Need a name for my Fursona.. any ideas?
« on: January 27, 2016, 10:28:19 PM »
He is a Raccoon. I'm soooo bad at thinking of names so I thought i'd ask here. I made my fursona like 2 days ago (before i was sure i was a furry) and didn't think of a name. Help me decide!

One good way to search for names is to:
Find a list of names and just read through them, maybe even check out their meanings.
Choose a top 5 list of your favorites/what you feel suits your fursona most.
And at some point one will probably stick with ya. :3

WHen I came up with Ulvus I took the Latin word for wolf "Lupus" and the Danish word for wolf "Ulv" and mixed them together. Maybe you can do something similar?

There's no Latin word for raccoon. And other languages I tried have strange symbols and all that jazz.

How about "raton laveur" (French for Raccoon) or "mapache" (Spanish for Raccoon)?

Hmm. I dunno, I'd prefer something more original tbh. The word raccoon in another language just doesn't do it for me.

I looked it up, and I did find some Latin word for raccoon.


How about "Vacyon Lobjorn"? (Pronounced "Vasion low-bjorn")


I kinda mixed the Latin and the Danish together.




Sorry, I just thought of it.

Vacyon is awesome. Not too keen on the second name. Thanks for the help btw :)

Think of something that reflects on yourself for inspiration for you fursona's name. I thought of mine because I collect voodoo dolls and I think the name Max suites my fursona well) and that's how I came up with my fursona's name (my fursona also carries around a voodoo doll of himself as a reflection of himself). Try to think of hobbies or something that describes you. Do you collect things, or maybe you like to do other things? Try to answer these questions and you may get a better understanding of what your fursona's name will be. If you need help with your fursona's name, feel free to PM me so we can talk about it.

You just gotta post a whole lot more. Then the vibrating Furby will change into a bunch of things. You can read more about it in F.A.Q.

I come on this forum when I want. It's my forum profile. Nobody on here will stop me from venting, asking questions, etc.  And if y'all are gonna be jerks just because I'm trying to get my point across, leave me alone! Think before you type! Think on the other side of the conversation! How would you feel if you were getting yelled at because you are first world venting about your life, huh? I know y'all are trying to help, but- OH LAWDIE THAT'S A LOT OF WORDS.
