Questions:

That is Omega, no?
Do the other Shadow Dragons have names like these?
If so, what are they?

Omega is Yi Xing Long.

Yes, Yi Xing Long just means 1 star dragon in chinese and the same applies to all of the other. Si Xing Long means 4 stars dragon and so on.

They are all shadow dragons with a chinese name. They all have an english name like Omega, Nuova or Eis.

Edit: Nevermind.

I bet I have some faults in the creation of this thread since I am the one who use the original names for The Shadow Dragons and not the dub ones.

I believe the dragon is something that belongs to the chinese mythologie. I'm not sure though. Also, DB/Z was inspired by chinese mythologie like Sun Wukong the monkey boy or King Enma. It's normal they take chinese names to name their original dragons.

The same reason that Anglo speaking countries often use lexis from Romantic Languages such as French, Spanish or Latin. For effect. Anglo speaking countries are not limited to English so it's not like Japan is just limited to Japanese.
