Non-Traditional Post Migration: While sometimes controversial, there are occasions where the name of an important figure is given to any child. As gender and cultural norms were not impressed on foreign names for Dracolians when they began learning about them, it did not seem odd to use them for any gender. In cities like Opal and Alliance, where cultures are more heavily foreign, it is considered odd and can spark up gossip, but is never any worse than that. No one has been ostracized or prejudiced because of their name.

Family names

They are made up of three archetypes:
[Location + er ending verb]
Ex: Abysswalker, Bostender, Seacaller, Skygrabber
[Color or element + anatomy]
Ex: Redbeard, Firescale, Airfinger, Shadowclaw
[Location, event, or title]
Ex: Opal, Kant, Lum, Champion, Mother, Intervention, Farmer, Summit, Teacher
  The third kind is infrequent, but not rare. It is more common in Dracolians who do not normally live in a village, town, or city, or those who have been adopted due to loss of family or other strife. Some have taken or been given a new family name as a result of a great event.
In the case of legendary events, they no longer have a family name and adopt a new first name.
