youve caught my interest
i like dragons a lot, so im interested in ur story, but as for the name
Zuo is a chinese word meaning dragon, and heres some names of different species, maybe one will inspire u
Lung is another chinese word for a dragon in china, and there are four types of Lung, they are:
Tien-lung - the celestial dragon (tien means sky, and makes a great name)
Shen-lung - the spirtual dragon (shen makes a cool name, buts its also a nickname for the female name Shannon, and means 'evil in another language)
Ti-Lung - the earth dragon (Ty is a popular name, from the name Tyler)
Futs-lung - the underworld dragonThe great dragon in china who controlled all the river dragons was Chien-TangFaerie Dragon - ok this one doesnt help all to much, but these were little mini dragons, that looked more like giant butterflies, or faries
Wyvern - These dragons had two wings and only two legs, its a european dragon, it had a stinger on its tail, much like a scorpian (Wyvryn, a play on the word Wyvern means also 'jewelled valley' a fabelled place of the dragons (Nordic Mythology)
Hydra - classified as a dragon, these greek creatures sometimes had wings, and legs, sometimes not, and had multiple heads
Pernese Dragon (my favourite) - from Persia of course
Drake - only legs, no wings, a westren dragon
Amphiptere (Am-fih-teer) - no legs, only wings, these are mexican, the most popular Amphitere was Quetzalcoatl (kwet-zah-coat-al), u might notice this is a similar word to the bird the Quetal, which when flying looks like as serpant with its two feet long green tail feathers
Wyrm - (not a dragon to me, but w/e) - no legs, no wings, also know as the Guivre (Gy-veer) ok so i think thats a cool name... Guivre,
Lindworm - (maybe the name Lindsey) two legs, no wings, first discovered and recorded by Marco Polo!!!
Sea serpents... no interesting names here so ill skip it
Ouroboros - always holds its tail in its mouth, first found in Egypt, then Greece
Midgard Serpent - from norse mythology, a dragon that incompased the world and held its tail in its mouth
Amphisbaena (Ahm-fiz-bee-nah) - this dragon had a head on its neck, and on its tail, an african dragon
Naga - an indian dragon (east indian) with the bodys of a serpent, and the head of a human

Quetzalcoatl, I like that one, but, due to religious reasons, I'm not going to use it. I'm going to go with Tien or Shen-Lung. No offense to Phineas, but I like these more.

i was just curious what your story is about, just a quick over view of it,
i started reading it, but i just dont have the time to get to in depth
so is based on another world of sorts, or is this midevil times, or midevil times with a twist
just curious, i also like midevil times,
i have 21 novels (i havent started to write any of them :S) and 4 are based on dragons, phoenixs, and angels (not your Judeo-Christian angels)
and i have another based in China, around the times they had their great Dynasty's
so i was just interested in you, i know some time ago someone got quite agressive over ppl talking about non-name related material on this board so if you are interested my email is adriadracis@hotmail.com
hope to hear from you
btw i like Tien better~Silver (SD)
