Posted January 5, 2015 What about naming parents after children? This pair was nameless, but I saw the child's name and had an idea! Share this post Link to post

Posted January 7, 2015 The everlasting habit of naming dragons after their parents... I don't think I'll ever break it. I've got these two pretties: http://dragcave.net/lineage/AOarj http://dragcave.net/lineage/84r02 And love this guy and gal: http://dragcave.net/lineage/vpEzw http://dragcave.net/lineage/7FPrw This too: http://dragcave.net/lineage/RKjLW And last but not least, my favorite line of naming: http://dragcave.net/lineage/zviFC I have to profusely thank those who bred these Share this post Link to post

Posted January 29, 2015 I've had it happen several times, but my favorite example happened backwards! I got my first cb silver a couple years back (and my only cb metalic to this day) and bred a silver baby from my Cave Lurker (also unnamed at the time) which was given away or traded (probably gave away). I wasn't into naming at the time, but when I went back to breed them again, I noticed that the baby had grown up male, named Evil Lurking In A Silver Heart, bred with another Cave Lurker, and produced another silver egg. I loved the name so much, that I went in and named mine Silver Heart Shimmering just so he could match his son. His grandson is named Deceptively Shiny Evil The only part that bums me out is that for whatever reason (a refusal, user/s quitting, the dragon forgotten about, inactivity) neither his son nor grandson ever had another child. I would have loved to see the line continued, but at least it went as far as it did. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) My eggs rarely even get names, so I'm just happy when people do that, but see this little fellow? I own his parents. I love trying to follow the naming scheme of the parents or grandparents of dragons I catch in the AP EDIT: Just remembered this guy kind of cheating, though, since I specifically named his parents to go with a lineage (he was a gift to another user) but it's still kind of cool Edited January 29, 2015 by Lumikkja Share this post Link to post
Posted February 27, 2015 I've started to do this a bit more, mainly because I'm running out of name ideas. I tend to take the first half of one parents name and squish it together with the other half of the opposite parent's name, like this Silver I got in a trade. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 27, 2015 When i saw what someone had named this dragon, it made my day Share this post Link to post
Posted February 27, 2015 This dragon was named in perfect alignment with my naming scheme but without taking the name I have planned for that generation's Flamingo Actually it's the feminine version of what I planned to name the GW Share this post Link to post
Posted February 28, 2015 It's so sweet when people do that I always try and continue generations of naming c: clickies Share this post Link to post
Posted March 7, 2015 I haven't had to abandon an egg yet, but I did take a name from a lineage. My pygmy can comes from a long line of "Leetle"s, so I named it Leetle Mahgik. Share this post Link to post

Posted March 8, 2015 I couldn't help myself. http://dragcave.net/lineage/4C7xm You win the Internet. That's hilarious I do this all the time. Some of my most (in my opinion) creative and interesting names come from mixing the parents' names. Recently I named several of my new Valentines this way, and my favorite is probably this one: Say hello to Forsaken Sweetness Share this post Link to post
Posted March 9, 2015 http://dragcave.net/lineage/8EN1J I see what you did there! A few of my pinks have vaguely Doctor Who themed names, but I didn't expect anyone to carry it on. Thanks, Ansela! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 9, 2015 I always look at the lineage of whatever egg I catch and if the dragon has a clever naming scheme I try to carry it on. I'm filled with warm fuzzies when I see some of the names that people give the dragons that I gift or AP. http://dragcave.net/lineage/1VcrO http://dragcave.net/lineage/GlfkX http://dragcave.net/lineage/S2iw3 http://dragcave.net/lineage/11CCO http://dragcave.net/lineage/iOKP4 http://dragcave.net/lineage/0xQyR http://dragcave.net/lineage/zFqU5 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 17, 2015 I was just looking through my unnamed dragons which include all my Code Talkers. I saw KiD0Z and nKidO, realizing I bred them to the AP a week ago. When I saw their baby's name, well, Wortgewaltig, YOU rule! The dragon is named Kidz rule. Share this post Link to post

Posted March 31, 2015 Prize dragon wise, most of mine are named after the lineage (unless there is a cool code involved). I listed my 3 favorites below. People usually get a giggle from his name. Darkrose N00b is named after the name of the original and a goof on the original's code (1337). For The Love Of Penk is from my favorite line (I own Oz too and intend to breed the line for several more gen). Share this post Link to post
Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I just noticed that a most awesome person got an offspring of my Sweetling x Seasonal lineage. Either that person has an extraordinary good music taste and knew Ved Buens Ende already or they bothered to google my dragons' names and search for a suitable name for their Sweetling in the lyrics they found. Anyway, this is soooo cool. (Edit: @ awesome person: If you need an unrelated mate, I can help you!) Edited April 26, 2015 by The_Imago Share this post Link to post
Posted April 17, 2015 I -LOVE- it when that happens! Well, I don't think it's ever happened to me...but I try to do it, and I love seeing other people do it. I'm not sure I've ever had anyone do this yet, but if someone picked up one of my Nhio eggs and named it "Indigo"...I'd be super duper happy. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 20, 2015 I need to find the person that named this baby and offer them a sibling. http://dragcave.net/lineage/Smb05 Parents are inbred: Once is a Mistake / Twice is a Sin They named her Thrice Is A Debt Share this post Link to post
Posted April 30, 2015 http://dragcave.net/lineage/rE3vR responds to the parents' names. Thanks, whoever named it. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 30, 2015 Valkiepoo - I recognise that lineage... My only Shallow Water is from that line! Vilgsa's parents are 'One weak moment' and 'Well maybe two'. By the way - I love the naming scheme. I was very amused when I browsed through it. I've never had this happen to me, but I make sure to honour previous naming schemes whenever possible and I'm sure that someone out there was consoled by my biting of the Terrae because of this guy.
