It would be impossible to list them all here. Commonly cited are the pterosaurs such as the following:

Pteranodon

Pterodactyl

Petinosaurus

Quetzalcoatlus

Rhamporphydon

Archaeopteryx

Avisaurus

Piksi

Confiucionornis

Haopterus

Microraptor

Rahonavis

The Pterosaur

Rhamphorhynchus

pteranodon and quetzalcoatlus can fly

But these technically were not dinosaurs.

However, paleontologists not classify birds as dinosaurs. There are 10,000 known species of bird alive today and even more that are extinct. It would be impossible to list them here.

All Dinosaur names are Greek. To list all the Dinosaurs names would probably take days, so here are some well known Dinosaur's names:

Tyrannosaurus Rex- Tyrant Lizard King

Triceratops- Three Horned Face

Apatosaurus- Arm Lizard

Velociraptor- Swift Robber

Stegosaurus- Roof Lizard

Deinonichus- Terrible Claw

Dinosaur- Terrible Lizard (Dinosaurs weren't actually lizards, but they looked like lizards to the people who discovered their fossils)
