ok there "might" be a tenth name-giver race. in the horrors
sourcebook, the description of Verijigorm contains a creation myth,
according to the great dragons. this myth strongly imples that the
original great dragon was an offspring of the same creature that gave
birth to the horrors. or, to put it plainly, the first great dragon,
who created all other namegivers, was a Horror itself.
this next part is not canon, but it is true in my ED campaign. based
on the above you could infer that since the original great dragon had
the power to Name, some other horrors could have the power and
awareness to Name, thus, some Horrors could be considered namegivers
as well.
again, the first part is written from the point of a great dragon, so
take what you will of that, and the second part is my own speculation.
