Neo has started a book, needs names for characters

This may not exactly belong here...
But I believe it could ;)

I have started a book, It has not gotten very far...
It is about dragons, and I need some help.

There are four dragons as the lead characters
None have permenent names.
Because I need a name to fill in the name spots, I have been calling my main character who is a baby western dragon, pale white, and he is called Dar for the time being.

There is the second character, who I have not gotten to, unnamed as of yet (and I am severely close to getting to the part where she needs to reveal her name, so I think her name is most urgent at the moment!)
She is to be indigo, and is a large (from Dar's point for view) female Eastern dragon. She may have purple fur as her mane, but I have been describing it as blue, so most likely that will change to blueish indigo.

Umm. I also have two other characters that need names...

There is my own breed of dragon, that is my creation, I call it the sprite dragon. He is a less common breed and is rather tiny full grown.
He has small horns on his head, and pixie like wings (dragonfly ish)
And this character is strange, this breed can change colors randomly. I have not discovered why or when they change colors, but he is often red or black.

He needs a name

Ahh, and this character needs more than just a name. He is a very rare species, and I call it a ground hornback. He is one of the few in existance. He needs a way to fly.

I was originally going to let him ride on the large eastern's back, but that just seems rather
He will be a earthy color.

Now, I wanted him to not be able to fly, but odds are this will be an issue. I need him to be able to travel with the other dragons... but how?
I don't really like him being able to ride on the easterns back, but it seems the only way.

Any ideas would be fantastic! Thank you!

-loves dragons-
How have you imagined the rare ones anatomy to be? Slim and long? Compact and muscular?
If he's very small, the easterns could possibly have a small pouch for their young until they're ready to fly. The rare dragon could then use this pouch. Either that or take use of the long claws to hold onto the other dragons.

If you decide to give him wings:
You could also grant him leathery batwings for him or "fold out" like a flying squirrel to let him soar but not fly.

EDIT: Another possibility is to have the other dragons carry it in their mouth like crocodiles with their offspring.

I don't have any name suggestions I'm afraid :-(

Trivia tidbit- "Dar" was the name of the main character in the movie "The Beastmaster"

Could earthy boy possibly have line-of-sight teleportation powers? He could do a chain of teleports to travel greater distances, the chain requirement making it possible for him to travel with the other dragons and not simply outdistance them by teleporting directly to the destination.

Ohhh. Good ideas. Since the eastern i could give her a pouch.
I don't know if that would be copyright problems, I was just using the spanish word dar that means to give, and it is my favorite spanish word
