Why dragonborn names?

Dragons are mythical creatures with divine abilities and pure hearts. Dragons play crucial roles in ancient and contemporary myths, stories, movies, and video games. They are probably the only non-humans believed to have souls in the ancient world. Dragonborns are magical humanoid creatures from the hands of the dragon gods. They were created with the attributes and personalities of dragons. Naming your game or story characters after Dragonborns confers your passion for the myth and the characters. Children wishing to traverse through the 'Dungeons and Dragons' universe, may choose to build their hero as a powerful Dragon-born character to utilize its unique abilities in the adventure. But, what do you name your Dragonborn hero? Find the perfect Draconic name for your hero or use these suggestions to create your own Dragonborn name, and build a background story for your character. Of course, you can also call your baby the male, female, unisex Dragonborn names. Dragonborn clan names are also suitable for sports team and band names, events, vehicles, or artworks.
