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!

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?

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

meatball!
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!
My son said his dragon would be named Max.
jorge mcfly. paying a lil homage to the 80’s

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.

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.

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.
