<hug>
No judgment if you don't want it, they aren't everyone's thing.
Now as a fun icebreaker, if you were to name a dragon, what name would you give it??? (also optional)
The final battle,
Pain, suffering; overcome,
by the united.
Hello and welcome to RPA, MaskedBee!
I hope you have tons of fun here! *finger guns*
Thank you!Originally Posted by Kach
Oh gosh in terms of a dragon, I suppose I'd ask their parent/guardian what their name is because I'd be afraid to insult the whole clan elsewise. But if it was an orphan dragon, I think I'd want to name them Copernicus! Copper for short. What about you?
Thanks!
Hahaha
Excellent Naming and well thought out! I applaud your effort!
I would go with Kalesh I think. That name has been following me around for a while.
"Kalesh or Klesh is an ancient Hindi and Bengali word which means 'to cause agitation' or 'to cause unrest' by 'devilish' ways."

^_____^The Naming of dragons is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a dragon must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily,
Such as Pillager, Eradicator, or Assassin,
Such as Vandal or Demolisher, Annihilator or Paul —
All of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a dragon needs a name that’s particular,
A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Radarreess, Paty, or Xuteog,
Such as Zondret, or else Kammedaim—
Names that never belong to more than one dragon.
But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover—
But THE dragon HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a dragon in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name.

And suddenly my old DM's NPC's name makes sense--
Kalesh definitely feels like a fitting name!
Oh gosh this certainly changes things. With this taken into account, I hereby change my answer.
The first name, for daily and family use, and quite sensible:
⤑ Coppernicus, Copper for short
The second name, unique only to them, dignified and peculiar:
⤑ Copprellian
The third name, known only to them, a secret of which we are unworthy and unprepared to bear witness:
⤑ For this, I can only share my suspicions and inklings. It is a name that a mammalian tongue would be unable to curl against, one that would burn their very mouth if attempted. It is not the sound, but indeed perhaps the feeling, of distance thunder, a rumbling in the very pit of you. It is the drip of saliva against a predator's maw, the harsh breath that comes with your unnamed fears, the tremble of uncertainty so heavy it weighs your steps and makes you turn your head only to realise it is shadows that stalk you, not beast. It is the crackle of a fire that warms you, the smell of incoming rain, the prick behind your skin when you're certain without proof that you're being watched from the shadows. It is all these sounds and sensations made true in a single syllable...
...one we shall never know.
