What is your fursona's name and how did you find it?
I'd start, but mine is still nameless.
-
My Fursona's name is Otebon Albrecht.
Otebon originates from a name I tried to build for a story. Originally the character was to be French and I found a very interesting name that was to be his (the original escapes me, sorry) in the passenger log of a French trans-Atlantic ship that sailed in the 1800's. With a few modifications, the name became Germanic sounding and far too good for me to let go of.
Albrecht is a German last name meaning "Bright Noble". It's honestly a reminder to myself of how I wish to live my life: Chivalrously and for the betterment of those around me.
-
Aoren and Rekner were two characters I modeled after myself in two wildly different stories that eventually converged. Deringer and Ilon were their respective patrionyms. When combined they sound great, the characters fit me and I felt no reason to let go of them. So now I'm ARID- Aoren Rekner Ilon Deringer. Unfortunately that's too long so I normally go by Aoren Deringer.

Those are all good names! To be honest, I created this thread to maybe get ideas to find a name for mine. I won't steal anyone's, of course! :P

Well...I love my fursona's name (Talos) becuz of the fact that it's the name of someone important. And I didn't know it until I was 12. I was thinking of several names, and Talos just popped in my head. It said "Fierce". It said "Friendly". It said "Warrior". I never even heard of the name, I just came up with it. When I turned 12, I got curious and looked it up on google, only to find out Talos is the name of a giant guy in Greek myths who is made out of bronze and defended Europa! So...it wasn't exactly original. But no one else had it. The only person who had a username or fursona name closest to mine was "Talon". I love my fursona name still.
-
I love taking names from Mythology Talos... It's such a fertile ground for epic names.

If you want, I can give you a database that lists common names and gives their meanings. I use it for stories, but you can use it for inspiration if you desire...

Name Suggestions: Blake, Carty, Jenksh, Shade, Neo, Neron, Plazmah, Synergy, Duran, Pudge, Fury, Sparx, Linon, Bukin, Kaiser. I just made these up off the spot XD sorta. If you use one you don't need to give credit

My "fursona" is just one of many characters in a cast I've been developing over the years, having in mind some sort of TV-PG type cartoon (slightly adult in content, but relatively kid-friendly). All of the names of the characters I've come up with are cheesy puns, usually referring to some aspect of the character's personality. That's my rule when I'm coming up with a character- the name has to be a terrible pun.
For example- my main character (or "fursona", the one who's most like me) is a prank-loving amateur comedian, so his name is Joe King (sounds like "joking"). Other great names include:
Pocha Cola
Paul N. Mulleg ("pullin' my leg")
Mike Raphoni
Otto Water
Spot DeBal
Phil Aemer ("flamer")
David Burn
Caesar Passing
Ed Eucater
April Shauer
Cole Shauer
Not that I imagine anyone gives a crap, but if you'd like to read a little about each character and why they fit their names, I have a thread in the Character Galleries section titled "My little band of misfits".
More to the point though, Dirtcopter if you'd like to give me a brief description of the character you had in mind, I'll throw you some pun names relating to your fursona's personality. I love trying to come up with good ones.
-
Since my fursona is effectively me as a fox my name is one of my many nicknames. Boring compared to other peoples names but it works for me.
-
It's nice of you to offer, but I'd rather think of my own name. I hope you understand, anyway, back on-topic starting now.
EDIT: it wasn't entirely off-topic before, I just mean let's give up the subject.
-
Oh wow this is a boring story.
The name I use on this website comes from the word anonymous, anonymous was taken on the website I tried to join before (not this one), so I tried anon and anony, which both were also taken. So I tried to use the name "anoni" because y and i are similar in sounds. Thus my name.
My real online name is "bleese" which origin I keep a secret in the clan. Mainly because it's fun, people seem really interested on how I chose the name, the two currently theories believed by all my friends and clan members are that "bleese" is a combination of the words "Blue cheese". Or that I got bleese from "bleese toast" which... well... look that up on the urban dictionary. XD
-
Its the bleese toast one isn't it!?
-
I'll never tell XD
Also, if you look up "bleese" on the urban dictionary, you get something that two clan members made as a practical joke about me haha
-
Houshou Rattengod
Houshou was developed by me slamming my head into the keyboard in frustration. Then rearranging the letters to better fit my Japanese language classes. Later I found it is actually a name for one of the Budhist Gods.
Rattengod was created after I had discovered the link of the first name to the Budhist God. I readily forget what his full name is but I do know its one of the four kings and his name starts with "Rat". From there, there are a total of "ten" "god"'s. Rat-Ten-God.
-
Boone Daughtridge
The 'Zofox' you see with my profile is a little play on words for something that only my friends would get. As for the actual name. Daughtridge comes from my great(however many) grandpa who I share a middle name with, Jasper Hayes Daughtridge. I used to always use Jasper as my alias, but my brother seemed adamant on always using it so I was looking up 18th century names I could use in an RP I was going to join and Boone just caught my attention. Not to mention I was in the middle of rewatching lost and Boone was one of my favorite characters.
-
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.
-
It more than likely for be Katie or Katlyn yes >>"
-
Nah I want my new sona to have a new original name....nothing Katie-like of course.
-
Well what's the species gonna be?

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. :/
-
It just came to me one day i was going to use Novabreak but it looked to odd so i killed the a and that made my name. I love my name it gives me a fresh new life that i use anyway i want not the life that was made for me. ^_^
-
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.
-
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
-
Well, its a short story actually
my current fursona's name comes from the Turkinsh and Malaysian words for Elemental
Temel, which with the help of a friend, made it Temal, which is the first name
And Unsur, which im slowly modifying to the last name
-
My name im currently useing is something i figured out myself but i do belive it was the name of my wow char.
However i allso use a the name: Archalla which i appeared on some recaptcha :/
-
Rasui was given to me by vary good friend of mine who is like sister to me. The full detail why i was given the name exscapes me. But i know it deals with something as the 7 son. The meaning behind the name it self is dream. Which is another reason it was given to me. As my dreams are of another worlds or feel so real that makes this one a dream to me. Other than that there was not much to it. I from time to time will use Syian as an cover up name when im in the mood XD
-
It just came to me after a day of thinking, it had a nice ring to it and well..... my name came to be
-
Kyratzes Talvadore (Main Fursona) I was playing Last Rose in a Desert Garden, which was designed by Jonas Kyratzes, I've used the second name as my main fursona's first since then, and I just made Talvadore up because I liked the sound of it.
Porcius (RP/Story/Game Character) is just a generic Roman sounding name, the character Porcius is from a game I was working on set in the era of the expansion of Rome.
Kreo (Stag fursona), I just made up one day.
-
Cchytale = Totally made up word by me.
Murilega = Latin for 'cat'.
-
I love lattes, and my fursona's fur is brown like lattes, so. . . It kind of just fit.
-
I was 7 years old and my brother brought home the first game I would ever play elderscrolls 1 arena, so thats how my love for gaming started then my imagination from then on started to grow, I was so facinated with the demonic warlords called "deadra" then in oblivion there was a char named draconis so I put the two together and got Deadraconis, now I do very little gaming as I wish I could do more (highschool is hell) so as I started becoming more a furry I gave the name to my fursona and my friends started calling me deadraconis somethimes :3
-
I went to a baby-naming site and found names that meant bird-stuff. I don't even remember exactly what it meant.
-
Kalylia is the name I've gone by online for a long time now, so when it came time to name my fursona, I realized that it didn't make sense to call her anything but that. When I was at GenCon last year (the only Con I've ever been to, sadly), I routinely answered to "Kaly" or "Kalylia" when meeting up with a bunch of the awesome guys from a tabletop gaming forum I'm part of.
The name itself is one I just made up. I sort of just liked the way it sounded. ^.^7 It also affords her several nicknames. Kaly, Lylia, Lyli, Lia. XD Though I guess the most common I get is Kaly.
-
Dorylus, my old fursona and namesake of my account, is named after the genus name of driver ants.
Indrik, my new fursona, refers to the king of beasts in Russian mythology.
-
I have had soutthpaw since the early 90's. Long before I got involved in the fandom so it just seemed natural to keep it and its quite discriptive too. Yes, shocking I know but I am older than the Internet

I don't have a name yet. My parents had a new kid with the name I had before.(this happened TWICE! D: ) My friends call me Jockey, Billy, sometimes John, and countless other names. (It depends on which group of people. I just get called my username, even irl.)
-
Haha, well my fursona's name is pretty much my nickname XD everyones been calling me it for ages so it's only natural for me to have it as my fursonas name :)
-
Mine has progressively changed throughout the years (Been a fur for 7 years) but when I arrived at my current ideration it kind of felt right. Mine has huge amounts of influence from Magic: the Gathering.
Alter Strider
One who changes, progresses, the idea of manipulating and aspects of permission and control from me playing a lot of Control Magic in the game. Also the Strider, a parallel of a walker, one who zips in and out of the planes at will. I liked the concept thus the name was born.
-
I put random letters together till I came up with something I though sounded good.
-
My real name is Joshua, which I have always liked, so I used the username JoJoJoshua ever since I was a kid.
The JoJo stuck when deciding what to name my fursona. It just seemed natural.
