What's it's name?

I've got a magic window!
My flowers will be opening any day now for my VFT’s that I want to try to cross.
When cross-pollinating of plants, such as 2 VFT’s, how do you know what to call them?
Such as I have a VFT Dentate Traps and a Red Dragon and want to cross them. Does the name of the plant the seeds come from, come first? Such as seed from the Red Dragon would be Red Dragon x Dentate Traps and the seeds from the Dentate Traps be called Dentate Traps x Red Dragon?
 
I was thinking Dragon breath X root canal, but maybe Pinguiculaman ought to come with correct nomenclature.

Yuppers, that's correct- the 'mother' plant is listed first.
