CompsognathusMember0 XPNov-11-2013 10:31 AMSo, everyone knows Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Velociraptor, Spinosaurus, etc. Don't get me wrong, they all have cool names. But which of the poorly known dinosaurs had the coolest names? Let's find out. 10. Brontomerus- Thunder Thigh Ok, so I chose this one more because I thought it was kind of funny. But funny can be cool. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Brontomerus.jpg/250px-Brontomerus.jpg[/img] 9. Tarascosaurus- Spanish Dragon Ok, don't tell me that a name that means Spanish Dragon isn't cool. [img]http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/3Rz8qPYu9PQ/hqdefault.jpg[/img] 8. Titanoceratops- Titan Horned Head Just about any name with titan in it will sound cool. [img]http://www.wikidino.com/wp-content/uploads/Titanoceratops-1.jpg[/img] 7. Dracorex- Dragon King When your name means the dragon king, you certainly deserve a spot on this list. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Dracorex_BW.jpg[/img] 6. Stygimoloch- Demon from the River of Hell Wow, pachycephalosaurs have cool names! [img]http://www.wikidino.com/wp-content/uploads/Stygimoloch-M.Shiraishi.jpg[/img] 5. Tyrannotitan- Tyrant Titan Tyrannotitan certainly lives up to it's name. At 40 ft long and 5+ tons, it was both a tyrant and a titan.

Ekrixinatosaurus- Explosion Born Lizard Sure, it's hard to pronounce, but it has a cool translation. [img]http://dinosaurs.afly.ru/ii/t/ekrixinatosaurus-1.jpg[/img] 3. Teratophoneus- Monstrous Murderer Ok, so it's "only" 20 ft long, but I still don't want to run into this monstrous murderer. [img]http://www.paleospot.com/illustrations/teratophoneus.jpg[/img] 2. Sauroposeidon- Earthquake God Lizard The earthquake god lizard! Now that's awesome. [img]http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DSC_hiatus.jpg[/img] 1. Lythronax- The Gore King of the South It's full name, Lythronax argestes, has got to be one of the coolest dinosaur names that anyone has ever come up with.

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 10:35:00I was sure. No, I was SURE Lythronax would be first. Nice list, by the way, all of them are really cool names.

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 10:40:00Yeah, there were a lot of names to choose from. Here's another I feel is worth mentioning... Pyroraptor- Fire Thief Come on? Is that cool or what? [img]http://spotlight.iridas.com/200407/pwc_01_big.jpg[/img]

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 10:43:00Cool indeed. I'd mention Balaur too. It has no meaning in Greek or Latin, but in romanian it means terrifying dragon. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/Balaur_bondoc.jpg[/img]

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 10:44:00Yeah, that's pretty good too.

DinoSteve93

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 10:58:00However not good enough to appear in this list.

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 11:16:00No, not quite ;)

Deltadromeus

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 11:24:00These are really cool names. Hmm, I just think that a name like Omegatyrannus is frikin awesome and it belongs to a 100 foot Tyrannosaur with huge 40 foot arms and shoots lasers out of its eyes. Oh, and flyes while spitting out nuclear explosions and crushing chuck Noris underfoot.

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 11:29:00Hmm, something tells me we won't find something quite like that anytime soon ;)

Deltadromeus

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 11:34:00No, but that's the dinosaur the name deserves.

DinoSteve93

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 11:36:00I'd love to see the face of the palentologist that would find that: O_O

Rex Fan 684

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 11:36:00That'd be hilarious!

DinoSteve93

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 11:44:00Hey, now I notice the Sauroposeidon pic. How cute it is: they're kissing! :P :)

Rex Fan 684

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 12:42:00Yeah, that's it ;)

DinoSteve93

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 12:53:00Haha, wonderful.

Rex Fan 684

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-11 22:02:00Sinornithosaurus ain't too bad. Happy to see you on the Jurassic World forums :)

DinoSteve93

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-12 07:42:00That's cool KaijuFall. Happy to se you here too. PS- also some of us dino lovers are Godzilla fans. I won't make a name. I WON"T make a name. I WON"T MAKE A NAME! Ok, DinoSteve93. ;)

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-12 17:26:00Diabloceratops is pretty awesome, if you ask me.

DinoSteve93

CompsognathusMember0 XP2013-11-17 04:31:00It means Devil horned head. That's pretty cool indeed.

Elite Raptor 007

CompsognathusMember7 XP2014-01-15 04:39:00

I Think you should put the Scansoriopteryx (Climbing Wing ), i'd think it's pretty cool names. and it's really cool because it,s actually looks like Epidendrosaurus ( Lizard in the tree )

Scansaoriopteryx

Epidendrosaurus

See !

AEROSTEON sounds cool

dracopelta, ANTETONITRUS (before the thunder) and animantarx (living fortress). also dracotitan, even though that's not a dinosaur. Dracotitan would be an awesome name!

Thunder Thigh has to be the best dinosaur name in history.

 

Also, Stygimolich's name is Demon from the River Styx, but you were close enough. :)
