Dreyken - means lord of dragons, from a Celtic children's story.
Ryu - Japanese so may be odd if you're not!
Ladon - dragon of Hera in Greek legend.

Or why not pick a fire name?
Mackay means son of fire.
Ayden is Celtic for little fire.

For a girl, Seraphine/Serefina is burning fire if you want an alternative to Kaida, but I love your choice! Edna/Ethne/Enya also mean fire in Celtic/Gaelic.

I'm due next month and we are thinking of going with Seraphina for a girl, because it comes from the Hebrew word seraphim - the highest angels of God who had six fiery wings. And dragons are fiery and have wings too! (In fact I gather there is even some bizarre ecclesiastical debate about whether the seraphim were angels at all, or actually some kind of serpents or dragons - perfect! Grin)

(I probably should add that there are other compelling reasons for us to consider this name, but we were secretly quite chuffed to discover the dragon connotations too!)

Ah, Ryu just has too much nostalgia for me (days spent playing street fighter)

Cymur is apparently the name of the Welsh Dragon...?

If I was going to choose a 'little dragon' name I'd go for Idris, the Welsh heraldic dragon from Ivor the Engine.

I don't like Draco or Drake, but of the two I think that Drake is slightly better (makes me think of Drake from Drake and Josh, but he was a nice enough character and the series is long over).

puffy if it is japanese Kaida is pronounced Ka-e-da (2.5 syllables, i.e. short e sound) almost like al-qaeda.
But it is still a nice name.
