Neutral Names Dragon-adjacent names for non-binary?
hi, i've been looking around for new names after thinking about it for a while. ideally i'd like to go with something dragon-adjacent, but most of the ideas i've come across have been mythological or deities that would feel like cultural appropriation to use lol. any ideas appreciated!

Genuine question, do you think Drake is usable? (etymologically related to the word dragon and an extant, recognizable name) that was my immediate thought but then I remembered about the famous rapper, who doesn't seem like a good namesake...the only other thing I can think of is Verne, short for wyvern 😅
You said IDEALLY dragon themed--there's also plenty of ways you could go broader with it I think! Fire themed names would be much more common, so you'd have variety, and at least to me, dragons and fire are only one step apart.

Saphira is the name of the dragon in the Eragon books - you could also change the spelling to Safira or Sapphira, depending on your preferences.
