Was listening one of my fave songs and it suddenly hit me and it's stuck with me ever since.

"Ambr" comes from "amber" because that's the color of her markings, and I added the "ix" at the end to make it sound cool and more unique.
But even though I may have had poor judgement of what made things cool, the name stuck.

Just thought Freya was a cool name until I looked her up and discovered who she was connected to. I changed her name to Freya which is the modern form of the name Freyja. Storm was chosen because it just seemed to fit  her first name

I love Metal Gear Solid, it's the first game I ever played. so I thought it would be cleaver if I made my name into MetalGearStowe since that has a nice little ring to it. But I was given the nickname Brodie from some of my friends for being a history buff, and if you know your history Brodie derives from the Brodie Helmet worn by the British and Americans during the first World War.

Edit: Should I change my name to Brodie? Or keep it MetalGearStowe?

To be honest, I kind of stole this name from someone else. There was someone on another forum named John Grey Beard. I though it was really cool, and since my name is also John, but my beard isn't gray (yet), I started calling myself John Red Beard.

Before that, I was always JohnRaptor, a name I picked when I got my first AOL account, the same year the original Jurassic Park came out. I still have that name on my DA account and a few other places.

Ryouko was a name I always liked, I got called some stupid names because they thought I was a weeaboos but I honestly just like the name, not because its Japanese. Before Ryouko, my fursona's name was Alai, which is my real-life nickname my dad gave me.

I was trying to come up with a name for my fursona, so I decided to throw Bad Wolf into google translate, because I imagined him as a mischievous kind of person, and because he's a wolf, (It's also a Doctor Who reference) and Bad Wolf in Japanese is Baddourufu.

I joined with the name Crocoliopottimus. I got this name from Ammut The Devourer. A god in Egyptian mythology that is a mix between a crocodile, a lion and a hippopotimus. This was later shortened to Crocoli and would become my fursona's surname.

Salakar came when I was creating my fursona. I didn't know what to name it and I eventually just started writing random groups of letters startin with sa. Sa is my first two initials, so that's why I started the name with that. Eventually I ended up with Salakar after probably like 50 names.

And there is was. Salakar Crocoli became my name for this forum and my fursona.

A few reasons, actually.
Firstly, I love roses. Think they're beautifuls!
Secondly, there is a video game that I adore where a certain rebel something something and another rebellion something something is easily communicated through the phrase "Wild Rose". I made up a character based on the color scheme of a rose. And because I love that game so much, I added 'Wild' to the beginning of their name. Wildrose, or Rose to close friends. Xp
Some say a picture is worth a thousand words.
I say a thousand words is worth a treasure trove containing unimaginable spoils. Whether it's hate, disgust, beauty, rage, love, or passion. There will be spoils. And they will be potent.

I was interested in the furry community so I wanted to know more about cons and such. A news channel actually shed some light on it. And I was shocked at the diverse range of people at these conventions. So I combined "Fur", "Diverse" and "Community" to make Vurzzity. I've loved it since.

I was drinking ginger ale, and I needed a username. So I made my username Ginger Ale.


It also means "Peace and Prosperity" in Latin! (not really) (duh)
"and maybe we weren't put on this earth to rape and pillage and ravage
because god created puppy dogs and god created kittens
and our love creates a power plant
that generates this world
and if we stop now
then we'll just disappear into oblivion"
