Your names.
« on: June 20, 2011, 03:36:32 PM »
Well since I have finally decided on a name I thought I'd throw a poll up due to the diverse amount of names I have seen on this forum.
If you found it or referenced it where specifically did you find it I would love to hear.

Anyways I found mine in a couple of places. On some hack tools,one on a psp game save, and on a game case. I always thought the name sounded kinda cool.
I looked up the word and found out its german and depending on the context can mean mind,spirit or ghost. It has a whole bunch of other meanings too though.
Anyways can't wait to hear from others.

I got my name way back when me and my friend were playing Legend of Mana for playstation. I needed a name for my character and he suggested Macid, because it had the word mace in it. I am a fan of club weapons so I took it and have been using it as one of my aliases ever since.

My main fursona's name is my own name. The rest of my character names I used a website for baby names...I wanted the names to mean something and with the website I used you can search for a name with a particular meaning, so that's what I did for my characters.

Well WhiteTiger is pretty self explanitory given my fursona, but the 89 is my birth year; 1989. Almost all of my screen names have had numbers at the end, so now it's pretty much a tradition. :P

My name was originally referenced hehe :P

Feral comes from an hobby I used to have. Tho you could think that it's because Feral is... feral, rather than anthro. But nope, that's not the origin :P
The nickname 'Timmy' is my real life nickname as well and is based on my real name, not much to say about it...

Then the last name, Fox, is just basicly a reference to the fact that I'm a fox, nothing too special hehe.

I referenced my own name from a dream I had with a wild white wolf with dazzling blue eyes and in the dream felt this need to keep it safe. So I decided on White Wolf Guardian, in a way it's my creation though I don't like to take full credit. Also on google images, several of my commissions from artists are often the first things that show up, there's a youtube artist that goes by White Wolf Guardian I believe as well (not me), there's a "Wolgan Valley Resort" vacation place somewhere, and there's many "White Wolf" named characters that I learned about over the years. The reason I never changed my display name is partially for two reasons. If I changed "wolf" to "wolgon" it would be over the forum limit of 20 characters and I just like to keep it simple. Originally my fursona was just a white wolf.

I though of the name originally for my first Pokémon game (Leafgreen) and it sortof rolled off the tongue so I use it in most of my alliases. When I googled it I figured out a video game reviewer uses it :/ . There's also a guy who teaches meditation whom has it as a last name.

It's pretty original I guess.

I got my name by taking part of a character's name from a BBC show (Drake). And then when I adopted my foxaroo fursona somebody called me Kangadrake so Kangadrake I remained :3

I accidentally voted for "Referenced" because I thought my name was still (specter) (it used to be my name on this forum) -- I can never remember I changed it to Shakat for some reason. So can someone change my vote to the second option "Original" please?

Anyway, "shakat" is a portmanteau of cat and shark, because that's what my species it. :3

I wanted something that sounded original but still had some meaning to it. So I ended up spending like an hour going through different translators with different words that are similar to my fursona. I went through a lot of words in alot of languages until I finally translated icy to latin and got gelidus. I loved using the word icy to describe my fursona, but I wasn't insanely fond of the translation. But it was better than anything esle that came up. Finally I gave in and decided on Gelidus, and ever since I've made that decision I've only gotten happier about it.

A feeling of security, a feeling of happiness, a feeling of lust, a feeling of belonging.
A feeling we need.
We may think we can live life without it, but a life without it would be boring, meaningless, and depressing.
Love controls us. Without love, we are nothing. With it, nothing else in the world matters
Love is only a feeling.
A feeling that makes life worth living or dying
