Blue Dragon Name Generator

Blue dragons are the desert tyrants of the chromatic family. In Dungeons & Dragons they breathe lightning, burrow under dunes to ambush caravans, and run their territories like vain, meticulous kings; Iymrith of Anauroch and Lennithon are the famous examples. Their true names follow the Draconic template that all true dragons share: long, guttural words heavy on k, x, z, th and rolled r, usually four or five syllables, such as Vraxilith, Kaldrassar or Zarkhendros. Blue names tend to carry more hissing sibilants and sharp vowels than red or black ones, which reads as ozone and glass rather than fire and rot.

Most blue dragons also have an epithet the locals use, and that is where the colour shows. Reach for lightning, thunder, sand, glass (what a lightning strike makes of a dune), mirage, sapphire and the cloudless sky: Sandscourge, the Glass-Maker, the Cloudless Tyrant, Storm of the Dunes. In World of Warcraft the blue dragonflight uses a different convention entirely, with names ending in -gos for males and -gosa for females (Malygos, Kalecgos, Sindragosa), so a few of those are here too.

The list mixes full Draconic true names, name-plus-epithet forms, short epithets, dovah-style compounds, softer names for female wyrms and the canon blues, so you can pick a stat-block name and one the caravan guards actually use.
