Whats the meaning of your name?

[Kaji]

Well for the longest time my favorite element of the four was and still is Fire. Japanese is also my favorite foreign language so translating Fire would be "Hi"...not much of a name so I looked for other words that would work and so I found and chose Flame. Translating that, it would be "Kaji" and that is how I got my name.

Librem Lutra Grant.

Librem: Book
Lutra: Otter
Grant: Grand large or Big.

If i wrong it book it would be by LLGrant.
Book because I am easy to read, you cannot judge a book by its cover, I have a spine and some make the pun of everyone gets a turn.

[Kanan]

I chose Kanan because the name/word  means Forest in multiple languages.  I liked the idea of the name being forest without being spelled "forest" so it fit just fine.

Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar and almond meal.

It derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of the total almond content by weight[citation needed]. Some marzipan is also flavored with rosewater. Persipan is a similar, but cheaper product, for which the almonds are replaced by apricot or peach kernels.

It is often made into sweets: common uses are marzipan-filled chocolate and small marzipan imitations of fruits and vegetables. It is also rolled into thin sheets and glazed for icing cakes and is traditionally used in wedding cakes, Christmas cakes, and stollen. In some countries marzipan is shaped into small figures of animals as a traditional treat for New Year's Day. Marzipan is also used in Tortell, and in some versions of king cake eaten during the Carnival season.

In Italy, particularly in Palermo, marzipan (marzapane) is often shaped and painted with food colorings to resemble fruit — Frutta martorana — especially during the Christmas season. May 9 and 10 are also special days for eating marzipan in Sicily.[1] In Portugal, where the confection has been made by nuns since olden times[vague],[2] traditional marzipan (maçapão) fruit shaped sweets made in the Algarve region are called morgadinhos. There are other regions, as Toledo in Spain in which marzipan is shaped into simple animal shapes, and usually filled in with egg yolk (yema) and sugar. In Latin American cuisine, marzipan is known as mazapán and is also traditionally eaten at Christmas, though "Mazapan" is generally made with peanuts in place of almonds. In the Netherlands Marzipan figures are given as presents to children during Saint Nicholas' Eve. In Germany it is common to give marzipan in the shape of a pig as new year presents, known as a "Glückschwein" (lucky pig).

In the Middle-East, marzipan (known as lozina, which is derived from the word لوز lawz, the Arabic word for almonds) is flavored with orange-flower water and shaped into roses and other delicate flowers before they are baked. Marzipan can also be made from oatmeal, farina, or semolina.

I choose it after having the nickname 'mouse' but having pet gerbils and identifying with them strongly I decided I need a name for a gerbil fursona and happened by a bakery cafe on davie street with marzipan shaped into animals including a mouse ..the lightbulb went off in my head!

I changed the form of the word to be more symbolic of me and thus it's mArZiPaN!

And now you know(and knowing is half the battle)

[Elnath]

My sister is something of a space cadet astronomy nut. She always named characters in her stories, video games and screen names after stars.

Me, wanting to be like my big sister, followed suit.
I told her I needed a name for a minotaur, she gave me Elnath, which is the name of the star that represents the horn in the Taurus constellation.
I think it translates to 'The butting horn'

Despite my other nickname, Moonrabbit. My only primary furry forms are bull related.

[velvetkytten]

I was given my name VelvetKytten by my first fur mate. He named me velvetkytten because I was always wearing velvet something. He always would say it was my excuse to get ppl to give me pets and scritches. :)

It stuck and I love it... even though he is gone out of my life.

[Raikon]

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...

Then you should know the second part of my name.

The full name I came up with was Raikon Shur'tugal.  Raikon stands for lightning soul, and Shur'tugal is from Eragon's ancient language meaning dragon rider.

[Laowin]

I don't really know where either part of my name came from.
I think that Laowin came from a modified entry from a random fantasy name generator.
Heavily modified, I think.
Aldase (more like "all days" than "all da say")
Was straight up from that same generator. Names have never been my forte.

[Taiga]

I live amongst a slew of conifers.  I love them smell, the sights, and all the animals that call it their home.  Taiga seemed to fit.

[Orion]

Despite my name being Ryan.. that's totally not why I chose the name Orion...

When I lived in Revelstoke certain constellations were readily visible right above my house, and the night sky was beautiful. I chose the name Orion the Hunter on an MMO I played way back in the day... and then carried it on into the furry fandom.

Huzzah.

And it's pure coincidence that there's a clothing line with the same name.

and they're selling a factory made version of the treat at the International News convenience store, at Braid Station.

[dragonmanmike]

Well the origin of my name stems from the subject matter I like to draw.  I've always loved to draw dragons and so I took my name, Mike, and figured I am the Dragon Man so there you go.  Nothing too complicated, just sounds like a good screen name.

Well it's not that uncommon in most candy stores or london drugs even ... that's why I am always surprised when people have never heard of it.
