Blue Dragon / Azure Dragon
青龍 is a scholarly title for “Blue Dragon” or “Azure Dragon.”
You'll find this title used in ancient Chinese literature and astronomy. This dragon has dominion over the eastern sky or eastern heavens. The Azure Dragon is also noted for representing the spring season. Also seen as an auspicious omen.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty canonized the five colored dragons as “kings.” The Azure Dragon represents the most compassionate of kings.
In Japanese, this title is known with the same meaning but can also be a given name, Seiryuu or Seiryu.
Note, the first character can be written as 
OR 
. Same character, just two ways to write it.
Water Dragon / Coiled Dragon
蟠龍 is sometimes seen as a lower-level of dragon or a dragon that has not-yet-reached its potential.
蟠龍 is often defined as a “lake dragon” that has not ascended to heaven.
Another way to put that is a dragon coiled on the earth, which has not yet ascended to the sky.
Celestial Dragon / Tian Long
天龍 can mean Heavenly Dragon (Dragon of Heaven), Sky Dragon, Holy Dragon, Celestial Dragon, or Divine Dragon.
This can be a given name in both China and Japan (天龍 is pronounced Tenryū and sometimes written 天竜 in Japanese).
In an older Buddhist context, this can refer to Brahma, Indra, and the devas, together with the nāgas. It can also refer to celestials and snake spirits.
