When I started naming my dragons, I had no idea how hooked I'd become. My first dragons were named after women in my favorite fandoms--Star Wars, LOTR, Star Trek, Marvel, Harry Potter. But then I ran low on names, so I did favorite book characters, inspiring historical figures, ancestors, etc. I stuck with female names, so I guess it's a gynocentric dragon world. Indeed, it's hard not to repeat a name and to think of new ones. Looking at the list, I see I am much better at choosing fictional characters than historical people as my heroes and inspirations. I should think on that. Though, if I were to do historical names, there are a lot of Janes, Elizabeths, and the like.
I even interrupted my post to check my dragons. I have a Double XP boost right now, helping me to level up. Don't I sound like I know what I'm talking about? That's part of the point, to give me some common computer game ground. Helps that it's fun, too.
