A long name also tells the reader that the creature is patient. Nobody gives a four-syllable name to something that lives forty years. Dragons rarely have family names. In myth and fiction they carry a title instead, given by the people who survived them: a deed (Bane of Three Kings), a habit (the Gold-Hoarder) or a look (the Iron-Scaled).
