What does your forum name mean?

[FlynnCoyote]

Simple enough question.

Flynn-Coyote is just my name and sona species, and also my sona's name. But there are some more obscure names here and I was wondering if there is more depth behind them.

[FenrirDarkWolf]

Fenrir --> Fenrisulfr, Norse mythology wolf

Even though I'm more otter as of now

[Kosha]

Kosha is how you pronounce Kosher in a stereotypically Jewish accent.

[ArielMT]

First name, middle initial, last initial.  I chose Ariel after the airy sprite of Shakespeare's Tempest.

[Victor-933]

It's my FA username. I stole it from Halo 1 because it sounded cool.

Victor 933 was the callsign of a crashed Pelican dropship in the first part of the chapter 343 Guilty Spark.

[DrDingo]

It means I'm a shameful furfag

[Endless/Nameless]

Has something to do with my sona's backstory that I concocted for some reason

+ Protected my relative anonymity when I first joined

+ Slightly obscure musical reference 

[MuttButt]

i am a mutt

who has a butt

[CETME]

My username doesn't mean anything at all to be honest 

[Revates]

Some Latin words very very loosely connected to my irl name mashed together in an unholy abomination that I like the sound of. Fun times.

[Astus]

My fursona name cuz I'm original like dat 

[LazerMaster5]

When I was 12 and new to the internet I was obsessed with the Lazer Collection and needed a username to go by. Shit kinda stuck.

[arcana]

I used to use other names, got tired of them, went with arcana.

 

I was actually going to register under the name "Pandora's fox" because lol puns, but one of my friends referred to me as 'arcana' in another thread before I registered, so I decided to just roll with it. I stopped using this name since some people associate it with Dota, which I don't play.

[Feelwell]

My 'sona name, which I came up with because I don't like feeling unwell, and I enjoy helping people.

Feelwell.

_{Because Feelgood is the name of a Motley Crue album.}

[Saxon]

It's 'Saxon' because that's a common dog's name and because it's distinctly English, just like me. ;3

I probably don't have Saxon roots though; my family name is Nordic.

Do you have any enemies named Norman?

No, even if they did end the Viking age. ;^; 

[Mapa]

I thought hotpocket was boring so I switched around some letters.

[#00Buck]

It is the name I use for Bass Fishing tournaments. 

[Vae]

I made it up a long time ago,
and it stuck.

[Luca]

It's a simple, easy to say, 4 letter name. I picked it because I don't particularly like my real name?

[Sarcastic Coffeecup]

It's my old name from the old forums.

Didn't want to make it the kind of coffeecup I usually go by to avoid getting mixed up with this lot if someone was to google it.

[Clove Darkwave]

It's a goth joke.

[Thundeere]

OKC Thunder are the best. My last name is Deere

Thundeere

[Alexxx-Returns]

It means nothing. It's just my own name with extra X's added for extra sexiness, and a random word added on the end that was the first thing I came up with that sounded okay.

The first place I used it was AFF. I was deliberately trying to change usernames and I was sat there for a while just thinking of words to go on the end of the name.

The hyphen is a deliberate feature though. Some places will only let you use an underscore and that suuuucks.

To be honest, I'd always wondered why you put 'Returns' on the end

Once upon a time you were Alexxx-Lupo or something like that, right?

Your sona is now a lawnmower.

[Strongbob]

Cuz Double Deuces + Bob = Awesome 

 

[willow]

it was originally the username I used on Gaia years and years ago. and then I used it for my first fursona

I think I chose Willow partially because the name sounded unique but it also sounded kind of """mystical"""

[Jerry]

It's my fursona's name.

Simple as that.

[JekoDdragon]

Jeko is my fursona's name. It means "Gekkonidae" in some language, and Gekkonidae is a family of geckos. Unintentional but I went with it. D is read as "the". D is a reference to my favourite series One Piece and Dd is a reference to a certain polish site *cough cough*. And no, D doesn't stand for dick. The dragon part is self explanatory. 

[Bunny]

My name is pretty self explanatory. I was really surprised it was still available.

[Guest]

My name means... Nothing. It literally has no meaning

Then you must give it meaning. Tread this path carefully.

Shieeet no pressure when you put it that way haha

I can tell you how it originated if you want. It stemmed from two things: my interest for the arab world (''The 1000 And One Nights'' type) and the stuff I was studying at the time, namely the digestive tract and more precisely this lil' enzime called amylase which in italian translates to amilasi. As a worldbuilder I wanna give my characters original names so I took inspiration from this amilasi thing to call one of my dudes Amiil. I liked it, it had that arabian feel to it and it eventually evolved into Amiir. I later stole this name for some reason and used it as my personal nick instead, and it stuck: it's simple and unique which in turn makes me easily identifiable. 

And everyone lived happily forever after. THE END

[Vallium]

Even before furfagdom I always loved wolves. I was always wolf-something on the internet

I went through variations like WolfPup, Wolfpaw, Wolfheart,WolfFang (yes this is starting to sound like a warrior cat fan name but I wasnt even reading those at the time)

All of those sounded dumb so come deviantart and I eventually stuck with WolfNight, plus the added 4 characters to make my WolfNight stand out from other WolfNights: V for my name, 4 for my favorite number, X because it makes a good random username character (and I was used to adding X's in the past to usernames in case it was taken, 1 because 1 is best)

I used to go by others such as estivalevaire, triplehybrid, and Lupa the SheWolf/SheWolf. Most arent applicable anymore for various reasons.

 

Anyways this username checks out because I eventually added meaning to the "Night" half of it, realizing that I really did like Nighttime/darkness as a time of day. I find it comforting and soothing, actually

[Mikazuki Marazhu]

The meaning of my name is so deep you'll be puking rainbows

I've read things where people are named Amiir, but only with one i.

Can I hear it pretty please with cherry on top?

Uncertain if I should, because it'd be massively unfunny and dry to explain. I'm making fun of myself, essentially.

[Sidewalk Surfboard]

I got it from a Rock Afire Explosion showtape in which Beach Bear was absolutely frightened at the sound of a skateboard

[Mr.Kumquat]

I have my name because I am a child and Kumquat is a funny word.

Yeah and also The Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. 

[Vaer]

Vaer, spelled 'Vær', is my fursona name.

It's basically taking the first two letters from each of my first names breaking it into 'Va' and 'Er'. I have the 'Name1-Name2' format.

[Caledonian]

Caledonia is the old romanticized word for Scotland,.mainly used in victorian literature and poetry. Caledonian thus means "from Scotland" or "scot" in beautiful victorian lingo

[PastryOfApathy]

It's a weird not-so-funny story.

The tl;dr version of it is I used to jokingly call an old friend of mine a blueberry muffin of fun, eventually I shortened it to simply "muffinoffun" and inverted it to simply "Pastryofapathy".

Also I wanted a name to keep furry shit under so I could plausibly deny it if anyone ever thought I was a furry. Now I don't really give a rat's ass (hurr de durr geddit).

[TrishaCat]

I was at a friend's house when I was really young and I had just gotten a laptop. He had the game Spore and I thought it was really cool and constantly went to his house to play it. One day, I brought my laptop and decided that I would get the free version of the game and make an account. My friend assisted me, and when I needed to come up with a name, I had no idea what to put. My friend was eating chili at the time, so I used that. But I wanted to sound tough and cool, so I added "battle" to the name. Hence Battlechili.

At least I think that's how it happened.
