Dragon Name Generator Based on Your Name

A dragon name based on your own name works because it keeps a recognizable stem and swaps in a draconic ending. Sarah becomes Sarakhaz, Michael becomes Mikhaeroth, Emily becomes Emilyra. The trick is to hold on to the first one or two syllables that make the name yours, then close it with sounds that fantasy readers already associate with dragons: -thrax, -roth, -vyre, -zoth, -ilith, -khar, and -rax. Those suffixes borrow from names like Smaug's kin Ancalagon, Skyrim's Alduin and Paarthurnax, and D&D's Tiamat and Bahamut, all of which lean on hard consonants and long open vowels.

Soft names take soft endings and hard names take hard ones. Names ending in a vowel (Olivia, Noah, Luna) usually sound best with a consonant-heavy suffix such as -rax or -thrax, while names that already end in a hard consonant (Jack, Mark, Seth) do better with a flowing one like -oroth or -vyre. Two-syllable names produce the cleanest results; very short names often need a bridging syllable, which is why Ian becomes Ianthrax rather than Ianx.

Every name below is built from a real, common first name so you can find your own or a friend's, or use the pattern to convert a name that isn't listed.
