Alternative Names for Dragonborn?

[Fallen Seraph]

Well in my first-game, there won't be any Dragonborn.

However, in another game I plan to do, where it is somewhat based off Ancient Egypt, Africa, Middle-East, Souther Spain. I plan on calling the Dragonborn = Atummans.

Since the Egyptian primeval God, Atum who created the world has lizard and snake as his symbols: easily turned into dragons, and bulls and lions: shows the might and power of the Dragonborn.

Scarran? The lizardy bad guys from Farscape, right?

They call themselves "herpetians". Sages call them "dragonborn", though this is inaccurate. Most people just call them "scales", though some of them consider this derogatory.

Scaly devils! (grab your torch and pitchfork!)

I'll probably call them Dracons, à la Wizardry.

In a similar discussion on the Wizards forums, I heard the very interesting name "Gendrak," which is derived from the Greek for "Kin" and "Dragon." It isn't as hokey as "dragonborn," and it even sounds draconic.

I am wanting to make a Iron Kingdoms 4e game. I have some players who want to play a dragonborn. People familiar with the setting know why this is difficult at best. It would help me to ditch the name Dragonborn.

In the same vein tieflings could be Turathian, Turathans, Baelans or, my favorite, Baelings.
