## How to use the dragon name generator

1. Choose what to **generate**: dragon names, names with titles (Vorthrax the Ember-Crowned), first and last names (Ignara Ashscale), names built from real words with their meaning, three-headed dragons, dragon species, cute and funny names, or bearded dragon names for a pet lizard.
2. Pick a **gender**, an **element** and an **age**. The element shapes the sound and the title; the age decides between short, quick names for a young dragon and long, heavy names for an ancient one.
3. Tap **Generate** for a fresh list. Tap a name to copy it and press the heart to keep it in your favorites. During one visit you never see the same name twice.

The generator has 486 hand-made dragon names, 143 name beginnings that it joins to dragon endings, 204 titles, 152 real words from 21 languages and 212 pet names. It joins the parts smoothly (no doubled letters, no walls of consonants) and skips the names of famous dragons from books, films and games, so what you get is yours to use in a story, a tabletop campaign, a video game, a drawing or a username.

## Frequently asked questions

**How does the dragon name generator work?**

Choose what you want (names, names with titles, first and last names, names from real words, three-headed dragons, species, cute names or bearded dragon names), then pick a gender, an element and an age. Each press of Generate gives a fresh list with no repeats.

**What is a good name for a dragon?**

A good dragon name is easy to say and fits the dragon. Hard sounds like K, X and R feel fierce (Kazrath, Vorthrax), soft sounds feel wise (Seraphyx), and a title such as the Ember-Wing or Keeper of the Hoard makes any name grander.

Female dragon names often end in a soft sound like -a, -yss, -essa or -wyn: Ignara, Glacira, Nyxara, Tempestra, Aurelia. Set the gender to Female for hundreds more in every element.

**What are some male dragon names?**

Male dragon names usually have hard endings like -ax, -orn, -gar or -ion: Vorthrax, Kragnar, Thundrak, Glacorn, Noxarion. Set the gender to Male and pick an element to match your dragon.
