How did you come up with your Fursona's name?
« on: July 06, 2010, 11:01:06 PM »
I took my name (Alex) and my species (Fox) and an anagram later and an extra letter (i) i came up with Felix the fox

A little boring of a name, but I thought it was clever at the time, so it stuck  :P

Fenrir is a prominent figure in Norse mythology.  Sure he's a murderous monster, but he's cool.

I wrote a story way back in the eighth grade, and the main character was an anthro wolf named Kayle.  This was long before I discovered the fandom, and when I found it, the name had kinda stayed with me.  I thought it was appropriate, seeing as it came straight outta my first furry story, and I like the name.  So I use it.

I got my name from the Turkish word for shadow. took me awhile to find a good name with a meaning that I liked but it was a great success!

Oh! Golge! My old name ment "defender of mankind" but it kinda went against my charater.

I asked someone, and they said Mina. Before I found the fandom, I had a anthro character named Lexie... I like Mina better. :P

As for ShadoWolf800, it was first darkwolf8000, but on this site, it wouldn't accept all of the 8000, and on another, I wanted something cooler sounding, so I chose ShadoWolf.

Well, Flames has been a name for several (both antho and non-anthro) characters of mine when I was younger and it was a name I liked as it linked in with the fiery nature of my characters (plus it rhymed with my real name XD)
Then when I made my fursona, HoKaze no Flames, I kept the name of Flames but wanted something that sounded warrior-like and a little exotic. I decided upon "Flames of FireWind" and then took this and took "Ho" and "Kaze" (fire and wind respectively) from Japanese along with the "of" usage of "no" in Japanese and boom, HoKaze no Flames. It's probably massively incorrect in Japanese but having it true to the language was never part of the plan, I wanted something that sounded good to me, was unique and fit the character ^^;
The farewell was premature. My definite stay is not definite. The constants are variable. The greeting was too late.

In 6th grade, I wanted to learn Norwegian and needed my new fursona's name and a new username to go by online. I went over to an English-to-Norwegian translator

A book I was reading at the time used the word "zephyr" for "breeze" and I liked the sound of it.

Well my out look on life and things are not always "normal" and I was always told I was insane. I simply answerd I'm not insane I'm perfectly self-sane meaning that I'm perfectly sane for my own mind and that every one else is just crazy. And I just changed the spelling of it, and it became my name.  :P
