How to Train Your Dragon – IMAX Giveaway

by

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

My older two children have made it to the very top of their behavior charts, which means they have earned a day at the movies, complete with candy and popcorn. I am delighted that How To Train Your Dragon is headed to theaters this weekend, because they are both itching to see it. It also looks like a movie that I will enjoy, so it’s a win-win.

Based on the beloved children’s story, How to Train Your Dragon tells a tale of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who instead of embracing his family’s long-standing heroic dragon slaying tradition, faces a predicament when he comes face-to-face with a dragon who challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from a whole new perspective. How to Train Your Dragon is sure to be a hit with children and families everywhere as it’s packed with comedy, action and adventure!

  4. I would go off the deep end and name mine Princess Pealof – because my daughter is all about princesses and Mrs. Pealof is from iCarly…sounds appropriate for a dragons name, right?! Why do they have to sound sooo harsh?

  5. I would name my dragon “Salutations” it is long enough and it sounds like a nice and inviting dragon.

  43. My dragon would be either LÓEGAIRE Means “calf herder” and would have the nickname Arie… Or one of my kids said it would be BOB-BOB …. (ahem) we will not go into details of why that name here.. lol

  46. I’d name my dragon Celestina (Italian for Beautiful Woman)! The dragon doesn’t have to have a male name!

  49. I would name my dragon Pyromaniac!! Seems appropriate for a fire breathing dragon! Thanks so much!

  56. I have a 6 yr. old, and 3 yr. old (grand-children). I think we would pick as many unusual names as we could think of, see what they mean and pick out of a hat!

  65. I would name my dragon Smaug in honor of J.R.R. Tolkien. But hopefully my dragon would be nicer 😉

    Reply

  66. I would have to pick 1 of the following 3 names. Chompie, Pelosi, or Muffin. I’m really looking forward to this movie, it looks great and promises to finally have real world advice for training dragons… which I assume is a codeword for children 🙂 Thanks!

  73. My dragon would be named Draakeneist ( courtesy of 9yr old dragon expert!)

  78. We decided on Puffington, son of the famous Puff, the Magic Dragon. Great dinner conversation. lol Thanks.

  80. We would name him Smog after the dragon from the Hobbit. We are looking forward to seeing this film. Thank you for the chance to win.

  83. I would name him DR Parker Jointwater III because people would be like, “Hey look, that dragons a DR”!

  85. I would name it “Don’tOpenYourMouth” or DOYM for short–that way, whenever its name was called, it would not open its mouth and breathe fire and singe everything in its path! If the dragon was called by this, it would know it was a person who knew it well so it would most likely not accidentally harm anyone with its fire!

  92. I surveyed the boys and we’d name our dragon “Fiero”… so “Fiero” it is. Oh, the youngest if it’s a purple dragon we’ll call him “Nitro”.

    Reply

  101. I would pick a name for my dragon based on the sounds he/she made or the way my dragon looked. My kids are itching to see this too.

    Reply

  107. I asked my son what his name would be and he said “Chesterdamie”. Yep – don’t know where that came from, but that is it!

    Reply

  120. i’d name him mali-coli-alli(ma-lee-co-lee-all-e). I call him mali because he swims and the word mali reminds me of the word mahi and a mahi-mahi is a type of fish. I call him coli because he’s pure black and if you remove the i in the word the new word is col and col sounds like coal which is black. I call him alli because he can create waves and alli is a type of surfing move and surfers ride on waves.

  121. i would name my dragon evidreaon{EV-DRE-ON} because it would be evil and talented but also sweet and ready to attack at a momments notice 😀

    Reply

  123. I would name my dragon Norbert like Hagrid’s dragon from Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.

    Reply

  131. We would name our dragon Harley. A name that’s a little rough, but still lovable! We can’t wait to see the movie!

    Reply

  136. Perhaps people would think this is too ordinary for something cool like a dragon, but I would call my dragon Charlie. When I picture myself with a pet dragon, it would be a Charlie dragon.

    Reply

  149. I would name my dragon Mogwai. I wanted a pet when I was growing up and my parents wouldn’t let me have one. The name Mogwai is from the movie Gremlins. I thought Gizmo was so cute and he was a “Mogwai”.

    Reply

  155. I would name our family Dragon Fred. It’s an easy name to pronounce and not very conspicuous so as to tip off the landlord that he might need to increase a security deposit due to our new family member’s proclivity to burn things down when he gets excited.

    Reply

  167. My dragon would be name him “Nogard”. That is dragon spelled backwards. lol. And he would be trained with love, kindness, and lots of treats. : )

  171. Ever since I read “Dragon’s Milk” by Susan Fletcher, I’ve loved the names of the dragon hatchlings in the book: Pyro, Synge, and Embyr. I think I would name my dragon Flyckr. 🙂 Thanks so much for the great giveaway, this is a movie I’m definitely wanting to see in the theatre!

    Reply

  182. Sounds like an adorable movie! My daughter loves Dragons!! I would use the first two letters for the males in our family and the last to letters for the females so our dragon would be named:

    LOBRAHDWET – It means mighty and fierce but friendly!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  189. I would name my dragon:

    Bob… I know.. Not a crazy name, but if I had to yell for him/her because I was in danger, I don’t wanna yell “MORDORGANROG”

    That’s too long!

  191. I’d name my dragon BLAZE ..cause she’d set bad things & bad people ON FIRE !!!!!!!!with her atomic flaming breath…..

    Reply

  192. I would name my dragon “Second Star” as in “Second Star to the right and straight on till morning” from Peter Pan. It’s a line that just encapsulates adventure and freedom to me and I’d expect nothing less from a dragon. I’m really looking forward to the movie!

    Reply

  195. I asked my children what they would name a dragon. My oldest, age 5, said she would name her dragon Saint George. My son, age 3, said he would name his dragon Teddy Bear. My youngest, age 18 months, said she would name the dragon Up. I’m not sure what I would name my dragon. I would have to meet the dragon first.

  199. FYI: I’ve seen the trailer in theaters. It looks much more violent than the ads on TV. I would NOT recommend this movie for kids younger than 7.

  200. I would have to name my dragon, Tratalor, my son is looking forward to this movie too!
    Thank you,
    Leroy M.

  206. I would look up the latin name for dragon and then use that. Most people wouldn’t know what it was and they would think I made it up.

    Reply

  217. I’ve always sucked at naming animals. My husband always wanted to name a dog Stains. So you would have to say, “Come Stains.” Get it. What a perv.

  218. I also subscribe via email and have you in my feed reader via Bloglines as well as a link of my blog to your blog.

  219. newsletter! And I forgot to put the name in my first entry. Hmmm. Emerald – because it would HAVE to have green eyes!

    Reply

  222. I think I’d name mine Malagoli (a combo of the first couple letters of each child’s name). Not super creative but it’s all I’ve got! 😉

    Reply

  225. Hmmm……. so saying Firebreather isn’t very creative, now is it? And Fluffy wouldn’t be right?

    How about Fierno? Sounds kind of like fire, but isn’t.

    Reply

  226. My son says a dragon should be named Fire, and says that he would also let firemen use his dragon. 🙂

  229. Roo suggests Sunshine Star Heart Flower Sparkle Princess. Which is why she was not allowed to name her brother.

  232. After seeing one of the promo items at Wal-Mart, my son wants to name his dragon “Black Wing.” (No, not the most creative, but fitting for a 5-year-old. ~ grin)
