White dragon name help needed

Whizbang Dustyboots · Sep 10, 2007

I'm looking for an evocative name for a white dragon. My preference would be to use a word for "cold," "snow," "blizzard," "frostbite" or something similar from a language from a genuinely cold part of the world, like Sami, Finnish, Inuit or the like.

Anyone speak any of those languages, or know of a good resource for them?

Ooh, name it Chili Palmer!

Seriously though, I like to use Swedish Dictionary when I need a cold region name.

Good link.

I'm thinking Förfrysning the White at the moment. We'll see if I like it in a week.

Vilustuminen

finnish for cold and sounds rather grand

Nigliktok

Innuit i think for cold

I've found this article on Viking Bynames useful:

I tend to use www.20000-Names.com. Pertaining to this thread, there are sections for Finnish, Icelandic, Norse, Norwegian & Scandinavian names. Not sure if any relate directly to ice & snow.
