I’m making a character and I was just looking for a good dragon not a funny joke but I was pleasantly surprised 

ALSO DEFINITELY NOT STEALING 

*scribble scribble scribble*

I feel anything classical sounding works nicely for a dragon. Names like Artaxerxes, Caligula, Cambyses, Cyaxeres, Cyrus, Croesus, Darius, Leonidas, Tiberius, Victrix, etc. What I feel is more fun is a long list of titles. With the exception of silver specimens, dragons are extremely prideful, and a bunch of long titles gives this effect and also gives the players a sense of the dragons character even before they meet. Anything involving fire, political power, teeth, or all of the above works ok. For example: 
Victrix Firetooth, Many Scaled Lord of the Underground Duchie and Thrice-Blessed Prince of The Rushing Maw. 
Sound ok?

There is a table of dragon names in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, you may want to check that out if possible.

But in my worlds, dragons actually have several names. They have their true, draconic name, and a common name. The common name is merely a translation of the draconic name, which means that dragons could also have elvish, dwarvish, or even goblin names.

One idea for a common name is two use a two-word formula. You could do "Adjective + Body Part," "Noun + Adjective," "Noun + Body Part," or other variations. For example, the green dragon "Venomfang" from LMoP is a combination of the words "Venom" and "Fang." "Cryovain", the white dragon from DoIP, is a combination of "Cryo" and "Vain."

For a red dragon, you could do "Brandhide," "Fumewing," "Crimsonfang," or something similar.

As for the true name, either consult the dragon name generator in Fizban's, find one online, or just throw the common name into Google Translate a few times.

Here are some dragon name ideas in general: 

Graywing

Fierceheart

Darknight

Striketalon

Riverflow 

(I think that pairing an adjective with a noun makes a good dragon name, but something a verb and a noun go well together too, like with Striketalon) 

The blue dragon BBEG in my campaign is named Azur.

To put it out there, Draconic is a very strong and harsh language with a harsh r sound. So something like "Ravagore" (my white dragon as an example) or "Raishan" (Critical Role green dragon). Other names include:

Smaug,

Thalbek,

Lazaro,

lemashtu,

Trestafira,

Umbrasyl,

Grendel (for a white dragon),

Kalemvor,

Tamirah, 

Volthangrom 

and finally, Abaddon. 

Hope this can still help other DM's. Most of the names I made up. 

I give my dragons the simplest possible names... Ing, Wyn, Min, Una. They've got no need to impress you. They were here first. They'll still be here when your bones are dust.

Who said Dragon names have to be weird and wonderful. I have had a tarquin terroise a town, a Brenda offer sage advice and a Barry be a big bad before now :) 

Let's name a fearsome, ancient red dragon, Bob the Breaker! 

Quote from Redshadowblade8 >>

Let's name a fearsome, ancient red dragon, Bob the Breaker! 

 I agree. Nothing strikes fear into the heart of players like "Paul" the ancient white wyrm.

But seriously, dragons named after Greek mythological figures sounds quite fearsome. A dragon named "Kronos the Devourer" or something like that would definitely strike fear into a player's heart. The dragon who attacked the town given by Scarlock actually has a decent name, for a copper dragon that is. 

Not saying "Bob" or "Paul" is entirely useless, you can probably put those names as human forms for metallic dragons. "Scarlock" is a decent name, too. 

Ravagore is titled Lord of the Icy Peaks but I think that's quite a common title for a white dragon. 

Overall, Bob is a good alias for a dragon's humanoid form, but not the true dragon. Barry is also nice for a metallic dragon's humanoid form. 

Bloodglitter(Red Dragon). I envision this dragon as red ground color and gold speckled. Venomolech or Venommolech a Green Dragon. Ember a Red Dragon. Troquemada a Fire Dragon(as in the Dragons of Summer Flame). 

I just want to point out that if you stop using dragons, this stops being an issue. I got bored of dragons long ago - but before that, I used a dragon name for any group of players that hadn't heard it before: Skizz - which is short for Aaszkizzlyar the terrible. Which, by the way, is always a three-headed dragon, because frigg your resistances. 

These days dragons are always either extinct - or they are phenomenal. As in, they're Icemaw, The Dragon of Winter, or Granite, the Bedrock. Gale, the Dragon of Storms. You get it. So they're unique, not tied to the stupid chromatic thing - and, well, also actually immortal.

This is a fun thread! I love all the creative dragon name suggestions. The idea of giving dragons ordinary human names like Bob is hilarious and could be a great twist! Definitely gonna steal some of these for my next campaign. And I know a fantastic tool to generate name for that.
