The references BFS creative folks use are scattered throughout the whole Dragonvale universe - dragons, decorations, descriptions. There doesn't have to be a reason other than its fun for BFS creative types to think them up and for us to catch them. There was no reason for naming the decoration Ami'Lya Pond except that it was a fun reference to a Dr. Who character. This time they linked the dragon's name with the choice of breeding pairs referring to the Marvel fantasy universe. Hail Hydra is a greeting used by the bad guys collectively known as Hydra who go up against good guys known as the agents of "Shield". It happens to coincide with a new Marvel movie and the season ender for the TV show which makes it a timely reference, but it still would fit even without those two upcoming shows.
