Fursona name straight from the brain. I have churned out a lot of fantasy sorts of names for a while and this one stuck.

I just used the name of my sona, and the name of my sona came after 2 weeks of paying attention in history and searching up words in the dictionary. The funny part is that I have a one letter difference to a known furry that I bounced into on FA XD. Made me think about the odds of that happening as I had to contact them and explain the whole thing. We both had a laugh as they said that it was no problem X3

Up till now I still think about the odds of this happening! XD

I will walk beside you
Guiding and showing you the way
I will not leave you
I will be standing on the path watching you
If you ever feel alone
Close your eyes
You will see six sets of foot prints
Two belonging to you, four to me
Then you will know that I have not left you
I will be there to guide you, whenever you need.

Tengu (or Kenku as they are sometimes know) are a race of shape-shifters from Japanese and Chinese mythology, shifting between birds of prey and human forms. While there are a wide variety of different types of tengu, they are often seen as militant benign protectors or fierce malicious spirits, often the spirits of master swordsmen or buddhist priests. 
I felt a great interest in them after my first exposure to them in the White Wolf World of Darkness RPG, and have been using variants of the name ever since.

Celestial came from one of the DragonQuest games and i liked the idea of Angels being earthbound, and the final part changes from Drago and Dragon based on my basic preference. Dragon because i like Dragons and because i looked at some words that were similar to dragon once upon of time, and then i came across the word drago

Mine came from a series of names I did back when I played Ragnarok Online xD


I had Stealth Sushi (An assassin)
I had Sushi Magic (A Professor- which is a mage)
I had Tank Sushi (A Paladin)
I had Holy Sushi (or was it The Sushi Grail? Either way, priest)
And a few others but I can't remember them all.


Stealth Sushi stuck with me the most XD

"Evna" is from Evne, which means Ability in Norwegian (and apparently Evna means "their ability" according to Google translate, so that works too). My family is Norwegian, but everyone pretty much abandoned the language, so for a while I was interested in learning it myself. I made multiple RPG character names including "evne". While developing a fictional language, I made the word for ability "Evna", based on the Norwegian word.

"Mishko" is from "MishkoswIn", which means strength in Potawatomi. I originally used it for a character of mine, for her culture was inspired by Native American culture. I liked the sound of it, so I used it as part of my username as well.

So, that makes an approximate meaning of "(their) ability and strength," which is supposed to be sort of a motivational name for myself.

You know, I'm really not sure where "Wolxikin" came from, all I know is its the name of my fursona as well.

Got my name from a dragon name generator. Put in my name and it gave me the result of Jargon white-eyed. It kinda stuck with me and I just shorten it to Jar.

I've had several usernames in the past(and still do), but the reasoning behind this one is pretty simple. Clearly my favorite color is purple, and I really liked the translucent color of amethyst/purple quartz stones as well as its mystical/elegant sounding name. Moreover, the amethyst gem is technically my birthstone(was born early).

Well my old one was just a name I randomly got online and I mixed animals as a furry, honestly Gaia wasn't actually my fursona only a temporary thing.
But I was actually making Zaida, her name, species, ect.
But on topic Zaida (Za-Duh the I is silent if some of you didn't know) just came to my head and I liked it a lot ^^

I have quite a few sonas, so I felt like I couldn't use the name of just one of them... I wanna be able to use/represent all of them. So I just went with the generic Furrball. But I put two R's in there, so it was closer to the word "purr."  :P
I make sense to me.... does that count?
