Tips for naming a dragon

Hard sounds feel fierce (K, X, R, Z: Kazrith, Vorthrax); soft sounds feel wise or gentle (Seraphyx, Lyssara).
Let the element shape the name. Ice dragons suit frost and crystal sounds; sea dragons suit waves and tides.
Add a title for an ancient dragon — “the Undying” or “Keeper of the Deep”.
