I know Dragadon...
 
I never thought that i'll find a girl with that is called Dragadon as last name!
Well, there is a girl with this name at my school.
When we talk about people, we never mention the first name, we talk about the person with the surname (That's easier for us).

Anyway, i just heard the name Dragadon when the girls maunder. I certainly asked them what she looks like. Some classmates showed me the girl and i went to her.
I was too curious to talk in usual words (like hello, how are you)...i just asked her "How do you spell your name?"
She told me every letter of it. Suddenly it was Dragadon, exact the same name like our Drag of the forums!


I also searched in a names lexicon for "Dragadon", and found Dragod, Dragad and Dragadon!
Dragod and Dragad means "Silence" and "Peace" :D
Dragan was also there (name for boys) and means valuably. :D

Good grief, that's amazing! What a coincidence.

Hey, Drag. While we're on this topic, how do you pronounce it? In my head, I say "DRAG-uh-don." Do you pronounce it differently?

Sl'askia 12-21-2001 03:18 AM

thats close...more like 'Drag-a-dawn' (the 'a' as in 'a cat')

I pronouce it like it's spelled. "Drag-a-don" If I prounoce it, "Drag-a-dawn", it sound like I have a strange accent, and it doesn't sound right.

So is BD, and she pronouces it the same way as I do. We've been through that in MSN.

Could that be more wrong :P
That's really weird. Dragadon sounds like a draconic mob boss to me...Double check the girl for scales ;)

I pronounced like 'Drag-a-don' with the a = uh sound.
