IceWings: I think IceWings commoners would be in the habit of naming their dragonets after royalty, so any member of nobility becoming very notable usually leads to a large increase in their name’s popularity.
- Caribou (most common; because of princess Caribou’s gift of subsistence, she became unbelievably beloved by the people, the name has retained its number 1 spot on IceWing naming charts for centuries)
- Diamond/other blue, white or transparent minerals (losing popularity)
- Glacier (especially after her murder by Darkstalker)
- Snow-something (Snowflake, Snowstorm, Snowfall (into queen Snowfall’s reign the amount of IceWings named this SKYROCKETS, even more so than the usual queen’s name))
- Aurora/Borealis
- Winter (an exception to the royalty name -> popularity rule, it was already a common name before the prince, his parents just didn’t care enough to think of something original)
SandWings: They are surprisingly conservative when it comes to naming customs, any unconventional names are quick to be seen as weird. Like how Qibli was seen as having a weird name by his SandWing peers, but not by dragons from other tribes.
- Dune (most common; losing popularity due to how infamous the Talons of Peace member Dune has become for being the most wanted man alive for a hot minute)
- Sandstorm
- Viper/other snakes
- Quicksand
- Scorpion
- Scorch/Burn/Char/other fire associated things
MudWings: Like SandWings, MudWings are pretty traditional when it comes to names. In other tribes it’s often said that MudWing mothers don’t care enough to think of new ones.
- Reed (most common)
- Crocodile
- Bog/Marsh/Mire/other humid biomes
- Dragonfly (not actually a common name, but whenever a dragon from another tribe makes a MudWing caricature, it’s almost always named Dragonfly)
NightWings: Because of NightWing naming conventions, it isn’t very common for the exact same name to be used very often, it’s more that specific prefixes and suffixes are prevalent.
- Mindreader/Prophet/Oracle (most common; in ancient NightWing society, these names were seen as tacky, but in the time when the NightWings lost their powers, they were incredibly popular. These naming trends are coming to a close at present, because of how unbeloved NightWing powers currently are to the general public)
- Star-something
- Moon-something
- something-claws
- something-wings
- something-sight
SkyWings: They don’t have any strict naming conventions.
- Sunrise/Sunset (most common; though having two dragonets named Sunrise and Sunset respectively is seen as being in poor taste and will be heavily judged)
- Hawk/Eagle/Feather/other avian creature or attribute
- Crimson/Scarlet (formerly popular name, though the use of this name has dropped to zero in recent years)/other shades of red, orange or gold (traditional names; these are more prevalent in militaristic SkyWing families)
- Ruby/Garnet/Jasper/other red, orange or gold minerals are easy to find on a list of SkyWing names (gaining popularity, especially in groups that opposed queen Scarlet and militarism)
RainWings: Because the RainWings use a specific list of names on rotation, there aren’t actually any names more common than others.
SeaWings: They don’t have any strict naming conventions.
- Tsunami (most common; a pretty rare name at first, but in the present day, about every other dragonets is called this. The Missing Princess was a story as well-known in the Sea Queendom as Romeo and Juliet is to us and the Queen made a BIG deal out of her daughter’s return. Tsunami is a household name these days and a very trendy thing to name your dragonet)
- Ripple
- Turtle
- Gill (again, a household name due to the Queen and a story every SeaWing knows)
- Indigo (after the legendary ‘slayer of Albatross’)
LeafWings: They used to not have any strict naming conventions, but due to their dwindling numbers, nationalism has increased and traditional names are now strictly stuck to. There are currently so few LeafWings that there are few with the same names. The naming conventions differ between the Sap- and PoisonWings.
Sap- and PoisonWings:
- Maple (most common)
- Oak/other tree or plant species
- Photo
SapWings:
- Poppy/Hazel/other non-dangerous plants
PoisonWings:
- Nettle/other dangerous plants
SilkWings: They don’t have any strict naming conventions.
- Monarch (most common; after the great Queen)
- Nectar/Pollen/Honey
- Morpho (in particular for SilkWings with a lot of blue. In recent years it’s started losing popularity and these days naming a blue dragonet Morpho is seen as too on-the-nose)/other butterfly species
- Luna (after both the moth and the old word for ‘moon,’ which Clearsight was rumored to have received her powers from. The name became even more common after the defeat of the Othermind)/other moth species
- Spinner/Weaver (same as with the MudWing name ‘Dragonfly,’ these are more common as SilkWing caricatures by HiveWings than as actual names)
HiveWings: Similar to IceWings in that they like naming their dragonets after royalty. Since the splitting of the Silk- and HiveWing tribes, this tradition is slowly losing popularity.
- Scarab/Jewel (most common; gaining popularity)
- Wasp (used to be the most common; though same case as with ‘Scarlet’, it had a VERY definitive cease in prevalence)
- Tsetse/Hornet/Vinegaroon/Bloodworm (least common out of the royalty derived names)/Mantis/Cicada
- Yellowjacket (though hip parents just go for ‘Jacket’. This is the Wings of Fire equivalent of naming your daughter Heaighleigh instead of Hailey)
- Scorpion (when Pantala and Pyrrhia first established contact, there was a joke going around about the HiveWing Scorpions and the SandWing Scorpions being related. This positively impacted the relationship between the two tribes and further strengthened the bond between Pantala and the Pyrrhian westcoast. It also sparked conspiracy theories)
All I can think about is Kestrel not dying and given a chance to show that small side of her that worried about those young Dragons that she had shown shortly the last time we saw her.
Cavewings like Bonewings live underground but they live in two separate areas
Cavewings like damp areas and have a moss aesthetic to them also may have a few mushrooms growing on the moss that sticks to them and they generally have reflective underwings. They're mostly black, brown, green and purple, they befriend frogs and can't stand to be out in the sun for too long or away from damp areas otherwise they dry up. They purely have night vision and the outside world can be too bright for them during the day so if they do come out of their Caves they come out at night. Cavewings love to roll around in wet moss. Instead of fire they exert water.
Bonewings have a Skeleton head and claws and tails also the bone at the top part of their wings, also their spines have bones sticking out the rest of their bodies are generally black and grey or brown, maybe dusty yellow and live under the dessert. Bonewings are generally silent creatures and like to sleep a lot, they often grind their teeth and scratch their claws against animal bones for stimulation purposes, they enjoy the warm and dry environment and are uncomfortable damp or wet. Bonewings also really enjoy gold and jewels and can most often be found decorated in them, even their young.
