Ideally, generation of the name list for the hybrid dragons could be fully automated. That way the only work will be to keep the general and primary name lists up-to-date. BFS makes additions and deletions to the names periodically. Unless the process is automated, whenever BFS changes the general list every dragon name list would require editing.

There would be an array for the general list and one for each primary element type. By using several array functions the required list could be generated upon retrieving the dragon elements. The Union, Unique and Sort functions should do the job.

Although one of the Community Central pages states that the Array extension is very popular on Wikia, it does not appear to be enabled on the Dragonvale wiki. There are two pages that explain about extensions and getting them enabled if that is desirable.
