HELP

Postby Jenna » Wed Jan 18, 2012 12:41 am

Xanda has a new dragon (she lost the bond with Nightwing after a complicated series of events that involves her being mostly dead, and was graciously provided a new egg by an interested party). I know very little about it other than that it is a Shadow/Darkness (absence of light darkness, not evil darkness) Elemental and it's nickname is Shade...or "Shade" is somewhere in the name.

I need suggestions.

(FYI, this currently genderless, picky dragon is emphatic against the name "Nightshade"...don't ask me why, I have no idea.)

Xena: Our hearts were hurting both the same
Gabrielle: The hurt was tearing up our souls

Gabrielle: If we can heal these open wounds

The name doesn't have to be gender ambiguous. It's more that once I find a name that fits, whatever gender I feel it leans towards will be the dragon's gender....if that makes any sense?
It's one of those "I'll know the right name when I see it" type of things.

Ayunlilayla?

It's a combo of two names. Layla means Night, black and Ayunli means leader of the dance.

You are Thistle
#D8BFD8
Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be. Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

...Sorry, but all I can come up with is Lampshade. >>

Maybe it could be in a different language, and the nickname is just a translation?

I'm awful with things like this. I usually just play around with name generators to get inspiration. Maybe one can help:

http://www.dmbh.org/portal/namegen.php
http://nine.frenchboys.net/dragon.php

You can always edit and combine to put "Shade" in with a random name somewhere. :)

He finally told me his name: Summanus. Turns out "Shade" was nowhere near close, and I was just trying to force it.
Anyway, Yll: I adore the names you came up with.
'Wren: I'll definitely be making use of those generators in the future! Dragon names are hard!

Thanks, y'all, for all the suggestions~!

Yes, for some reason, Dragons tend to prefer long and complex names.
my two main dragons, for example, are named:
Arasaihan-Naihog-Fwynloi
Beliratan-Druegan-Wyrain

What's up with them and their naming policies?
