Dear Stephanie:

Congratulations!

I am sure that this is a very exciting period for you and deciding on a name for the soon to be born is a lot of fun. Please, research the name wll before you decide especially if you are picking a name from a language wit which you are not very familiar.

You are correct. "Drakos" in Greek means "Dragon". In Greece it is found to be used as a last name and not as a first name. Many prominent Greek families carry proudly the last name Drakos. In modern Greek the name is also used to define a pedophile.

I hope this is of assistance.

Best wishes,

Constantine
