Your names.

[Pea]

I dunno where to categorize my name. It sort of stuck after people called me this for short.

[Jace]

My forum name comes from Magic the Gathering

My Fursona name was originally a login name for MMORPGs and it wound up sticking as something I would be called.

Most of my names are referenced, a word or name from another language, using either translation sites or babynames.

Nevan's a name meaning 'Little Saint' as he's one of my 'good' characters, wholesome and innocent, and I guess I wanted something of celtic origins due to the nature of his world.  Morgan's just a fitting last name that goes well with Nevan by sound, I didn't look it up.  I also sometimes just use 'Nevan Fox', which is the obvious.

Before Nevan was Akisame, which means 'Autumn Rain'. It's a word, but is sometimes used as a name, usually by girls.  I wanted to give him a more feminine name, but still one that sounded cool.  He's a kitsune, and I tried to create a fitting personality for him.  Always attempting to be effeminate and proper, but with undertones of barely restrained mischief, though describing himself as 'benevolent'.

I had a character named Zarek for awhile, I just found it on babynames and didn't realize how close it was to Sarek from Star Trek, or used in Battlestar Galactica or Marvel Comics.  You could say he was a prototype for Nevan, actually.  They're both inventor types with the tiniest bit of magic helping them out.

My first furry character had two names, as he was an alien staying on earth.  His 'alien' name was completely original, and I was working on a complete language for his world.  His earth name was Japanese, and was an approximate translation of my full name into Japanese.

Edit:  I forgot Odyssey.  Odyssey is a Grey Fox, quirky, with a time/space/dimension travelling ship called the Doohickey. (kinda Dr. Who-ish, though not like from an alien race of people with such technology, and I generally take his adventures very light-heartedly).  He got his name when I was reading about 'The Fool' Major Arcana Tarot card, and the concept of 'The Fool's Journey'.  I haven't done much with this character, but I like to play him as a bouncy explorer who likes to take chances - probably more Ms. Frizzle than Dr. Who.

[Alexei]

I've always loved Russian names, anytime a video game asks for a character name I would call them Alexei so I'd been using it a lot before I made my fursona.
His last name which I don't mention very often is Álvares, My grandparents were portuguese and that was my grandmother's maiden name so I thought it kinda fit.

Alexei Álvares

[Zaspher]

Oooh that's a fun name to say. Would make a great celebrity name, well I think

[Alexei]

If I ever become famous then I'm officially changing my name.

[Tek]

I enjoy Technology studies, so my fursona name came from that hobby.
'Tek' just looks cooler (in my opinion) than Tech. 

[Lunaris]

Lunaris Parukia is a character originally supposed to spoof Sonic the Hedgehog character Solaris.
Lunar is the opposite of solar, so it became Lunaris.

I realized this name was common, and decided to pick another name.
Since Solaris was a god of time, I took the name of the Pokémon Palkia, the god of space, and finally came up with  Palkia's Japanese name, Parukia.

I later figured out that Lunaris is Latin for lunar.

As for my fursonas, Luna Rising the Light came from the Latin "Luna", meaning "Moon".
The first three letters in "Rising" following "Luna" spells "Lunaris".
Since Luna's role in the test fic was to spoof Mephiles the Dark, I came up with "the Light".

Mephistopheles Lucifer R. Iblis' name comes from the names of demons, and he was the direct result of a slight childhood trauma.
I don't know what that "R" stands for, though.

Coming up with names is one of the most fun things about creating a character.
Sometimes I even come up with a name first, and then create a fitting design/background.

Sometimes I use portmanteaus such as Devile (Devil, vile, evil and defile), words in other languages such as Luna (moon), simply English words such as The Haunt, sometimes I think up random stuff like Dark Zereon, sometimes from an already existing name, and only rarely I use normal names, although these names are often puns, like how Cecil Etrity is an anagram for "electricity", or Lucy Fur sounds like "lucifer".

[NeeChee_coyote]

NeeChee was branched off the name my grandad used to call me. He used to call me Chichi. I thought that wuz cute, but neechee just sounded cuter to me, and then it just kind of stuck. NeeChee also kept on coming back to me during the meditation of finding my spirit animal, which is also where i got my coyote fursona came from ^^

[Zhono]

I put down "Original" but it's kinda both referenced and original. The name came from a previous human RP character I created; a sort of Tidus-like personality that carries a bladed shield as a weapon. I came up with the name by just mixing letters together and trowing them against the wall. About 137 names later, I ended up with "Zhono Veranhaut" and it stuck.

[Drakos]

Mine's sort of referenced. I wanted my first name to have something to do with the whole dragon fursona. I looked up the greek word for Dragon and up popped "Drakos." The name seemed to fit and it seemed catchy so that's what I've gone by ever since. My last name I came up with myself recently, and I thought of it I guess just associating fire with dragon. I'm not sure where the word "Dark" came from, but it just seemed to fit in my eyes .

Not that original, I know . It works though doesn't it?

[Foxen]

It's my real middle name. 

[Scar WhiteDream]

It's my real middle name. 

cool    be proud to have it ^-^

[icy wolf]

it would be interesting to see how the rest of TFF's mods came up with there name

[Ninjalion]

I used "Rio Maikah Thor." As my vote, I created it. Ninjalion is his nick/codename.

When I first came onto these forums, I was originally known as "Rain." Which was a Black Panther. I found that. But everything about "NinjaLion." I came up with without any knowledge that it was taken.
