I am soooooo excited, 2012 is the YEAR of the DRAGON so I’ve been playing around with a new toy sewing pattern design…..
a dragon!!!!
A little while back when I asked if I should consider doing a course on How to design Soft Toys, there were a few people who were interested in knowing how I go about designing softies… so I thought I’d give you a bit of insight! 🙂
First I think a LOT about what I want MY dragon to look like.
I ask myself, “what actually makes a dragon a dragon?” I need to figure out what features my dragon pattern must have to make it look like a dragon. Then I collect ideas over time, which can be from anything from gift cards to small ornaments.
Having a 3-D object like an ornament helps me to get an idea of the shape of a dragon. I kept knocking bits off this poor dragon and had to keep gluing him back together!!!
And I trawl the internet for hours….
The internet is an amazing place for ideas – the obvious one -a dragon tattoo!I always add the word ‘CUTE’ in a tattoo Google search so hopefully I can avoid anything too vulgar. STILL, I have to stop my imagination… I always wonder EXACTLY WHERE the tattoo is on the person…. ha!ha! : )
I even found a cute sleeping dragon cake for inspiration! This cake is AMAZING – I think it’s looks too good to eat!
I also decide what I DON’T want MY dragon pattern to look like!
This is probably THE most important part of the whole toy pattern design process, well it is for ME! It’s vital for my reputation that the toy sewing patterns I design are UNIQUE!
I don’t want to copy anyone intentionally – or UNintentionally! So a big part of my dragon pattern research was looking at other people’s dragon pattern designs! I wanted to make sure that my dragon looks NOTHING like ANYTHING I have seen and ALSO, because a lot of my friends are toy designers, I don’t want my designs to be similar to their creations!
I love this cute fleece dragon pattern designed by one of my favourite toy designers, Mariska Vos-Bolman from DIY Fluffies in the Netherlands. Yoki is so distinctive, you probably even recognise him! That’s why I decided to make my dragon completely different and so mine will be a lying down dragon! :0
Another favourite soft toy designer and friend of mine is Jeniffer Carson who has to be THE actual queen of dragon pattern design! She even goes by the name of “The Dragon Charmer“!!!!
For many years I have thought I wouldn’t dare attempt to make a dragon as she does such an awesome job – BUT as it’s the year of the dragon – I thought it’s time I gave it a go! ha!ha!
Just look at the fabulous shapes of her dragon designs and the intricate details! Jennifer is is also a children’s author of fantasy books (of which I have signed copies!) and she makes all the fantasy creatures as patterns too – so much talent in one person… she is truly an inspiration!!!!
Then I put pencil to paper and draw some shapes…
ONLY then the sewing begins!!!!
I can’t show you too much as this is just a teaser blog post for my new dragon pattern…(ALL will be revealed later!) … but here are some of the first attempts at making him, to show you how I design my sewing patterns.
I like to use calico fabric when I am designing my patterns:
Why? Well, because it’s cheap, and this is important as I can sometimes make many many versions of a design until I am 100% happy that it is cute enough to put out for people to pay for!
NOT only that. Can you see the puckers in the seam below the dragon’s eye? WELL – that’s NOT good!!! I am a bit of a perfectionist and I want ALL the seams to fit exactly…. which can take a lot of tweaking!
I use a dark / contrasting thread for sewing up the toy pattern prototypes:
Why? Well, because it helps me to visualize the 3-D shapes when I compare the shape of the toy to the flat 2-D paper pattern pieces I drew.
I use the actual craft eyes that I will use for the finished toy in the design stage:
Why? I like to play around with different eyes at this stage of the pattern design. It helps me to decide on eye colour and and more importantly their position. It is amazing how a tiny change in eye position or size can change the expression of the toy’s face!
Ooooh, before I forget….
The whole point of this blog post was because I need help with the MOST IMPORTANT PART of a the toy pattern design process – CHOOSING a name! Soooooo, I’m asking for suggestions. ONLY one rule – it MUST start with the letter ‘D’ oh and one other rule…. it cannot be ‘Darius’ (because I think that’s already taken!)
Oh and it’s a competition too!
IF you choose the winning name – you will win a copy of the Dragon Pattern when it is released!!!! YAY!!! Can’t wait!
NOW, I’m looking forward to your name suggestions!
.
.
Till next time,
Happy Sewing,
Pauline
I think a great dragon name would be Delilah 🙂 well the face that it seems to have is a Delilah … I’m so excited about this pattern as I love dragons!!! Thank you for coming up with a pattern for one!!!
I think a cool name for the pattern would be either “Blaze” or “Puff” (like in the song “Puff the Magic Dragon”).
Dashing Damon
Draig for the name as its welsh for dragon and they are our national creature!
I think Drago is a great one as it is the Italian form of Latin for Dragon. I can’t wait to meet him!!
That should say Ddraig. Auto correct!
A lying down sleepy dragon has to be Dozy.
I think Danny the Dragon is suits him very well.
I love the sound of Damian the Dragon
Zeus is my suggestion 🙂
How about Dreamy the Dragon – cause he’s probably daydreaming about something fun. 🙂
How about dexter or delilah
I like Dyfed the Dragon.
Draco is my choice, also. Check this out: https://starryskies.com/The_sky/constellations/draco.html
DARLING!!!! What else could your Dragon be? Darling Dragon!!
Dojin the Dragon
Dojin (should have a little line over the “O” but I don’t know how to add it) is Japanese for a group of friends who share a common interest. That’s us – cute little creatures. Love them all. Go Pauline!
Drago!!
My suggestion is Dougall.
Dalton, Darcy, or (my favorite) Devon
Ooh! Dragons are my favourite! Can’t wait to see this one!
It’s nice to see a little into your creation progress too!
I think he should be called Duff the Dragon, since it’s got Celtic/Irish roots and sounds super cute!
falkor the luck dragon
Oops did not see the rule about the name starting with “D” so here is my real entry:). I think D’artagnan would be a good name for a dragon (u could call him Dart for short). I think this name would be cool because one of the musketeers was named D’artagnan and when I think of dragons I think of tough warriors :).
Daegal, Dax or Draco. 🙂
Im not sure quite why but I feel like he should be called ‘Jeremy’.
Darling dragon, because that’s what our creations are!
Arnold Archibald the III esquire of course
I like Drake or Darlene the Dragon, a boy & a girl!
Oh oops didn’t read the rules properly… Starting with D…. Derek the dragon.
I like the name Darby for a dragon . Yep Darby the dreamy dragon sounds good.
Dixie Dragon
opps i meant to type dalkor the luck dragon
Dakota the dragon, the name Dakota means Friend, and this dragon will be a friendly dragon so the name fits well…Also the name can be used for a girl or a boy dragon… 🙂
I sat with my family day care children and we think “dimity” is a great name for a dragon,
😉
I’m with Mary Ann Katz, call him Draco!!
It should be Daisy
Dorro the Dragon..is my suggestion. It sounds cute to me..lol
I thimk that Sebastian would be a good name for him
Dennis or Danny for a boy dragon OR
Dotty or Darcy for a girl dragon :). Can’t wait to see finished pics :).
Dermot the Dragon….
or there is Declan the Dragon!
i think Darcy dragon is a great name. because it could be male or female!!
I think of Wales when I think of dragons, therefore Dafydd seems apt, as it’s Welsh for David, which is also the Patron Saint of Wales. 🙂
I LOVE the idea of a dragon pattern, I adore them, probably because as a child my nickname was ‘dragon’ given to me by my late father. Dragons still remind me of him so I would say Draeck which mean dragon in medieval Dutch.
Ren
I am overwhelmed by the idea that she’s a SHE! How about Dorothy the dragon? 🙂
I think “Dana” would be a cute name and would work for either gender. 😉
Thank you for your webpage it is such an inspiration.
Hi, I like Donegal.
Dax Desmond Draven or Delaney
Dracik
My first thought was ‘Dusty the dragon’ so I’m going with this one 🙂
Looks very cute x
I reckon diesal the dragon. Helps to fuel the fire in him 🙂
When I saw your dragon the name Drophy Dragon(rhymes with Sophie)popped up and then Dalico Dragon (instead of calico)
My suggestion is Daffy. The dragon is the national symbol of Wales and one of the other symbols is their national flower, the daffodil.
Drakkon for a boy or Drakkina for a girl
Dusty!!!
I like Derek
I like the name Doroon, it is from one of my fav authors books.
I love the name DOZER the dozing dragon or DIPSTICK. So glad you’ve made a dragon I was born in the year of the dragon & my husband collect them hense the reason we have a pet iguana called Oscar it was the closest we could get to the real thing 🙂
I think Dufus would be a fun name!
Dormir because dragons should be a bit French!
Hi Pauline !
I’m suggesting you the 3D name (just joking) the “Darling Dude Dragon” for your cute new Dragon stuffy.
Happy Day !
With Best Wishes
Zimmy
My 9yr old DD thinks she looks like a “Demire the Dragon”
I like Dylan/Dillan (Welsh names) for a boy dragon, or Dilly (from the flower daffodil, Welsh emblem) for a girl dragon 🙂
Dormir means ‘to sleep’- so would be suitable for a sleeping dragon. Plus, I totally have that same pink resin dragon from the $2 shop!!
I think you should name your dragon Delia x
Darkin
I think you should name him Denali. He’s a dragon, he’s white and all dragons love to perch on high mountain tops.
Dewy, draithus, delta, Dante, drago, daphne, dynastic, drachenstein, domo, drogon, dainte, daenerys (from game of thrones)
Dagmar The Dragon! That is my choice, it is a beautiful scandanavian name meaning glorious.
So many good suggestions – you’re going to have a hard tome choosing!
I think either David (as in St David, patron saint of Wales, where the dragon is very important) or Daphne for a girl dragon 🙂
Dozy Donnegal or Dozy Daisy
Hi Pauline, if it’s a girl dragon then I think Dakota (means friend) and I like D’Artagnan for a boy dragon. Good luck, giving someone/something a special name isn’t easy!
My suggest is “Dino”
I think you should name him Duke! X
Dafydd (Welsh for David)
https://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/dafydd
Dozer! Because I liked the ugly pink one with its tail over its nose, and everyone knows dragons spend a lot of time napping. Or Drowsy or Doozy. Maybe they could be twins. Arg, now I want to make a dwaggiefamily!
I like the name Draco the Dragon :3
Daisy or daffney
I think the dragon should be called ‘Dolly the Dragon’
I think Delia Dragon for a girl and Daniel Dragon for a boy (after my husband!)
Dreamy
Draco would be nice.
Hi, I love dragons!
I think Dargon, Dangor, Drogan, Drango, Dorang or Dorgan are great names for a dragon, girl or boy, because each one is an anagram of Dragon :0)
Dartainun noble, regent and fun.
Dusty
Dart! If we weren’t limited to ‘D’ I’d go for Elliott.
I think a great name for the dragon would be Dazzle!
I think Dante for a boy or Daisy for a girl, o really cant wait to see him/her 😉
i think Drake the Dragon would be a nice name.
I think Dante for a boy or Daisy for a girl, o really can’t wait to see him/her 😉 xx
The fisrt name that coming in my mind was Dylan!
🙂
Hi Pauline, love your cute toy softies! I think a cute, coy, and sleepy dragon could be called “Docile Demetrius”. He would be an invaluable, loyal approachable friend!
Kind regards, Christine.
How about Duke, Dewey, or Drat?
And, though it doesn’t start with a D, my kids and I just finished reading the My Father’s Dragon trilogy, and the dragon in the story is named Boris, which I love and thought of as soon as I read the contest!
I would like to suggest a very stately name for such an important Dragon.
I would like to call him SIR DRAGONIOUS.
I love the name dusty or dinky so it can be for both a boy and a girl 🙂 x x x
How about Digby Dragon sounds friendly but sophisticated like all good dragons;)
Draco the dragon!
How about ‘Dougal’ (pronounced Dugal)
Due to his green eye, I looked for shades of green beginning with d and found a rather posh Dartmouth, so maybe darty the dragon short for Dartmouth the dragon x
I like Drake for a boy and Drucilla for a girl x
I know exactly how hard it is to find the ‘right’ dragon. I took me months to find mine.
I think yours should be Daphne.
DRACO: Latin form of Greek Drakon, meaning “dragon.”
Hi, I love dragons! How about Douglas the Dragon? Or maybe Dante? Can’t wait to see your new pattern
I think Digby would be a great name for a dragon.
I think diamond would be perfect for a dragon x
Hi
I think Dex the Dragon would be a nice name for him. all your toys are so cute
thanks di
How about Dazzle? 🙂
Idris. It’s a very traditional welsh name and dragons are our national symbol. It’s also quite. Friendly name I think:)
Damian, Donald, or maybe Dillon. Or if it’s a girl how about Delilah, Dinah or Drucilla!
Druff – after Puff the magic dragon from my childhood. I still remember the words of that song. Daffy for a girl?
‘DRAGO’ the dragon
‘DALINDA’, the dragon
Bummer just read it had to start with D so I am putting a variation on my spelling:
Djwala
Daku
or Draki
How about Davina which means Beloved or friend for a girl or Drystan which means an advisor to arthur.
Draak the Dragon – it’s Africaans for Dragon.
I love Dalbert and Daphne.Also Darrell and Douglas and the family is complete.
Mindy the dragon! Mindy is a pet form of melinda which means great dragon/serpent which it will be xxx
Darastix, Drake, Drago, Drama, Dorgan (rearrange dragon) Diego, Dagon, if it’s a girl it can simply be Dorothy or Dina. Drakon is the Greek name for dragon.
I think Dallan (it means unseeing) and we dont usually see Dragons 🙂 Thanks for your website, I only recently came across it, such wonderful, cute inspiration and easy to follow patterns. Thanks you.
I think her name should be Damica – it is a French name meaning friendly. She seems to be a real charmer. 😉
Ding ling or donuts
Ducky the Dragon
Dreamy Dragon Wouk be a great name for a sleeping, cuddly dragon!
I definitely like the name ‘Doodle’! It reminds me of that cute boy in ‘The Scarlet Ibis’!
Dexter sounds good
How about Dionisio, Darwin, Dilbey, Dreamon (= dream on!), or better, since the dragon is a Welsh symbol, some Welsh names such as: Dylan, Dilys, Dilwen, Dai or Dafydd (= David, patron saint).
How about Dixon..it means powerful ruler a good strong name for a dragon..
Dalby or Dani
Dusty the Dragon!
I don’t know how many times we can vote but here are some other suggestions.
Dave, delwyn, Dewey or Dewi, Dilys or Dylis (means genuine in Welsh) Drystan, and Daffydd.
I say Demetrius or Demetri for short!
I just love dragons. Names- Diggy. Dudley. Dilly. Dylan. Drake. I love the name Wilson or Henry but I know you want a name with a D. Looking forward to see what his name is.
Dill
Dreebles the Dragon….
Well, I have to give it a go. 🙂
My suggestion is “Dimitri”
Hi Pauline!
Dalbert, Dempsey, Dimple, Derward/Derwood, Digbee/Digby,or Dumont are all fine dragon names !
Awesome. How about the name Damian:)
I like the name Darma; I also like the green eyes!!!!
Dalinda
Variant of English Delinda, meaning noble serpent
Hello Pauline,
How about ‘PYE’ for a name. Cheers Kathryn

Here are my suggestions: Dorian; Dagon; Devon; Drake; Daythe; Deneth (Dennis)Darius; Dante; Deandre; Dao; Dai; Dalbert; Danior; Deacon; Declan; Dillion; Delwyn; Delvin; Dema (girl); Dewei (girl); Dewey (boy); Dino ,Dion (girl), Dixon,
Hello Pauline’
How about ‘Sassy the dragon’ Kathryn

I think ‘Damian’ the dragon sounds great!
Sorry Pauline just realised the name had to start with D how about dwayne the dragon.
Hello Pauline how about Duppy the dragon. Cheers Kathryn
hi! love that you have done a dragon. i think its name should be Draco or Daffodil.looking forward to the release. 🙂
Dragon Lucho
Davis…Davis Dragon. :O)
Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Dragon Dario
Hi Pauline How about Druella the dragon
Dinki i like that
I’d name him Dominic after my dragon loving grandson!! Dom for short ( his nickname!)
Darwin the Dragon. But I see a post for Dexter, and that’s really cute! How about Dempsey the Dragon? or Dilly Dragon? Without being able to see the whole toy, it’s hard to pick a name….but that’s the fun in this, right? Dottie the Dragon for a girl with polka dot fabric!!
I love dragons, I think Draco would be a great name or a dragon!
I’m so excited about this pattern, I love dragons! I think Draco would be a fitting name for a dragon!
Duffy, Diego, darling, Damian, domino, deedo, doedoe, (the dragon)
How about the name Moglie (long o). Can’t wait to see him!
Alicia
Definitely ‘DIAMONDO’ an absolute diamond of a dragon! I am sure that when he is finished he will be a perfect gem!
Duncan!
I think “Danger” would be a good name for him/her. It would be kind of ironic as I am sure your dragon will be too cute to look dangerous in any way! My son was so excited to hear you have a new dragon apttern – I guess I know what toy I will be making him next! Thanks for all your hard work. Emma
Dixon for a boy and Dixie for the girl
Draco ( means dragon in Latin)
Jacob. I know a Jacob who absolutely LOVES dragons. Would be cool to sew acob the sdragon as a welcome to the world and many sweet deams gift to the boy they are expecting this december.rti
I like Drew for a boy and Delilah for a girl, but good ole Danger will do.
I didn’t read through all the above comments (so many!), so I hope I haven’t repeated. How about “Dagon the Dragon” or “Dixie”. I’m kind of partial to “Delinda” also 🙂
Duane for a guy and DeeDee for a girl. Thanks for showing us this design in progress. It’s fascinating to me how you can form these shapes in your wonderful brain. I LOVE seeing it!
I like Desmond Dragon! (Des to his friends of course!)
I think a great name for the dragon would be……
DUDE.
Thanks. Janet Jones.
Well now, the dragon is obviously a boy and he will be sure to become a ‘beloved friend ‘to all, which is precicely what this name means…….
DARWIN
So that is my choice.
I really would love to have the pattern to make for a spcial little 2 year old named Tom who loves animals. He has some Funky Friends already.
Donna, in Canada
Dreana the Dragon
Drenda the Dragon
I choose Derek and this is why.
Today 31st August is the 3rd anniversary of the day our son was taken from this earth, his name is Richard DEREK Meese and he loved dragons.
Since it can’t be Rich the Dragon, to choose Derek the Dragon, would be a fitting tribute to my son’s memory.xx
My son is right in to dragons, and has many books with various dragons and names. I thought of him immediately when I read you had created a dragon pattern.
If I were to create this dragon for my son, his name would be DreamKeeper. Can’t wait to see the finished product! Thanks for sharing your talents.
Dalinda , davin , or dreamdrops 🙂
I think he should be a welsh dragon so Draig meaning dragon
I like Blossom…..
Hi, I think Digby would be the best name for our cute dragon. Looking forward to seeing it.
Draggy the Dragon!
I think you should call him ‘Dillius’ the dragon.
can’t wait to meet him! x
I wanted ‘Beth’ because my year-of-the-dragon girl (who’s about to turn 12 next month) is ‘Beth’ – but … since it has to start with a ‘D’ – my dad’s name is Donald, shortened to Dolan (D’oh!-lan) which is what my late mum called him as an affectionate nickname. Dolan Dragon. Sounds as lovely as my Dad – the best Dad ever – loving but mischievous, and with a fire in his belly to look after his loved ones at all costs! Perfect Dragon Traits!
I think Dinkleberry the dragon goes quite well. Or Doug the dragon!
How about Doranth. Hints at the mythical but you can call her Dora for short.
What about Diggory, Duke, Dwayne or Dwight 😉
I like Delbert the Dragon or Deli the Dragon, Deli could be for delicious or delirious.
Dragoria …
I think that Diego would be cute.
deco the dragon
A pretty girl dragon should be named Dacia-pure white,glowing. Made out of beautiful white fabric and jewels.
I strong boy dragon should be named Deuce-devilish
I cannot wait.
What about Dargol?
Darvon, delyla, delight, delightful, destiny, dreamer, daffodil, darshon, damsel, daisy, daeshon, dew drop, dawn, dearful, dusky, dainty, dabble, dandy, daphne, dark darling, day dream, dazzle, debacle, decendent, delicate, deliverance, demetria, demetris, demetrius, daunting, dartanyon, dibble, dingle, dinky, docile, drowsy, darcy, draggle, drizzle, droplet, drover, druid, dapper, dahlia, dapple, daring, dash, daunte, dimple, dollop, doodle, doozer, doozie, doodad, dulce/means candy, dusty, dilly dally, dudley, dearie, dorian, darby, delphine,
SPARKY! 🙂
Dreyfuss the Dragon for a boy. Delinda the Dragon for a girl.
Drexel the drowsy dragon!
DENZIL!!!! or Doris 🙂
It’s gotta be DENZIL…!
Draconius seems like a good name
I think you should use the name Demetri Dragon (I think I spelled that right, lol)
Cecily the slumbering dragon or
Sefira the sleeping dragon?
I’m curious to see what it looks like!
Destiny
Drago meaning “precious”
Melody the dragon 🙂
if it wasn’t for the rule, and you made your dragon nice bright colors
I would call him ‘snapdragon’ after the flower. cant you find a way to
bend the rules a bit?
I’m curious to see what it looks like too, I like dragons.
Hi, I love D’artagnan as a name for a dragon. All for one & one for all…this would definitely be a dragon who would be there for you!! 🙂
I like DARWIN because it means ‘dear friend’, although DEWI (means beloved) is also quite cute!
Daylyn or Daelyn the Dragon!
Dewi is the known name of the Welsh Dragon and was named so after St. David. The name Dewi is one of the Welsh forms of the name David. I think Dewi is a fine name for a dragon.
I suggest the name DARCY
darcy the dragon is from a song of the same name – poor darcy gets into trouble with his fire but all ends well and the prople love him – am sure we will love this dragon too
The dragon should be Dirk. This is my husband’s name–he’s more like a big teddy bear than a dragon, but it’s a good solid name.
My suggestion is Dakota. Its a Native American name which I think means Friend or Friendly !!
My choice is Demetri.
Darwin the dragon, Drake the Dragon, Doris the Dragon, Darla the Dragon, Dooda the Dragon
Dante Diablo Dragon! He has to have red in his fabric!
Hi
I think you should name it: Albert the Dragon.
It is a name everyone can say and remember. It even has a royal issue to it LOL.
Hi
I was stupid. It has to be with D.
so here is another idea:
Devon
Devious
Devy
Dary
How about Fiero?
Oh, you want a D.. Nice names are said already..
If you haven’t found one already, some suggestions:
Dradel
Drasey
Dirk
Druse
Mr. Dew Dumpling Dragon
Damian seems like the perfect name for this little guy!
hI!
wHAT ABOUT: David (my brother’s name) Drakus, or Damiano?
Good luck!
Meadow, Diego, Donna, domino, diangelo, Damian, dominic, dee dee, dandilion. (the dragon)
it think it should be gumboots tahts what i named my dragon but if it has to start with d delta a boy one dewey
i also have suggestons of ither animals that you might made use star signs for names to they work really well
My suggestion is Deianeira which is the wife of Hercules.
It is a mythical name which would be a great name for yor dragon.
I think either Ember or Blaze!
Well I like: Dina and Donna for girl names and for boys: domino or drake.
I hope you like them too!
Shelby
Dweamz the happy dreamer Dragon. xox
Ok, not sure after reading all the suggestions above if this is already chosen:
Dax, daxon, doogle, Denzel, Dansel (non-gender specific )
Dansen, Denzon
Good luck choosing a name, there is so many to choose from!
Darcy for a boy or could be for a girl
Darth or Darthmore
I reckon ‘Delilah’ (as in from the famous song!) as Tom Jones is Welsh and dragons are there theme!
I am thinking Dorcas would be a good name for the dragon
Ooh, see dat big dreen eye mummy!! I like dis colour dreen. Drass is dreen; dragon is dreen!
Yes indeed! DREEN the Dragon!
(ps – now all the eyes need to be the colour dreen – but Dreen is best :))
My first thought was George until I read that it had to start with D. Then I thought Denzel, or Damson for a girl.
Dyllis the Welsh Dragon
I think his name sould be “Davey” which means dearly loved. thank you for letting me join in.
How about Dino the Dragon.
I like the name DragonHeart
Drakon – Greek for dragon. I adore dragons, I’m sure this one will b my fave pattern yet!
How about DEMELZA? It’s a Celtic name xx
Dimbleby – not sure why, just came to mind and rolls off the tongue
Trinity – from The Matrix
Hi Pauline
I think a version of the Greek word for dragon which is ‘Drako’ for a boy and a girl version with long eyelashes would be Drakena. I can already see a boy made with blues and greens and a girl in pinks and purples.
Doogie the dragon
darcool dragon. for boy
and
Dillow dragon (because of her yellow eyes) for girl.
:-*
Daleen!
Thought it makes a mysterious kind of feeling, perfect for a dragon which is originaly a lonesome creature…
Diggory Dragon!
My name suggestion is Dallas the Dragon, I thought it was kinda cute for a dragon! 🙂
I like Dunnegan the Dragon for a boy dragon; Daisy the Dragon for a girl dragon. I look forward to this new pattern!
Snapp Dragon! Can’t wait to see the new pattern.
I have a few suggestions. My favourite is Dalby the Dragon but my son suggests Dean for a boy or Drusilla for a girl. Can’t wait to see what you choose x
How about Dignity Dragon xxx
Dreyfus the Dragon!
Druggen
Drizzel
Dewdrops
What about Dungeon, like dungeons & dragons lol
I think the BEST name for this cutie is Darby the Dragon. Could be either a male or female name, too, since I’ve known both a boy and a girl with this name.
Derek. One of my twins is named Derek, he is sleepy and adorable just as you described your dragon.
deacon
If it is a girl it should be dawn witch means break of day or it could be Della witch is the noble and if it’s a boy it should be delano witch means of the night
Darcy could be for boy or girl, then when it grows up you can add Mr. or Miss to the name
I like the names Derron, or Danton.
The first meaning “Great” which all dragons are, from great friends, to great pains if they decide to steal your socks!
The second meaning “Everlasting” much like the love, wonder, and whimsy of mythical creatures.
I really can not wait to see the final product of your dragon design!
The process has been a fun thing to follow ^_^
How about Phang or Baby Phang, Jr.? I can see he hasn’t got his fire power yet.
Rufus x
I think he /she should be called. Puff the magic dragon
Or magic , puff He’s / she’s gonna be lovely what her the name x
I just thought of another one
Nessie , ness for loch ness x x
Oh I didn’t realise it had to start with a D
Dilbey. Dinatello
Dartanian the Dragon has a good ring to it!!
I think he should be named “Duzi”
What about Doeschi? it means sweetheart on Curacao.
Doeschi Dragon sounds cute
Drusilla the Dragon and I’ll be making her when the pattern is for sale.
What about Drogan the Dragon???? Or Drizzle/Druzilda/Doris!!
Digby. Actually suggested by the man of the house. 🙂
Danny/Danni or Dimity.
Draik the Dragon
I like Delbert…so cute…and it means Day-Bright
Ok…that is my two cents…
I like Dozzer because i think he’ll be a cute sleepy dragon.
Damian
Delilah. You knew that Welshman Tom Jones was crooning about a dragon in his 60s classic, didn’t you?
Dalton the Dragon
Dimitri
Dragonia (female) or Dragonio (male)
Some ideas for a dragon name is Drago, Draco, Dusk, Dulcy.
I thought of “Dinky”
Thanks for making such great patterns!
I love Dimity for a girl – ‘Greek: from the cotton material’
Agondray the Dragon – Dragon in Pig Latin
Digby Dragon
Wow! So many names – how about Deano?
Dante…as in Inferno 😉
My suggestion is “Daniel Dragon” after I child I know who LOVES soft toys. He gets a new funky friend for every birthday and Christmas.
Demitri would be a wonderful name for such a sweet dragon!!
the name that i think would really suit this little fella is Dimitri the Dragon or Dimka the Dragon for short. the meaning of Dimitri is “loves the earth or Earth Mother” in Russian. i think this name would be perfect form him.
Hi there, so many great names posted. Here are my suggestions:
Dash/a , Dejon, Doug, Dabi or Darwin!
Good luck.
Dragoslav the dragon, it is Slavic for dear glory and sounds brave!
what else but “Draco”? super cute for a dragon, and thnks for all your cute little funky friends, love them
I think Demerera for agirl dragon sweet like the sugar or Dixon for the boy very handsome and strong.
I like your Dragon to have the name “Dreco”
i would like the dragon to be called dosser
Dante: means “lasting” in Italian. I can’t wait to see the finished plush. 🙂
