In my opinion, it quite simply isn't a human name at all. It is the Latin word for 'dragon' and as such was used to name a constellation which looked to the namer like the outline of part of a dragon. In the books, the Malfoy family's liking for astronomical names is a way of characterising them as extremely snobbish and full of their own importance. And of course dragons are not exactly role models either - solitary, vicious, man-eating and reptilian. If that is what you aspire to, go ahead, but at least give your child a mn which is less silly, so that he can use it later on if he wants to.

Or you could explore possibilities like Dragomir, which is pretty remote from most non-Slav people's naming habits but is at least both factual and terrestrial.
