Dear Stephanie:
Congratulations!
I am sure that this is a very exciting period for you and deciding on a name for the soon to be born is a lot of fun. Please, research the name wll before you decide especially if you are picking a name from a language wit which you are not very familiar.
You are correct. "Drakos" in Greek means "Dragon". In Greece it is found to be used as a last name and not as a first name. Many prominent Greek families carry proudly the last name Drakos. In modern Greek the name is also used to define a pedophile.
I hope this is of assistance.
Best wishes,
Constantine
