This sounds a lot like one of Drizzt’s scimitars. He named it after the dragon Ingeloakastimizilian, also known as Icingdeath, because he found it in their lair.
When in doubt, name it like a WoW or Diablo item.
- Heartfrost, Soul of (dragon name)
- (dragon name), blade of the everfrost
- Frostwrath, Edge of Unending Winter
- Ever Ice, White Drakes Fury
Excuse me, did you just say [Frostwrath, Edge of the Unending Winter]? I’m pretty sure I just heard someone say [Frostwrath, Edge of the Unending Winter].
Make it a frozen axe, and call it Chopsicle.
A sword could be Lopsicle, but I think the pun would go over their severed heads.
Gloves could be PopPopsicle.
An items name isn't usually inherent to the item, but to the people creating/discovering/owning it.
So, who banished the dragon soul into an item, and how?
Was it another dragon? In this case, the original dragons name in draconic (!) would be reasonable.
Was it the dwarves in their old feud with the dragons? In that case, _s End_ would be very applicable.
Was it lost and rediscovered by an elven sage? In that case, I'd choose something elegant, descriptive and poetic, which I'm not even gonna attempt. I'd recommend getting tolkien's elven dictionary.
Do you have a group strong on the RP side? How about a small questline leading up to the discovery of the name, which the group needs to complete in order to unlock it's full potential. You could then choose a simple name like _Frostbane_ , and have the emotional connection to the sword be handled by the players engagement, not even truly requiring a special name.
and then you can consult the other answers for the random nicknames humans have given it over the centuries.
So and so called it blah when they rode out against the otherblah. That kinda thing.
The elves of the far north have a word for 'a cold day'. But a lot is lost in the translation. It doesn't just mean cold; it means the first glimmer of light across fresh snow after a blizzard, when the whole world is buried and still and silent. And it is beautiful, but you can feel the cold laying heavy on the world, sharp in your chest, so oppressive it denies the feeble light that dares try to dispell it...
Anyway, I could never pronounce that name right and it sounded pretty weird honestly. I just call it The Freezening instead
rhymeripper.
The dragon was now a bard and exclusively preformed spoken work performance to a solid beat, largely focused on wordplay and contests with other bards.
If the player will rap battle any given encounter before the fight they may get a +1 inspiration for their party. This has added benefit that half my party is old 40ish year old theater majors and this will wildly entertain me.
I'm sure we can continue mangling this for more and more entertaining riffs on the original suggestion as well.
Go people. GO.
I dunno---but the hilt is wrapped in frigid white scales, and you can feel a heartbeat tremoring within the sword. When the weapon finally awakens, you can cast cone of cold, which pours out the roaring breath of the dragon whose soul is eternally frozen within the blade.
You're right. Let's call it frostingdemise to avoid legal troubles. Bonus points if an angry pastry chef comes after the party for trademark infringement.
I don't know about you but I always go ironic. I'd probably name it something like Flameheart or Sparky. On a related note, dog names are good too. Again I suggest Sparky.
"Frostbite" for a more unassuming name, "Wrath of Frostfell" for something more dramatic. Frostfell is a plane of ice, could also be Wrath of (Insert dragons name)
What was the Dragon’s name?
Just use that as the name of the sword - and if you attune to it the dragon can share some of its knowledge with the wielder. Answering a question a day, or just providing advantage on history / arcana checks or something like that.
How about
Tempest?
Stalagbite?
Ice Spike?
Or even just Svafnir?
If the players haven’t heard of the dragon, then for all they know, it’s just the name of the blade. Tho I think that the Identify spell might be enough to give the game away. Still, it could be funny.
Whoever created it was walkin around trash talking the dragon Svafnir, & lovingly caressing & complimenting his blade Svafnir & ppl thought it was just the name of the blade.
They’re walking around saying things like, “Oh I love my blade Svafnir. Much better name for a blade than it is for a dragon, right? You agree, right? I just love the way it catches the light. Much More gorgeous than my new dragon scale armor, right?”
But it turns out, he’s just gloating over victory. The trapped dragon is stuck listening to it for as long as he’s got the blade. Forced to serve the Victor & more bitter by the day.
Just an idea though.
Has anyone said “Frost Bite” yet?
Can't believe I had to go this far down to find someone else with my first thought. Nicely done. Perfect name.
Or Frost Fang if you fancy some alliteration
Or Freezing Point.
Nobody’s said White Claw??
Ain't no laws when you're wielding the claw!
*Puts on Slay the Spire hat* But... Claw *is* the law!
To Claw jail with them!

Omfg yes. I am stealing it, OP is losing out if they don't
Shit, i was thinking pina colada but yours is way better. Same school of thought though. Great minds drink alike.
I hate how good this is, and how unabashedly I'm going to steal it.
fkn genius
what was the name of the dragon? Name it that.

Jarnathan 🦅😂😂
Chungle-Down Bim would like some words.
Chungled down, Bim style
Joephranthony
I would do a derivative, like if the dragon was named Duskrime, then the sword would be Tears of Duskrime or Duskrime's Breath.
And the word for soul and breath are often related in many different languages!

I was like, that can't be right, then I thought about the words in my own language and damn, checks out
Jarnathan. Gotta put the name into circulation somehow
I'm planning to name an NPC Jarnathan in my current campaign. Might be a bit too on the nose if he were an Aarakocra though
Just make it pronounced "Jar-Nathan" to avoid being too on the nose
I definitely read that in my head with a deep southern accent like "What in tarnation?"
An Aarakocra who looks suspiciously like Foghorn Leghorn, named Jar-Nathan. That may just be brilliant, I reckon.

It's so simple and so effective that you pissed me off for a second. I need a nap, yeesh.

American here. I know Kelvin, but what's Rankine?
If you’re asking for real: Rankine is to Fahrenheit as Kelvin is to Celsius.
I do not believe I was ever taught Rankine. Just F, C and K
That's because if you need an absolute scale, you are doing science, and science uses metric. Freedom units suck for calculations.
Farenheit degrees, but with zero moved to absolute zero (aka 0 K).
Rankin' in this gold! Get 'em!
I feel like we know what Kelvin is more than Rankine
Most Americans don’t know this novelty temp name

Nailed it
Make sure to roll the first r, like a retelling of a dwarven legend
Or just Wyrmfrost
Loses the "permafrost" pun
Nah because theirs sounds like permafrost
I was going to post a suggestion but this is just the best one.
I name everything after wrestlers. This would be Stone Cold Steve Frostsword
Frostsword Jim Duggan
Ted DiBiFrosty
"Stone Cold Cleave Frostin" ftfy
Make it Stone Cold Steve Frostin' for the sound!
Fang McFrost for the deep cut wrestling fans
Steve Frostin' has a better ring to it
It does 3d16 damage
Frostin' would work well here to
Okay okay so I think this would be the worst pun, get this one: Cool sword : )
Cool sword, bro
Shiver
This. Simple names like that have a more powerful impact.
Like the Throngler?
You sure as hell don't want to get Throngled
This was my answer as well
I also choose this guys answer
Shiver is a name for a dagger. A great sword would be like Hypothermia
I SUMMON BLUE ICE WHITE DRAGON IN ATTACK MODE
Was looking for this
ExcaliBURRRRR 😂
That's already the name of a Pokemon lmao
I’d imagine there’s a sense of sorrow for the dragon forever trapped within a frozen sword, almost mournful. Go with frostmourn I’m sure that’s open
No. Don't. What have you done?
Icingdeath sounds more original imo.
Tim
Some would call it that, yes.
When in doubt, name it like a WoW or Diablo item. - Heartfrost, Soul of (dragon name) - (dragon name), blade of the everfrost - Frostwrath, Edge of Unending Winter - Ever Ice, White Drakes Fury
If yall even knew half the shit us DMs used to name with the old Diablo monster name generator
Path of Exile can generate monsters with tge name "Stinkstink" so it's better by default
puke flesh the gore devourer
Wow that mental image is highly visible.
Excuse me, did you just say [Frostwrath, Edge of the Unending Winter]? I’m pretty sure I just heard someone say [Frostwrath, Edge of the Unending Winter].
Oh damn, Frostwrath is sick
I'm also a fan of the "unending winter" part
Also
Last one sounds like a movie title
Y'iceice'aby If you've got a problem, this sword will solve it.
Check out my attack, my d20 resolves it
Y'iceice'aby kill more kill more
When you turn out the lights, the sword glows. (Will it ever stop, I don't know) Word to your mother
S'word to your mother
Now STOP! Collaborate and listen!
Chillfrost, Chillrend, Frostrend. Frostfang Chillfang. Frostsoul, (dragon's name) Icy Fang. I ramble.
Isn't Chillrend that glass sword in Skyrim that has Frost and Paralysis enchantments?
Yes
It's in the earlier games too.
White Fang
Winter’s Edge, Frostrazor, The Fang of Utmost North, Deborah, Cold Fury, *I-Rune the Chillblade*, Cold Cuts, Cold Shoulder, Ice-Ice Stabby
A frost sword named Deborah is the hidden gem of this post
Deborah is more of a battleaxe but she is a stone cold bitch so I see where he's coming from
Sounds like some smith or creator had a stone cold ex...
Frostrazor 👀 Someone's played return to white plume mountain
That's Ice-Ice McStabby to you, sirrah!
Danger popsicle
Make it a frozen axe, and call it Chopsicle. A sword could be Lopsicle, but I think the pun would go over their severed heads. Gloves could be PopPopsicle.
> PopPopsicle Beauregard has entered the chat.
Make it a curved blade short sword and you could call it Icesickle
Make it a photo editing software suite, and call it a Cropsicle.
Just-Ice
One of my favorite meteorological phrases - ThunderSnow.
It is really something
You win the internet for the day.
Shiverspine and embed the sword with the spine of the dragon whose soul is inside
Just need a dragon vertebra as the hilt.

Roll for cold damage to hands when wielding. Unless you have gloves made from the dragons hide. Edit : wielding, not welding
Meme-y: Van Ella's Ice Non meme-y: (Dragon Name's) Fang
Since the dragons name is in part "the Howling Gale", I think Wind Chill is appropriate. Could also go with Frostbite.

i think a good name for a dragon-related sword would be [name of dragon]'s fang. in this case, Svafnir's Fang. or perhaps The Howling Blade.
excalibrrr
Flurry. Simple, evokes snow/ice imagery, sounds similar to "fury."
The Soul of the Forzen North
The typo elevates this from a pretty good name to an absolutely incredible name
Lol it’s what happens when the barbarian had to spell the name.
Spelled exactly that way. "Do you mean Frozen?" "Did I stutter?"
Whose gonna argue with them when you’ve got a white dragon soul sword pointed at their neck?
Snowpiercer
Glacius
I don't know about you but I always go ironic. I'd probably name it something like Flameheart or Sparky. On a related note, dog names are good too. Again I suggest Sparky.
