Pretty sure it was "Igneel" instead of "Ignir".

<p>Some of the Dragon Slayers were trained by Dragons, while others gained Dragon Slayer Magic by means of Lacrima implants (as in the case of Laxus). For Lacrima implants, the Dragon Slayer Magic has to be extracted from a Dragon (that's my assumption). So how many Dragons in total, living or dead, exist in Fairy Tail? If possible please provide their names. </p>

13 dragons were named in the series (5 dragons that raised humans from the current time line, Acnologia and the 7 dragons that came through the Eclipse Gate). 400 years ago, there were thousands or maybe millions of dragons, but they got extinct.
