How dragon names work
Dragon names are built to be spoken in Draconic — a language of hisses, hard stops and drawn-out finals. They run long and grand, favouring endings like -rax, -gos and -xis, because a wyrm's name is meant to fill a cavern and outlive the tongue that first said it.
Anatomy of a dragon name
This generator assembles names the way the tradition does. Typical openings include Aur, Bala, Cala, Dree, Emb, Faer, Ghaz, Igni; names run 2–3 syllables and resolve on endings such as -rax, -gos, -thyx, -ion, -mir, -xis. The tradition doesn't gender-code its names — any ending suits any character.

Where dragon names come from
Dragon names in fantasy are built for grandeur and fear: Tolkien's Smaug and Glaurung set the template of heavy, sibilant names, and D&D's great wyrms — Tiamat, Ashardalon, Klauth — pushed dragon names toward long, draconic constructions full of hard consonants and hissing endings. In D&D lore a dragon's true name has power, so dragons often go by titles or epithets in company.
How to build a good one
Long and heavy: three or more syllables mixing hard stops (K, T, D) with sibilants (s, th, x). Endings like -ax, -ion, -arth, -rix give weight. Add an epithet for use in company — "the Crimson Doom" — and keep the true name hidden.
At the table
Treat the dragon's true name as a campaign treasure. Players who learn it gain leverage — and a dragon who hears its true name spoken by a mortal is a scene that ends in either an alliance or a massacre. Let the epithet do the introductions until then.
