Whats the meaning of your name?

[Mikomi]

So i was thinking about this,
why did you pick your name?
And i mean your fur name btw.
Does it mean anything?
Where did it come from?
Did anyone help you pic it?
Ect.. ect..
So basically i think it would be interesting to know the origins of each others names.

So ill start of then ^^
My name is Mikomi,
It means Hope in Japanese.
Cause i always seem to find the silver lining in a situation, and i tend to be full of hope and all that jazz.
My ex and i picked it out from a few names, different languages and meanings.
We picked this one cause it seemed to suit me.

[Wyrd-Hotd]

Well... Mine Started from reading the Inheritance Cycle, (IE. Eragon, Eldest and Brisinger) It comes from the "Ancient" Language In the book, "Wyrd" Means Fate, i chose it because it was this particular series that actually really made me join the fandom. Then, the Hotd means Heart Of The Dragon, i dont think i need to explain that in any way XD Thats my little story.. huh... never really realized... it kinda means alot to me...

[Hadlock]

Back in Grad 8 i lost the lock for my locker right before locker cleanout. and I had a hindu teacher at the time so he didnt speak good English, and he asked "Davis, were is your lock?" and i was like "uh....i Had a lock" "you Hadlock?"


even though thats how i got it , the name hadlock is really important to me :3

[Vanilla Skunk]

My parents never allowed me to watch the Felix the Cat cartoons.  Figure that one out.

McKline is one of the last names that the scottish side of my family had long long ago.  I had McKline and McGreggor to choose from, and the bulley that was on my case all the way from grade 2 to grade 11 was named Greg.  So, no McGreggor for me... just McKline.

McKline is actually a derivitive of McClean, if you wish to do your research.  The family crest has three words on it: Honour, Virtue, and Mine (Posession).

[Silvermink]

<-- obvious

[Fargo]

A friend came up with the name as a joke. How FAR would I GO to get what I wanted. It also fits, because I do kinda like the old Fargo P/U trucks too.

[Badinage]

I came across mine one day years and years ago while recreationally browsing a thesaurus. it means lighthearted/friendly conversation and banter.

[EpicurYeen]

I have three fursonae that originated as characters on Yiffstar's defunct MUCK, starting with Yotie (the name by which I am most commonly known in the BC furry groups). When I got to Yiffstar, I was still identifying myself as mothx3, which is one of my two Therian aspects. The MUCK was geared toward sexual encounters, and I didn't feel comfortable RolePlaying as an insect, so I chose the coyote because I thought its night time behaviours were similar enough to moths that I could take it on. Originally, my name was coyoteboy, but one of my first encounters suggested that name was too long and impersonal, so he called me Yotie - this was in March, 2006.

Atnarko has a whole lot of background that I'll spare your eyes from reading, but he's a leaf-nosed bat, and I named him after a river that I have camped beside as a kid, in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park (500+ km west of Williams Lake). This is the name that I go by on Second Life & Fur Affinity. I have been frequently called Atty, or Atnar.

Lycaon is my third character, an African wild dog, whose name is the canine's genus, and also has some links to Greek mythology. [Son of Pelasgus. Lycaon was a king of primitive Arcadia who presided over barbarous cannibalistic practises. He was transformed into a wolf by Zeus, angered by human sacrifice. His sons offered Zeus, disguised as a traveller, a banquet containing human remains; they were also changed into wolves.] So if you catch me trying to eat someone... beware.

Some pre-furry friends still call me moth, and I have been called mothboy, and mothy.

[Tony Greyfox]

My fursona/main character's full name is Anton, and I borrowed it from a character in Steve Gallacci's 'Birthright' comic, right around where I figured that the grey fox/kitsune was what fit me the best. I shortened it to Tony for less formality. (Full name is Anton K'Therin; in the context of my backstory, the middle name is a patronymic that is short for 'kit of' - Therin is the character's father.)

My other characters: Dhani, a panthress, was a word I lifted from Swahili, I believe (she started out in a Lion King-based RP), and I had no idea that George Harrison's kid was named the same. (I also use Dhani as my character name on SL, though she's a skunk, and a he, there... ... I just confused myself.) Keileigh, a ferret, is a variant on Kylie, just because I thought it sounded cool. Tamiko's a bear I play very infrequently who was also a main character in my one published story... her name came from a song by Hemingway Corner that reflected her bittersweet personality and background.

I have too many characters. =P

[WerewolfRedX666]

lol um i fail my name is my XBL GT  which comes from a thing my friends would tease me about >.>

[hammy]

it's a shorter version of my real name.
the nickname was given to me by others (non furs)
found out later it means "over the top"

[Zythren]

Umm... It's just kinda something random I cam up with a couple years ago. I had a different name from a story series I used to LOVE... But I'm not telling anyone that one. xD

[DieselDog]

I went by a couple names untill I could find one that I liked being called.  ass*&% Just didnt sound right.

My name has alot to do with my career and such.

[PurpleVeggie]

hmm. where did PurpleVeggie come from? I can not remember. I guess I was just plucking names for a youtube account and that came. works with my character being of eggplant heritage I guess  ;)

[Temrin]

Hmm well i have too many characters. Most are from the Anthropomorphic post-by-post RPG www.ramath-lehi.com

Temrin is the name i go by now, and have gone by for quite a few years now. The character behind the name is originally from said RP site. They have their own language on the site and a translator you can use. I dont even remember what i originaly put into the translator but i liked the layout of the word that came out, but it didnt sound right, so i changed a few letters to come up with Temrin. Full name is Temrin Sanjem. Sanjem it Temrin put back into the translator.

And since then even people i've known in real life have even called me Temrin. Or well, Tem or Temmy because they know the character would kill them if she was ever called that and of course i cant do much about it but ignore them or hit them XD
