So, everyone knows Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Velociraptor, Spinosaurus, etc. Don't get me wrong, they all have cool names. But which of the poorly known dinosaurs had the coolest names? Let's find out. 10. Brontomerus- Thunder Thigh Ok, so I chose this one more because I thought it was kind of funny. But funny can be cool.

Tarascosaurus- Spanish Dragon Ok, don't tell me that a name that means Spanish Dragon isn't cool. [img]http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/3Rz8qPYu9PQ/hqdefault.jpg[/img] 8. Titanoceratops- Titan Horned Head Just about any name with titan in it will sound cool. [img]http://www.wikidino.com/wp-content/uploads/Titanoceratops-1.jpg[/img] 7. Dracorex- Dragon King When your name means the dragon king, you certainly deserve a spot on this list. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Dracorex_BW.jpg[/img] 6. Stygimoloch- Demon from the River of Hell Wow, pachycephalosaurs have cool names! [img]http://www.wikidino.com/wp-content/uploads/Stygimoloch-M.Shiraishi.jpg[/img] 5. Tyrannotitan- Tyrant Titan Tyrannotitan certainly lives up to it's name. At 40 ft long and 5+ tons, it was both a tyrant and a titan.

Ekrixinatosaurus- Explosion Born Lizard Sure, it's hard to pronounce, but it has a cool translation. [img]http://dinosaurs.afly.ru/ii/t/ekrixinatosaurus-1.jpg[/img] 3. Teratophoneus- Monstrous Murderer Ok, so it's "only" 20 ft long, but I still don't want to run into this monstrous murderer. [img]http://www.paleospot.com/illustrations/teratophoneus.jpg[/img] 2. Sauroposeidon- Earthquake God Lizard The earthquake god lizard! Now that's awesome. [img]http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DSC_hiatus.jpg[/img] 1. Lythronax- The Gore King of the South It's full name, Lythronax argestes, has got to be one of the coolest dinosaur names that anyone has ever come up with.

I Think you should put the Scansoriopteryx (Climbing Wing ), i'd think it's pretty cool names. and it's really cool because it,s actually looks like Epidendrosaurus ( Lizard in the tree )

AEROSTEON sounds cool

dracopelta, ANTETONITRUS (before the thunder) and animantarx (living fortress). also dracotitan, even though that's not a dinosaur. Dracotitan would be an awesome name!

Thunder Thigh has to be the best dinosaur name in history.

 

Also, Stygimolich's name is Demon from the River Styx, but you were close enough. :)
