I'd like some dragon names, please!

[Flashblade]

I'm especially eager for some inspired Green, Gold, and Silver dragon names. Please indicate color and sex. Thanks in advance!

Dragons Revisited is what you need.

Gold dragon names can be longer, more complex, or harder to pronounce than those of most of their metallic kin, but golds often use shortened forms for casual conversation or when dealing with non-dragons. Many golds from the Aurixia clan (the pure bloodline) bear a portion of their foremother’s name in theirs, as the word for “gold” in Draconic is itself “aurux.”

Gold Dragon Names: Aurexiar, Dararthurian, Edvarthixian, Marathaliax, Raurix. (...)

Green dragon names fall somewhere in the middle of the draconic spectrum for length and complexity. They tend to be relatively easy to pronounce (if not to spell) and they generally eschew the use of titles and other epithets. Female green dragons frequently have names ending in the syllable of “vox.” Beyond these generalities, green dragons do not practice any particular naming conventions, although fathers tend to grant their offspring names that incorporate one or two syllables of their own names. For example, the famed astronomer Gartheris fathered Athervox, Gardras, and Theristix.
Green dragon names: Arithalion, Dastrivox, Karsitran, Saevox. (...)

Silver dragon names of the pure bloodline often incorporate some variation on the name Argix, the original silver dragon and founder of the bloodline (also, “argix” is Draconic for “silver”). Otherwise, silver dragon names, unlike almost every other aspect of the breed, follow no real patterns or regulations. They tend to be relatively easy to pronounce, but their length and general majesty vary wildly.
Silver Dragon Names: Argithix, Drakstherian, Lastargix, Shargarius, Yarthadrix

It also features male gold dragon Astarathian, female green dragon Athervox, and female silver dragon Terendelev.

Dragons Unleashed features female silver dragon Eranex, male gold dragon Garaudhilyx, and male green dragon Zedoran.

Thanks for that text drop! I'd like to avoid using the ones already explicitly in the book, though, and I am really terrible and unimaginative at working within a convention for names. At least for the Gold and Silvers, they seem to be going for a faux-latin leaning so we can probably assume things that end in -ix are female and things that end in -us are male.

Argirix is the first thing that comes to mind for a silver, but it feels clumsy to say. Auxaurian sounds pretty cool for a (male?) gold. Would love some more suggestions.

Doesn't Terendelev Die in Wrath of the Righteous?

[Jason Wedel]

both green

Puff & Elliot always were favorites of mine

Maybe forgo the consonant in that Silver? So Argiix (are-JEE-icks)? Other decent Silver names might be Diargixus, Vargix, Yarthixia, or Larigix. (dee-ARE-jicks-us, var-jicks, yar-THICKS-ee-uh, lai{r}-REE-jicks)

I like Auxaurian, but if we want to add more: Thurivarixian, Malixaurian, Taurixian, Dvarixthuriar, Mevixaurith. (thoo-REE-var-ICKS-ee-un, mall-ICKS-are-ee-un, TAr-ricks-ee-un, duhVAR-icks-THOO-ree-are, MEH-vicks-are-ith)

And for greens, it looks like it depends on male or female. Greens like to name females with things that end in 'vox', so Cheravox, Destrivox, Tennavox, or Verivox. They seem to like four or five syllable names as well, so males might be Tennaverion, Verilthron, Dastrinian, and Karsaevion. (CHAIR-ah-vocks, deh-STREE-vocks, TEN-nah-vox, VAIR-ih-vocks; TEN-nah-VAIR-ee-on, /'dæs-trIn-I-ʌn/, car-SAY-vee-un)(Couldn't think how else to do a key for the next to the last one, so take crappy IPA)

The language as a whole seems to like quick, harsh syllables, as a note, and I'm willing to bet most draconic names are something like Charity, Hayate, Una, and Joshua: words or phrases taken from the language and used as names.

Dragon's Demand has Aeteperax as the name of a black dragon.

Dragon's Demand Spoiler:

The black dragon is dead, and being impersonated by a green dragon.

Varying quality, but some are pretty decent.

Would you mind if I steal a few of your examples?

Lingramel is my (male) golden Dragon homie

No idea where I got that name from though

Have at, it's one of the reasons I posted! Let me know which ones get used, I might grab a few myself...for reasons. Magical reasons. Anyway, I try to make sure I'm avoiding names other people are using as much as possible. Too many rounds of 'can I name my kingdom this?' in my fiction setting.

Wait...

Draconic is actually Latin-derived?

[KestrelZ]

In one of D&D 3x deities books, there was a dragon goddess named Ioun. Said Ioun stones were were actually named after her in that setting.

That's like Harry Potter Latin.

[Browman]

the Dracanomicon for 3.5 is one of, if not the best dragon source book ever written, I am fairly sure it has something on dragon names.

I'll be using Destrivox and Diargixus. You can keep Auxaurian, though I could use some more Gold female names. :)
