Black dragon names - Dungeons & Dragons

This name generator will give you 10 names which will generally fit the black dragons of the Dungeons & Dragons universe.

Black dragons are vile, territorial beings who inhabit jungles, swamps and marshlands. They prefer to live alone and enjoyed spreading fear and to intimidate others to ensure their rule was absolute. Though talkative creatures would be used by male dragons in the hopes to spread rumors and stories about the size of their treasure hoard, something female dragons use to decide whether a male dragon would make for a good mate.

Black dragon names are fairly melodic and can be very long in the case of male names. Female names tend to be far shorter and far more melodic, though both sexes have harsher tones in their names as well. But while a male's name can be hard to pronounce, female names are generally easy enough.
Official male names include Sjachmalsvir, Mrinabnahor, Insithryllax and Hethcypressarvil. Official female names include Amnemis, Casarial and Vilholin.

All dragons may also have a nickname, one which could've been given to them by both allies and enemies alike. As such, a generally good dragon could have a negative nickname from an enemy, just as an evil dragon could have a positive nickname from their allies or themselves. Nicknames like "The Generous", "The Butcher", "Blazebringer" and "Terrorwing". The last 4 names are such nicknames.
