Dragon Names

- It's time once again to ferret out those murderous vampires in a new VAU - Vampires Amongst Us. A cross between Cluedo and a roleplay, sometimes gory and often hilarious! Find out more and sign-up! here.
I was thinking more along the lines of an actual name, an example from a book I've been reading is 'Tingtaglia'.
Although some good names may come from description so here goes:
Physical Description:
The dragon is a male, and looks (quite surprisingly really) like the new Highelf dragon, with the long spines and horns on his face, slightly converted in places. His colours are purple and white with darker tones. He suffered a crippling injury in the past (which accounts for his stats). He is agile yet not particularly strong (-1 to hit) and is an ice dragon (a breath of cold, similar to the poison gas).
Personality Description:
He is extremely intelligent and proud despite his injuries and regards most races of the world as a human regards insects. He is loyal to his companions and regards anyone who breaks an oath with him as deserving to die, much like a dwarf.
Thats on the spur of a moment.

The vicious Bane of Kislev, Icewind, The snowmonster, Chillbreath, the names are many for this beast that has plagued the snowblasted lands of proud kislev. But few know and dare utter his real name, for to do so is to call upon the great drake and bring doom upon oneself. It's whispered around the countryside by practitioners of dark arts and the like. The name they know him by is Hee'stien or in the tongue that imperials speak; Hergosten.
:O
that's also on the spur of a moment. :)

You might want to look at the few known names for Dragons in WHF.
Seraphon (Malekith), Minaithnir (Imrik), Galrauch etc.
Reyasaltien is a fine name though.

I'm still thinking for some names.Dragon associated with fire and braveness.I will try to have some search first.
I'll have to check Dragonslayer to see if they name the dragon Gotrek and Felix fought.
In general, I've always thought of dragons having names that have a.... Northern European sound to them.

Those aren't dragons, those are oversized snakes. Or to put it another way, the North European dragon is to the Warhammer universe what the Chinese dragon is to little kiddies who think that they can win a war by putting up posters with slogans like 'Slightly Bad Things Please Happen To Our Enemies'
I actually quite like the Chinese dragons. And its hardly slightly bad things, famine? Drought? Natural disasters?
Perhaps, though the Chinese ones are divine creatures and are much more often associated with timely rains, good harvests, etc. They're waaaay too pretty to fit into Warhammer though
And once again I overdid my post, in my defence I'll claim to be under the influence of the narcotic known as 'Discworld novels'. Out of the top of my head i'll suggest Skellige in answer to the original question.

Here are a couple I think might suit:
CATTEGIRN: Welsh meaning "battle lord"
VORTIGERN: Old Welsh meaning "High Lord"
GUNDISALV: meaning "battle genius"
XIUHCOATL: Nahuatl unisex name meaning "fire serpent" or "weapon of destruction."
ASKOOK: Native American Algonquin name meaning "snake."
ASTAROT: In demonology, this is the name of a Prince of Hell, meaning "leading one" or "the chief." He is depicted in the Dictionnaire Infernal as a nude man with dragon-like wings, hands and feet, a second pair of feathered wings, and a crown. He is holding a serpent in one hand while riding a wolf-like beast.
EHECATL: Nahuatl name meaning "wind serpent."
NIDHOGG: Anglicized form of Old Norse NÃÂðhöggr, meaning "dreaded striker." In mythology, this is the name of a dragon or serpent who gnaws at the roots of the world tree Yggdrasill.
ORMARR: Old Norse name composed of the elements orm "serpent" and herr "army," hence "serpent army."
