If the baby dragon parents are around, call it what every it wants to be
called. :)
Just kidding
I take it that you are looking for dragon names. I am not sure but you
may want to look in the Dragon source book (Draconian)sp?

I call them hatchlings or dragonets.

And if they're female, then they can be dragonettes. :p

Actually it's improper to call them dragonets because there's
a group of monsters called dragonets, if I remember correctly,
which includes Faerie dragons, Firedrakes, etc.

Actually, the 'proper' term would probably be hatchlings, just like birds
and other egg-laying young. I know that certain egg-hatched creatures have
specific names, like chicken young being called "chicks", but hatchling is
the blanket term for ALL creatures which hatch from and egg which is
gestated outside of the animal (ie. birds, lizards, turtles, etc...).

Wait a minute. Monstrous Manual, pp 89-91 lists a thing
known as a "dragonet" as a separate monster - a
pseudodragon. Is someone saying these are actually
young dragons?

Used correctly, "dragonets" is the term for a hatchling dragon. Used as
TSR uses it, it's the name for a pseudrodragon. Personally, I call them
both dragonets. After all, it's not likely that a PC will be able to tell
the difference between a hatchling dragon and a pseudodragon. Just
imagine the PC's trying to get their pet pseudodragon to use it's "breath
weapon"...

Ok, Ok, fine. Don't call them dragonets.
When asked the question, I simply said "I call them..." And I do. Yes,
small dragon breeds are called dragonets. I don't usually refer to them
that way, but that's just me.
ANd no, the MM dragonets are not specifically young dragons of other
kinds. They live out their whole lives as dragonets. Sorry for the
confusion.
Another source for what to call baby dragons might be to see if baby
reptiles of any species are called anything other than babies or
hatchlings. I won't do the research, or at least won't post it here, so
I don't confuse anyone.
Sheesh.

Heh. That name'll probably be taken too. It's a hopeless battle. We're
calling them Drag-lings now, but someone will probably invent a monster for
that name too.

There are Twelve age levels depicted in the MM. So a Baby would become a
hatchling. But I think you are after the title that is depicted by other
dragons as Kitten is to Cat etc.
Oh Well..... If I ever meet one I'll ask it. For now I'll just call it a Baby
Dragon cause they don't exist they can't hurt me!

And that's ok. You're ok, I'm ok, We're all OK!!!! I just wanted
to know if I was missing something.

Please don't let me stop you. I don't have the appropriate
reference books, but I, too, would be interested in the results.
Just don't confuse me; I only have three or four fully functioning

How about "Bernie"?

Seriously. Baby dragons, just like the young of all egg-laying creatures,
would be known as "Hatchlings". I know that some animals, like chickens,
have other names for their young as well ("chicks" in the case of
chickens), "Hatchling" is the b;anket term for the young of ALL egg-laying
animals.
