Smaug definitely has been used for a chess engine's name.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 7:09 pm If they are very keen on a dragon name, why not Wyvern or Smaug. I don't think either of those are used yet.

Re: Komodo 14.1 Release and Dragon Announcement
In Dutch it's the komodovaraan (varaan indeeds seems to be monitor lizard in English). My first exposure to the komodovaraan:Madeleine Birchfield wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 6:45 pmOnly in English and Romance languages do they call the animal a Komodo dragon. In most other languages, it is known as the Komodo monitor lizard, which is more accurate as the Komodo dragon is a type of monitor lizard, rather than a dragon.
"The nasty monitor lizard"

Re: Komodo 14.1 Release and Dragon Announcement
I really don't care that much, but if you are aware of namesake today one imho should respect the authors Yuri Shpeer and Bruno Lucas who played official tournaments with their Dragons. The most prominent namesake victim was Gerardo Castaño Recio. All of his three engines, Zeus, Toledo and Caligula were later used by other programmers namesake.lkaufman wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 8:19 pm Chess.com CEO thinks it's important to have the Dragon name first, so that people will call it that, so for rating lists and such we suggest listing it as Dragon (Komodo). But of course some may call it Komodo Dragon, just as people's names can be first or last name first.
What about MacHack Komodo or Rex Komodo

What about DRACO ?
Latin for dragon.
And I would have another wish: could you dedicate it to don dailey ?!
I miss him much, he was such a positive and friendly guy. Always with a smile .
Never heard a negative word . Open for anything new,

I seem to remember a draco engine written in assembly by an italian guy, but maybe I have it wrong.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
