I was reading Wolves of the Beyond, and there's a part where a bear makes up a name.
He calls himself Ishodd, and I'm all like, "I should totally make up a name!"
So I dropped the odd, and thought, "You know, I like Japanese names. I'll add jin to it, why not?"
So there was Ishjin, but I didn't like it that much, so I was all like, "Random letter to add, hmmmm. How about an N?"
BOOM! Nishjin was born!

Well, my username comes from my fursona, but I made that by going to google translate and typing in things that made me think of him. After pondering what to throw into translate for a little while, I decided on the word mirror, since Vant's personality was supposed to "Mirror" a large part of my personality. Then I decided to translate it into Romanian, one of my favorite languages to name my ocs in. According to google translate "Mirror" in Romanian was "Oglinda" which I thought sounded awesome. Then I began to think of what his last name should be and decided to see what "Wind" looked like Romanian, which ended up being "Vant" and might I add, Vant had been one of my favorite names ever. Turns out, coincidentally enough, when you put the two words "Mirror Wind" into Romanian via Google Translate it switches the words to make it look like it should say "Wind Mirror" or "Vant Oglinda".


I decided that it was cool enough and just kinda made Vant be his first name and Oglinda his last. Jeez, there are a lot of quotations in there  XD


(Though, I'm gonna be honest here, technically Oglinda is spelled Oglindă.)

Forgot to mention that my last name, Hlao, came from another book I was reading called Watership Down.
One of the character's nicknames was Hlao-Roo.
Hlao was cool, so why not?

Mine came after an old friend of mine called me Ginger Root all the time. To this day I don't understand why but one day I was creating a gamer tag and wanted something that seemed catchy.

I obviously wasn't going to call myself ginger root in videos games considering I hated being called ginger root. So I created G-Root. The reason I hyphen G-Root is because I originally spelled it Groot. People always called me Groot and constantly had to explain the proper way.

I became so attached to the name that I eventually have my fursona the name and added Liska to be his last name.

Liska is a combination of List and Task. Considering I'm the type of person to always having so many tasks and lists to go with the tasks.

My username here (I have a lot of different usernames for other sites) is main from my fursona, Nyro. But there's more backstory to it. His name used to be spelled "Kniro", and I remember when I searched that up in images, there was this weird hat that said "DJ KNIRO" on it. It kind of became an inside joke between me and my friends. Even though I changed the spelling of his name now (because people kept pronouncing it like "Nero" which was annoying me, and people still sometimes do . . .) DJ Nyro still kind of stuck.

Sometimes on sites I used "TJ Nyro" which was a mix of "DJ Nyro" and "TJ-Otter" (my DA username), but one of my friends really liked "DJ Nyro" for some reason so I kind of use that more with recently-made accounts.
Yum!

My username comes from my fursona. His name is Delta and he's a wolf. Delta The Wolf. Pretty straightforward.
