What inspired you to use your username on this forum? Is it specific to this site? Does it have some profound meaning, or is it simple in its significance?
The name I am using currently on this forum is specific to this site, coming from the lyrics of Changes by Phil Ochs.
The world's spinning madly
It drifts in the dark
Swings through a hollow of haze
A race around the stars
A journey through the universe ablaze with changes

Wanted a name, typed random letters, found something that sounded OK, got a name. ^_^

His name comes from the elf language of the woodland realm it means half blood walker. Kal meaning half blood and anikal meaning walker of. His full name is kalanikal artheom, artheom meaning bluepaws coming from his wolf half. He descends from the bluepaws line. A little pun I made on blue bloods. So his full name is kalanikal artheom, half blood walker of the blue paws

Alpine = Well, I like snow..... yeah.
Sandow = DAMIEN FREAKING SANDOW.

Razor was the nickname I gave to my rayquaza in pokemon Ruby

One day I signed up to a website with Razot instead of Razor.
Razot1 was a name I used when I forgot my password for Razot.
MrRazot was suggested when I forgot the passwords to Razot and Razot1 on YouTube :)

Luggz is a nickname I earned in school and I have used it in various places since.

Well, Nick is a given. My real name is Nicholas, after all. However, Sintari is an interesting one. I have a little story to tell with it.
So, when I was younger and I made this character here, I had heard of the star Alpha Centauri. So, lacking a surname, I decided to pronounce the name phonetically based on how I assumed it was pronounced; Sin-tar-ee; Sintari. I stuck with the name for two reasons. Nick Sintari was originally very... outlandish, much more brutish than Sytex. So the word 'sin' sounded like an amusing fit for the nature of it all. However, I changed that part of him, making him into much less of a brute and more of a social outcast going against the expectations of the society around him, so for that (with this world being a lesson to those ignorant fundamentalists), the word sin still fit, but in a different definition, since everyone thought Nick's birth was a bad omen for seemingly 'defying the natural order.' That, and his black scales only seemed to perpetuate this idea further.
So yeah, the character's name is my username, and there's the story of its creation.
-
well It used to be Naismith, taken from a character of a book that I rather liked, His name was Miles Naismith. He was sardonic and sarcastic and just generally a cool guy. He was also extremely smart and had a bit of a problem with authority.
before it used to be Fox0509, which came from the YouTuber Kitty0706. I saw that when I was looking for a name to call myself, and i thought "wow that looks cool!" so I took it and went with 0509 instead of 0706. why 0509? dunno. random numbers.
My current one? been playing a little too much red orchestra. Found My avi. The name just kinda came along with it.
-
An anime called Wolf's rain.
Needed a username for another site a few years ago and had recently been watching it, so it was the first thing that came to mind and I've kinda stuck with it since.
Sometimes (usually when Cheza is taken or too short) I also go by Chezana, which is just Cheza + the two last letters of my real first name.
-
I used to go to Furtopia daily, but I was young and very shy so I didn't post much. Unless it was a fun RP, then i'd be a smaller character.
My old username was The_Invisible_Mongoose. And since I was not thinking straight or good with names, I just used the initials.
So now i'm Tim, sometimes Timmy or Tim-Tim... depends on who is calling me.
That's how OI made my name.
-
My last name is Groves and in primary school I was nick-named "groovy" and variations of that. And I've always loved Grunge music especially Nirvana. Put the two together Grovy- a play on words between my last name and the word groovy, and Grunge and you get Grovygrunge.
I went to the Tomska school of making usernames it seems
-
I was watching standup comedian Chris Titus do a bit involving a German Shepard. It was a military gsd, and trained to kill. The dog was sicked on Titus when he called the dog "Taco". He begged the trainer to make "Taco" get off. So the trainer is like "Get off him Taco!! Stop it Taco!! Taco release!!" (Knowing that it would not respond to that name).
Eventually the trainer touches the dog and it releases Titus. Then the trainer leans in and says "The dogs name is Teiko [Tay-Ko]". I thought that was a completely badass name for a doggy. So i stole it lol.
Here's the bit:

Armonia is my fursona's name lol
Actually, I just came up with it when I was developing a fursona last year. For some reason, a lime green deer fox with cotton candy striped antlers should be named "Armonia". Obviously, designs later and a title added, and the real Armonia reigns with a soft paw.
-
Well, originally I went by MortisReptus. I still sort of do. It means dead reptile, which, at the time most of my characters were.
Since then I've swapped to Mortimus-maximus... Which started because one of the life models in a class of mine called me Mortimus... And so I'm the maximum Mort. Mortimus maximus. Yes.
-
Wanted to join a Gay teen forum when I was still uncertain of my sexuality, decided to be "anonymous"
Anonymous was taken, so tried "Anony", this was also taken, so tried "Anoni" this worked. And I thought it was good enough to stick with.
As for "Bleese", well, that's a secret
-
I used to love the show "Cheers", where Ted Danson played Sam "Mayday" Malone. This led to my original name, MaydayMaul coming from Sam (mayday mal)one. Later on I changed it to just mayday and now this.
-
Mine comes from my Fursona, his name is Max and he carries a voodoo doll of himself
-
My fursona comes from my first boyfriend who's name is also Leo, same as mine. The second part is a way of saying "I love you" in japanese. So my whole fursona username pretty much means "I love you leo", but me and my old bf broke up like a long while ago so now it pretty much means "I love myself" xD.
-
'Zarconite' doesn't really have a meaning but it came from me wanting to have a more evil sounding name for my death knight on World of Warcraft
Initially I went with Zarconic which was a mix of 'Nucleonic, my previous name and just picking a letter and seeing what fit with it
Eventually I combined Zarconic with the map addon 'Carbonite' to form Zarconite
And so, I now use this name on pretty much everything I use, It isn't ever taken on anything I want to register for, which is a bonus ^_^
-
Well its the same as my fursona, but Ulfur is actually Wolf in Icelandic (at least according to google translate). I just kinda wanted a cool name and I know that my ancestors were cool people. cx

I would use it for HL2 role play on gmod. I just got a generic name generator and looked through it till I got this combination.
-
My name came from a WoW character I was stuck thinking up a name for. And because I really love demonic mythology I adapted Lucifer into a female name. My other 'sona Winter was named after, obviously, my fave season.
-
Quite a story I got here:
Imma just tell it in the short version.
Jax: God has been gracious.
And
Xa is short for Xavier: Own a new house.
Basicly had a hard time in the past and even though im not real religous. Some force helped me get trough it all.
And well I consider Jax Xa as a new home kinda. A new start. Because I kinda needed one
So thats Jax Xa.

My registered username is Kaleb Renard Brockman, yet I have Siguire in my changed name.
Kaleb was a name I thought of, that I remember from my elementary days.
A friend I had named Caleb. I just changed it to a K. Renard comes from the famous furry music maker Kitsune^2. I believe Renard was an alternate. I liked the name. Brockman is literally a two part name. I took Brock Lesnar's name & added a suffix.
Siguire was an original name where I changed Mac/McGuire into Siguire.
((Kaleb Siguire was a wrestler I created in WWE about 4 or 5 years ago.))
So that's all about my name....s.
-
Faji is japanese for fuzzy a nickname for ferret
-
Oddly I got this name from a creepypasta. And I use it for various game names so it kind of stuck

-
i used swift as a callsign on YSFlight and added shadofire to it to make the name complete. i use it on every site i'm on adding 816 or 207 to the end if it's already taken.
i'll wind up changing it to Antares Forneus (or fenris, idk yet) since swift has too many bad memories behind him.

I just said "Huh...red's my favorite color..." and then in typed in locus...well it was supposed but in to be locust...but in my haste i forgot (or missed the T key) and from that point i just rolled with it
-
My username comes from my Fursona. As for his name, it reallt has no special meaning. Although I did find it interesting there are a few people through history who are actually named Erasmuth. x3
I came up with his name through a technique I sometimes use called self-talk. I imagined I was sitting across a table with him, carrying on a conversation. I asked him about his name and Erasmuth is what came out of his muzzle. :)
-
Neal: has two meanings it was the name of one of my closest friends. Also it's a reference to the Nile river; this represents my love of Egypt and how when I was young I wanted to be an Egyptologist.
Albert: is the name of my grandfather even though we call by his middle name Glynn.
Henritt: I chose this name as it was the name of my imaginary friends when I was eleven who was named Henrietta
O'brain: is referring to my Irish heritage
Nicholas: the last name of my maternal grandparents
-
Wanted something original to my furriness so I said, " Hey! Wolves are cool! Hey! Spectral is a cool word!" And that's basically how I got it :D
-
I had names I made it found listing them and thought hard about it until I got Zaida, which for those that don't know is pronounced za-duh
-
Well some people actually thinky name is Ben but in fact it isn't my real name is Brandon
I chose Ben because that was always the name I wanted growing up I don't know why but Ben just seems like a more appealing name to me so I was like Ben it is
-
Mines pretty simple. Corwin I just my favorite name ever! And all my friends call me foxy. So I just threw together the two and whala! There's my name. I use it for a coupe of different things but not for all the things.
-
neal: is the name of a close friend and also a play on words for the Nile river which represents my love for ancient Egyptian culture.
Albert: the name of my grandfather and his father (although it was Albertus but anyway).
henritt: a name of a imaginary friend I had when I was young.
O'brain: represents my Irish heritage
Nicholas: the last name of my maternal grandparents.
-
well my spirit name is "Eagle Heart" and i like to think of my self as having a heart after God so ergo my name on here.
-
I tend to have an imaginative mind and I sometimes "create" words of my own. Blisk is among them and I give it the definition of " showing one's true side through the usage of a mask or disguise"
-
its how people always describe me to others, so I went with it
-
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
-
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
-
My username, AngelWingsCreations, is not only used both on here and deviantART, but it's also the name of my future art webstore.
-
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
-
Actually its quite cliche, my username means 'Anthro' in japanese, >.< however i only used part of the word
the actual word is 'Bunka jinrui-gaku'
~
Jinrui

"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.
-
My Original username was MrUlrikist
The new one i used from 2008 is AnViFox
MrUlrikist come from a danish word Mester Ulrik <--- My Name and then Islagkage with an extra T for aesthetics Islangkage means Ice cream Cake and well its from my younger days :)

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
-
Mine's from Grimlock! The most awesome Transformers ever born! XD
-
During the loading screen of a Halo multiplayer session, I remember it would randomly give the xbox a name. Mine ended up being toxicdog, and now we're here!
