A simple question, what does your username mean and/or why is it your username?
My username, Keinai, is a nickname my friends gave me. We all came up with nicknames that had to contain at least two letters of our first name and at least two letters that weren't in our name. 'I, A, N' is in my real name, however 'K' and 'E' are not. It is also the name of my first roleplay character in my first roleplay with one of my closest friends to date.
It is my username because it's a very special name to me, even more than my fursona's. (might as well change my fursona's name to it) Plus it sounds cooler. :P
-
My username is a Misfits song reference. The song itself is called "We are 138." It's not the greatest song in the world, but it's what got me into the band. Now I'm a big fan, and I know a lot of the lyrics to their songs haha.
"138" isn't much of a name, but it has meaning to me.
-
It's just a name. Granted, it is a name that I think sounds pretty and has just the right amount of pretension. It seems to fit.
Really people can just call me Halei and it works just as well...
-
I'm obsessed with animated disney films, my favorite pokemon is a mud kip & my graduating class was 15 (2015)
-
I drew my bear avatar, wrote bear under it...thought about how the colors reminded me of candy, wrote it down too. Candy Bear :)
-
Just made my name up to be honest and i love the name. Zaida, it's also pronounced Za-Duh the I is silence.
Also Gaia was my old one, which I made a mistake for issuing since i have to login with it. GAIA was just a random character until I thought I was done with Zaida...

The world's spinning madly, it drifts in the dark
Swings through a hollow of haze
A race around the stars
A journey through the universe ablaze with changes.
-
It's my fursona's name. Nothing else just her name.
-
i'm bold. using my name. yep. my name.
-
i'm bold. using my name. yep. my name.
Oh, but I'm sure someone will use it to stalk you or steal your personal information. At least, that's how the internet might make people think. I'm sure I could open a first name's thread and see who might post.
-
To be frank Hallow, if they want to be me they can be. I could use some one to pay my debts.
-

You should totally make that thread, Hollow.
-
I give away my first name but honestly, I live in such a small area that if someone was stalking me, I would know almost right away.

You make it, I'll be sure to post, provided it gets off the ground well enough and isn't just you and I. And no, I wouldn't be one to go back on my word.

Well I used to be MidnightWolf999, then it changed to Wolfie by a dear friend of mine and someone thought it would be good to call me Wolfles, Like waffles but wolf :P
-
Spurius is a Roman first name (i can't remember the proper terms off the top of my head) I like the sound of and have used it for many characters in games and Dexter was also in the list of Roman surnames, but I chose it at the time because I was obsessed with the Dexter tv series. So when it came to naming my fursona I stuck with Spurius Dexter mostly because I couldn't think of anything else and I used some Roman infulances for his design so I though it fit quite well 😊
-
The wheel in my brain was spinning extra fast that day and the gnomes couldn't keep up causing devastating chain reaction making me spit out a random word
-
It's borrowed from a character in the anime Wolf's rain, since I was mildly obsessed with that a few years ago.
Sometimes I use the variation "Chezana", which is just Cheza + the last two letters from my real name added. Yay, originality!
-
Oh my god I was obsessed with Wolf's Rain when I was 12-13.
-
It's the only anime that I would be interested in watching. :S
-
I don't really care for anime but I love Studio Ghibli.
Anyway, I guess another meaning for my name would be it sounds better than Faolin, and it's now my fursona's username. :)
-
I DUNN0 WHAT D0 Y0U THINK IT MEANS?
-
OMG ITS A AKRINIM
GIGANTIC
ENORMOUS
OUTRAGEOUS
RADICAL
GREEN
ERMINE

I like the color red and the number 2. :^)//
-
The name Biowolf is a reference to the game "BIOSHOCK". My favorite game ever! So when it was popular and I had trouble creating a user name, My brother suggested pairing it with my favorite animal. A grey wolf. Simple yet satisfying.
-
I came up with my name on day, when I sat down to think of a better username, to different stuff, than my previous (Mbholmgren11 - my first name is Marcus, my middle name is Bonde and my last name is Holmgren... and then 11)
I liked the raptor part in Egoraptors name, so I took that and modified it (a lot)
It doesn't really mean anything, though :P
-
Silentium and potens are latin for silence and powerful/potent, respectively. I chose these words because I'm usually a quiet person. I chose latin because it just sounds better.
-
Basically, Evna comes from "evne", meaning "ability", which I often paired with other words to make usernames in MMOs back when I was trying (and failing) to learn Norwegian.
The "evna" spelling came later when I converted the word to a fictional language I was developing, but according to Google Translate, "evna" already means "their ability", but I dunno if I should trust that. But it still works if it's true. :P
The "mishko" comes from the word "mishkoswIn", which means "strength" in the Potawatomi language.
My school was built in honor of a Potawatomi historical figure, and after seeing the word on a poster, I decided to adopt it as the name of a character in a fantasy story I was working on at the time, whose culture was inspired by Native American cultures.
I decided to use the name for myself as well, add on the "Evna-", and we get Evnamishko. It has the rough meaning of "ability and strength," and is a self-encouraging name. Plus I like the sound of it.
-
Not so interesting :P
Anonymous NAME TAKEN
Anony NAME TAKEN
Anoni SUCCESS
While that may be the true story a different story has arisen as well, which is more interesting. I have two fursona's, a fox and a tiger, both of which are called Anoni. This is because these fursonas are not separate characters, with their own backstory or what-not, they are simply abstract representations of myself within this community. Because they are based on me and not on them, they themselves have no singular identity, they are simply a shadow of my own identity and thus they are, anonymous.
-
Vinnie is a nickname from Vinnessa, which is part of one of my sona's names. The full name is Vinnessa Van Gogh, since she's a turtle and I'm a TMNT nerd and wanted her to have an artist name just like they do. >.>
-
I like antiques and drove a 1952 Chevrolet in high school. Ive been told I have an old soul, so old kid was born. 1940 is a homage to my grandfather, his birth date, to whom I was very close and miss very much.
-
UPDATE:
I'm not very good at coming up with names, so I decided to find the latin word for wolf, which is Lupus. I searched through the members, and I realized, a couple of them were already named Lupus, so I came up with an idea: I took the danish word for wolf, "ulv", and merged it together with lupus, creating Ulvus. Lumia, however, is just the latin word for lime, and I chose it, because Ulvus has lime-green fur some places, as well as eyes, tongue and nose X3
-
My username are anvifox :) it is something i have taken from my Fursonas Supercomputer that she is in change of, its called AnviOS, and that is an acronym for,

My username is welsh for "Rose's Fox". My soulmate and I came up with it, since she is the rose to my fox. ^^
-
All these people with fancy names and different languages and I'm just sitting here making up random words lol XD
-
Well, it's still pretty cool ^_^
I wish, I could come up with cool-sounding random words.
-
"Oathsworn" is a name I came up with for a long-lasting (non-furry) RP with a few friends of mine. My Character, Rowan Oathsworn, was a bodyguard for hire and was known for never having broken an oath or come back on a promise. The name stuck and I use it often nowadays. And the 18 stands for my age at the time of the RP, just to keep it simple.
My previous Furry Forums username was "Colioli4", which was just a random garble of my name Colin and a few random letters and numbers. XD

That's actually a pretty cool name, and a great backstory :)
-
Thanks, although your name fits your Fursona more :)
-
Maybe, but your name sounds like... Some old northern legend... The great Oathsworn, that slew the three-headed dragon X3
-
Yeah, I recently found out that the German tribes that lived in France at the time of the Romans had their best warriors make Oaths of Protection to their people, hence they too were called "Oathsworn". Hell I never knew that beforehand, but the name makes it a tad cooler... ^_^
-
Cooler than it already is, of course X3
-
Yeah... :3
But I don't think it fits my Fursona very well... So I will have to look into that in due course.
-
Mine's simple enough. I am powerful enolugh to desolate.
-
But I don't think it fits my Fursona very well... So I will have to look into that in due course.
Why, does he not keep oaths? X3
-
My username was originally my name, Kromas Ndorai, but I changed it to Exile because its what I've been labelled as elsewhere. Instead of fighting it, I embraced it, so now I am known as "The Exile" in a few places. Either that, or the "Wandering Exile".
Also a certain webcomic >_>
-
That takes courage.
-
Yeah, that's pretty cool :)
-
Takes courage indeed...
And to answer Ulvus Lumia's question: well, he tries, but is not entirely succesful in doing so. He's just a Furry after all.

Ooh I've been waiting for a thread like this B) My fursona's name is Finnegan, and being a classic literature nerd, I made a connection with the novel by James Joyce from 1939 called 'Finnegan's Wake', which is one of the most difficult-to-understand English novels of all time due to its extremely confusing wording, and lack of start or finish. The main characters of the novel are actually still being debated to this day! I thought that would make for a pretty interesting story of a username, and also establishes some of my interests right off the bat :D

Oldkid1940... I'll start with old kid.
I love antiques of all kinds, and because of how I act sometimes, I've been told I am an old soul born in the wrong era. Thus, Oldkid was born.
As for 1940, well that ones a little less happy. My grandpa was born in 1940, and had a 1940 Chevrolet that I was in love with when I was young. He died, and I became suicidal. Though I've gotten over the "I want to die" part, I haven't been the same since. I got left that old Chevrolet, so I added 1940 as a sort of homage to him.
And that's my username :)
-
Awwwwh That is pretty swell oldkid :) i am sorry about your grandpa :) *Hugs*

((Breaking the forum rules by doing this but i think i will be fine :O))
*Hugs you close* No problem buddy :P
-
I am hatred.
-
Pretty simple, name of my fursona, who was named after a character I played in a game a while ago, I always thought the name was cool and prefer it over my real name so yeah username^^
-
Robert is my real first name, and it is fitting as it means 'Bright Noble' and has been the name of many kings in history, most notably Robert the Bruce, who freed Scottland from England's rule. Silvermyst is a combination of silver, my favorite color and metal, and Myst, one of my favorite point-and-click adventure series on the PC.
-
Armonia Rayne Mist. Sounds fanatical right? Well sorta. Armonia is no where close to my real name. She is named after Harmony, which in Italian is, well, Armonia. This name was a complete accident and honestly was supposed to be the name of a country in a story that never happened because I took up drawing instead. /cringes at flashbacks of art from two years ago/
-
Oh, neat! Well I find that interesting.
-
Oanta is from the random generator in world of warcraft. I rolled a Tauren Druid (early signs of furry anyone? XP) and needed a name so I clicked a button until I liked the name. Now I use it for everything and since Oanta is very unique, the only times that I can't use it are when I already have a character or account. I even use it for YouTube when I am playing with Multiplayer Oreo so I really have adopted it as my own.
-
My stupid old deviantart url used to be "warriorcatroseeyes"
I made an acronym out of it (wcre), then stretched it out to Wakor.
I've been using it for 5+ years!
-
Krowdon is a name I chose for a RP character in fifth grade, and I first used it online in 2009!
It doesn't really have any meaning to it, It was supposed to sound kind of fierce, my character is a warlord after all. Of course, I'm not sure it's fierce sounding but fifth grade me sure thought it was.
-
It's simply the name i use for my characters in almost every RPG i play
-
That's pretty cool.
Maybe I could explain my other fursonas too…
-
Mine I little ghosty because it was my old club penguin username and I decided to make it my fersona name
-
I keep changing my username, so I'm gonna go around again. >.>
Honey Bun is the name of my official main sona that I FINALLY decided on. It's a play on honey bunny, of course. :P
-
Andrew is my name, and I like my name.
As for the username I log onto here by, it came from an old Homestuck troll I made once. It was his pesterchum.
