20Gozella%20Wolfen <And in this one, it continued down to that dragon's children <3

 

(Both are adults)

 

There are some others, but I have over 100 dragons on my scroll soooo...

[schmupti]

I use a sort of 'kennel name' (Kennel Name's Dragon Name), mostly to avoid the problem of already used names. I've seen one grandegg that kept the KN, and one that switched it around (to "of Kennel Name"). I was tickled.

[lexa000]

I try to give my eggs at least one of the parents names.

[Mathcat]

I usually name my dragons after their code, but sometimes I come up with a good combination of parents' names.

 

Here are mine:

 

Kaorin + Zorufu = Kalazor

 

Nouvaresk + Detonation = Norivan

 

Sky Song Kitten + Winter Wake Man = Halben Wintersky

 

No Stranger to Dawn + Brush of Dawn = Dawn-Greeter

 

Zalul + Ritzael = Rialu Spellweaver

 

Zequim Stargazer + Rialu Spellweaver = Zeralis Wordsmith

 

Song of Dark Magic + Song of Darkness = Darksong Thuwed

 

Carnelian Mistress + Beguiling Enchanter = Carnelian Enchanter

 

Dark Ink + Redsun Fire = Velsig Darkfire

 

Ricotta Baystorm + Molto Dark Baystorm = Lady Darkstorm

 

Stormy Monday + Tuesday Heartache = Wednesday Dreams

 

Bellowe + Illumine = Belumina (Bellumina was taken - by the owner of the parents)

 

Foobarsma of the Effulgent Swamp + Sochen of the Glittering Caves = Calsuray of the Crystal Caves

 

Edited: Forgot two

 

Seragio + Karajelen = Serjel

 

Kivi-Liisa + Sini-Seppo = Kilisi

 

Here are some people have made from mine:

 

Azuleth + Zarix Favonius = Azule Favonius

 

Lorfalian + Eini Rosequeen = Lorfalain Roseking

 

Naia Waverider + Evni Subsolanus = Naianid

 

Jalgafen + Velsig Darkfire = Piceous Darkfire

 

Argas Septentrio + Kilisi = Septentrio Machinarium

 

Trekan-Daro + Ralba-Liron = Trekan-Liron

 

Kiaga + Triunis = Kiara Jumpfin

[GoldenPhoenix]

I like doing that, IF the parents are named. If not I don't bother.

 

I haven't followed any eggs I have gave away yet. Maybe I should do that.

[perzephone]

I'm just happy when people name their dragons that mine bred

 

Out of 164 living, non-wild, gendered offspring that have been adopted by other people, only 98 have names - about a 60% naming rate, there.

 

(Don't ask me how much time I spend on this game... please...)

[Kaini]

Oh! I did that with the first dragon I ever picked up *^^*

 

http://dragcave.net/lineage/Bgbs

 

I didn't know people liked it... In fact I was afraid that the parents' owner would be mad at me for stealing his/her naming scheme

[Lagie]

I checked one dragon's lineage and her mother had a description so I named her for her mother's description!

http://dragcave.net/lineage/H1sj

 

I use lineages when I have trouble naming. I don't always use the parents' names but sometimes the great-great's...

[tiktokism]

I've done it, on rare occasions, and I've also had it done. My connections are usually not immediately apparent.

 

The ones I've named based on parent name(s):

 

The Never Fading Flower + Steel Dancer = Storm Aster (Aster being a type of flower.)

 

Night Green + Goldranger = Dublin Mudslide (Ireland's flag is Green, White, and Gold. Dublin is the capital.)

 

Dulce Mint + Elf Lemon = Candygram (Dulce can mean "candy" as well as "sweet", and Mint and Lemon are both common candy flavours.)

 

A Song of Snow + Unnamed = Tango Frostbite (surely I don't need to explain this.)

 

OMG Turkaless + Festi Boy = Party Hat (Festi is Esperanto for "to celebrate".)

 

Olimpias Thaala + Hielo Thaala = Nymphaea de Thaala (The most blatant homage I've ever done. She's a frozen waterwalker; Nymphaea is the genus name for waterlilies and similar.)

 

AmaZonian Pride + Of the tangling ivy vines = Mowgli Dorkface (Both of his parents' names made me think of jungles, so he's called after the boy from The Jungle Book - the father is the Dorkface.)

[Kanakha]

I recently started doing this. But I usually use real names instead of fictional names.

[tukky93]

i never did this but i have a cb blck female named 'ceres' and acb black male named 'nero' and someone who got an egg from this two named the dragon 'Nero Celesta' i just love this! <3

 

[GlitteringGalaxy]

I usually name my dragons after their code, but sometimes I come up with a good combination of parents' names.

 

Here are mine:

 

...

 

Bellowe + Illumine = Belumina (Bellumina was taken - by the owner of the parents)

...

Heh! Those two are my dragons there. I tend to name my hatchlings after their parents too.

 

I like it when people name their dragons after my own, though, but most of my CB dragons names don't lend well to mixing aaaand primarily because I don't use surnames.

 

But if I pick up an egg off of the AP, nowadays, I tend to name them after the parents, mostly if they have a surname. The first one I ever did that for, the owner of the parents contacted me (way back when the only way you could find the owner of dragons was if you put them on the DC fansite's tool) and was so happy that I did so.

 

Dragons of my own that I've named for others parents:

 

http://dragcave.net/lineage/53Ht -- one I mentioned above

http://dragcave.net/lineage/TkUS -- parents also mine

 

Dragons named for my own:

I really like it when that happens and I sometimes do it, too.

 

Examples:

 

Indali

Neal's Skooter

 

Stop calling me

Kyvria

Silver Wrapper - named (of sorts) after its mother

Keryuviel

Pinkish Silvery Starchild

Argentum Portulaca

 

and I especially like these two:

Semiconductor

Dream Parfait

 

I also have a dragon named 'Materialist' whose parents, if I recall correctly, were called 'Optimist' and 'Pessimist' but have lost their names when they became wild Dragons.

 

[Arimermaid]

I love it when I see that one of my dragon's offspring has a bit of a parent's name in it. (My Twinkie pygmys are very popular for this ... )

[Evangeline]

http://dragcave.net/lineage/aNWG

[Nightwatcher]

i forgot i had another dragon named after its parents, one of my whites is called White moonriver.

[Somercy]

I'm always secretly hoping that people will take my scrollname, Rex, and continue it. But...

 

http://dragcave.net/lineage/LOEj Rex Chrysaor as the kid of my Dorkface and Eternally Bored Rex...That surprised me.
