Pretty, highfalutin, bizarre, and flat-out cruel names for my FR dragons.
  1. ADELAIDE
    • Adelais

      • Description:

        Adelais is a feminine name of Old German origin, representing a beautiful medieval variant of Adelaide. The name means 'noble kind' or 'of noble type,' combining 'adal' (noble) and 'heid' (kind, type). Popular among European nobility during the Middle Ages, Adelais carries an aristocratic, vintage charm. The name fell from common usage by the Renaissance but has seen occasional revivals among those appreciating historical names. Its pronunciation (AD-eh-lays) offers a pleasing rhythm, while its spelling evokes images of medieval courts and chivalry. Though rare today, Adelais provides a distinctive alternative to the more common Adelaide or Adeline, appealing to parents seeking names with historical depth and feminine elegance.

    • AMANDINE
      • AMBROSIA
        • Antoinette

          • Origin:

            French feminine diminutive form of Antoine

          • Meaning:

            "priceless one"

          • Description:

            This feminization of Anthony, like other early French forms, such as Babette and Nanette, is not heard as often as it once was, but it could be time for a reappraisal of this delicate Gallic choice.
        • Artemis

          • Origin:

            Greek mythology name

          • Meaning:

            "safe or butcher"

          • Description:

            Artemis, one of the key figures of the female Greek pantheon, is the ancient virgin goddess of the hunt, wilderness, animals, childbirth, and a protector of young girls, later associated with the moon. Artemis is the equivalent to the Roman Diana, but a fresher and more distinctive, if offbeat, choice.
        • AUGUSTINE
          • Absinthe
            • Agathoclia
              • Amalasuintha
                • AngerBull
                  • Aristophanes
                    • Aslan
                      • Asphodel
                        • Balthasar

                          • Origin:

                            Greek

                          • Meaning:

                            "God protects the king"

                          • Description:

                            Balthasar was one of the biblical Three Kings who visited the infant Jesus, also used by Shakespeare and in the oil-rich Getty family; offbeat and intriguing. Balthazar is another, equally appropriate spelling.
                        • Barnaby

                          • Origin:

                            English variation of Barnabas, Aramaic

                          • Meaning:

                            "son of consolation"

                          • Description:

                            Barnaby, a genial and energetic name with an Irish-sounding three-syllable lilt, is an ancient appellation that manages to be both unusual and highly attractive and deserves to be used more than it is. A sweet-spot name that's a real winner.
                        • BATHSHEBA
                          • BENEDICK
                            • Boaz

                              • Origin:

                                Hebrew

                              • Meaning:

                                "swiftness"

                              • Description:

                                Now that such Old Testament patriarchs as Elijah and Moses fill the playground, Boaz seems downright baby-friendly, having more pizzazz than many of the others, perhaps as a successor to Noah.
                            • Boheme

                              • Origin:

                                French word name

                              • Description:

                                "Girls Gone Child" blogger Rebecca Woolf made Boheme a first name when she gave it to one of her twin daughters (the other one's name is Reverie). La Boheme -- "The Bohemian" -- is a Puccini opera that was transmogrified into the modern play Rent. Boheme means a literary or artistic person who lives outside conventional society.
