I got the name form a old Wing Commander game. One of the characters nick name was Maniac becourse of his flying. And its the name I use everywhere i can, or if its taken i usealy throws Dx in front. The Dx coms from when I needet to make Xbox account, and Maniac was taken. At the time I watched a lot of wrestling and DgenerationX had just reformed, so thats where that comes from.

For me I wanted it to be relevant to the furry-ness and still relevant elsewhere. Since my fursona is a bat, I used Vampyrum, due to the Vampyrum Spectrum bats. I actually have a couple different usernames depending on where, but I figured I'd make this ones (and similar or same name on other fur sites) relevant to that. Didn't want to go as easy as an actual name or something, because character/sona names are liable to change in theory.

Nothing mysterious, just my fursona's name. It has just the right amount of floweriness and pretension, which suits her nicely.

Mine is quite simple, it's just the name of my fursona.
Why 'Nutmeg'? She's a squirrel and I decided to be unoriginal about it and give her a nut-based name. Though Nutmeg is actually a spice  :3

^ That's right, a spice was named after this squirrel!!

I'm still searching for a really good username.

I started off calling myself Heroic Fox at the time it's what I called myself in another forum.

From there I used Firox as my name since it's what Cecilia came up with, combination of fire and fox.

More and more recently been more than just fire for me so Firox wouldn't fit me too well anymore. Just searching for a good fox name. For now, I just been using Foxy and which ever element I happen to be (fire, ice, water, psychic, fairy for example)

"Costas" in Spanish means "coasts" as in ocean coasts, and since I'm half Latino and I feel most home at the beach, it just made sense.

Spike was originally named for my werewolf "fursona" wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in 2006 before I even knew about the fandom but enjoyed creative writing and art for anthro characters. A play on generic dog's name fitting a character with large teeth who I used in many stories.


Eventually, Spike became my official fursona when I switched to a desert fox and then to a coyote a few years ago. He's maintained his signature fanged teeth and his name ever since.

I got mine from my dog. She was an old English bulldog and her name was iris which is also the name of the greek goddess of rainbows so that's where I got rainbowbulldog. I use it for almost everything.

I broke internet rules with mine. Initial of first with full last. if some one wants my identity they are welcome to deal with the debt collectors. I could use the break. as for the finish. well. It's my mental state. The worlds worst five digit combination. Little mixed up and some parts missing.


Of course i am talking about my full name. Ron is just what i shortened it to cause i was bored.
