Can we have dragon naming convention? [Spoilers?]

[Atoli]

Dont young dragons eventually become adult dragons, why would their names change after becoming and adult?

Because that is a custom in many cultures, actually?
Full names are given when the person hits adulthood, until then they are treated as something that belongs to the person who made it, aka the parents, so the name reflects that.
With the nearly infinite age dragons can reach, it wouldn't be too weird to have that kind of tradition with their fledgelings who are merely 30-80 years old. The form of the name fit the idea, but like I said, that's not it since adults have the same type of name

Ratatosk(r) is also from Norse mythology. I think it's a squirrel or a rat, though.

(although it might be of gaulish origin..?) like Gullinkambi.

Gullinkambi probably has a meaning in old norse. I'm just thinking so because of so many of the dragons being named based on Norse mythology, and the fact that Heimdall has another name of Gullintanni, meaning golden toothed. Freyr also has a golden bristled boar named Gullinbursti.

edit: Oh! I stopped being lazy and went to look it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Gullinkambi ^^

[Atoli]

Yeah that was just a wild guess by the sound of it since I don't know norse vocabulary
If the whole names are appearently taken straight from Old Norse, is that also the case for the other 2 types of names?

Gullinkambi is Norse. It's the name of a rooster in Valhalla that, with two other roosters (Fjalar who lives in Jotunheim, and an unnamed one in Helheim), will crow when Ragnarok begins.

Ratatosk is also Norse, it's the name of the squirrel that travels up and down Yggdrasil, trading insults with the unnamed eagle who sits on top of the World Tree, and Nidhoggr

It seems as if the high ranking/powerful dragons at least have a single name and are usually nordic in origin. Not sure if/how age factors I think there was atleast one Ess something something that's atleast 1000 years

I opened this thread thinking you guys were talking about specifically the Dravanian naming conventions (which we can start listing examples of and try to figure something out; sometimes things are obvious like with moogles). The conventions for dragons in general are much easier: big, important dragons get famous names from legends you'd find on Wikipedia. Everyone else gets names pulled out of obscurity from various nuanced encyclopedias (monster manuals, mythology compendiums, crytozoology lists).

I'd like to know the naming conventions of the dragons in Anyx Trine.

[WyrahFhurrst]

I think all but a few dragons are named in the draconic language of FFXIV. Certainly some are named in Earth languages, but it seems like a good bit are named in a unique language.

[Eisengrim]

I just like that Hraesvelgr means "corpse swallower".

[Atoli]

Oh right, about the dragon language..is it similar to any real life language?
Is it just gibberish or did SE actually make up a language with vocabulary, grammar and everything else?
