Never heard the name before, but in a desperate attempt to come up with a name for one of the characters in my book, I took the name Nathan (It was the first one to came to mind  :P ), changed the "N" to an "L" because... I don't know, I just did.  XD Then decided Layton sounded better than Laython. Then decided I didn't like the spelling but I liked the sound, so I just changed the spelling. Thus, my current and sixth sona, Leiton, was born. Oh, and his last name was decided to be Grey, since that was/is my favorite color and it makes a good last name.
Since I made it and my character, it has just sort of stuck, and really just seems to fit. Heck, I've gotten to the point where more people (even in real life) know me more by Leiton Grey than by my real name...  <.<

I like the name. And it totally sounded familiar and finally I remembered that the main character of one of my favorite Animes, Chrome Shelled Regios, was named Layfon Alseif. So it sounds really similar.


Anyway as for my fursona name, I am currently learning Russian and my favorite Russian name I know of has always been Mikhail. Once I decided to use that I quickly searched for a Russian surname that would sound good paired with it. Hence, Mikhail Zolotov. Kinda rolls off the tongue in my opinion. Anyway it looks like this in Russian (as it should be) Михаил Эолотов.

This current Sona, I got the name from the Nord Goddess and the last name I wanted something spanish or so it's Deluna for those who don't know and I settled on the last name of a catchy singer o-o Kat Deluna.

Katie?

That would be my name name as in rl. Any other variation is either a variation of Katie or a randomly made up name.

However, I'm making a new sona so I'll have to find a seperate name for her.

I got into astral projection and meditation a while back.  I was soul searching extensively for a period of time in my high school years.

Eventually, the name Fel came up in a meditation section, and I knew that that was me. I even got a little visual of what I look like ^_^. I believe that it was more of a therian visualization than furry, nut i believe that the two mesh fairly closely in my life.

The "greywolf" is rather unimaginative, but ive had it for years and it just never really changed

Really, it was nothing more interesting than taking a "Z" and filling it in. Nothing special. :/

back when I used IMVU  instead of calling me "Shadow"  a bunch of other furs called me "Furball"  so it stuck...my name on IMVU now is "Fuzzball"  I'm not on IMVU much anymore though.


as for my last name "Fidelis" it comes from the latin word "Faithful"  which I got from  the USMC's slogan "Semper Fidelis" or "Semper Fi" and it just stuck


Kind of ironic for a fox to have "Faithful" in his name..XD

Don't really have a fursona but in my sketches there is a gray wolf anthro that somewhat represents me, but I call him "Moby" it's what I was listening to when I created him n_n

Well, i love the name "Luke" and "White-Heart" stemmed from the way i see myself. A heart of white. Not gold, but white.

"Normal" is a word for something that doesn't exisit. It was created by those who don't challenge the status quo, and don't aspire to greatness.
Happiness is the way the Universe rewards those who face the hardships in their lives head on, with determination in their hearts.
Love is what binds us all together, what keeps us sane, makes us insane, holds the world and Universe together.
In my mind, it doesn't matter where you are going, where you've been, where you are, nor even the journey you're on. What matters is that you keep moving, no matter where you're going, where you've been, and where you are. Just keep moving.
I am White-Heart, white because it is every colour put into one, my heart is of all colours!

My fursona is called Shi I'm learning Japaneses and I liked the way it sounded plus translated to English it means death and my fursona has a scythe so I thought it'd fit  ^_^

Warren Spencer came from using a steam punk name generator.
I've been using that name as my pseudonym and i guess i just let it stick to my fursona :P
