Why do you use a "dragon name" different from your human one?

Draconity is an issue of identity, and being acknowledged as a dragon by others is important to that identity. A name is the most direct and obvious way of accomplishing this. If someone prefers to go by their dragon name, refusing to use it can be just as insulting as insisting on calling the pope "John."

This is not an issue of validation, however, nor is it an issue of rejecting humanity (see "Do you consider dragons superior to humans?" above). Many dragons see their dragon name as more fitting or more meaningful than their human name, which after all is rather arbitrary. For example, "Baxil" means "beloved" in a dragon tongue, and as such it is a powerful word for me. Also, a dragon name can be a strong reminder of someone''s commitment to their draconity, in the same way that a convert to Islam may take a new name (e.g. Cassius Clay / Muhammad Ali).
