eh, mine came from Pokemon. it started on Neopets, all the good names were taken. then came along Murkrow15, & ever since then ive been known as Murk or Murkrow.

this has been my online profile name for years. Either OPPDelta or oppHusky. Kinda in the middle or thinking what my fursona looks like.

kinda made it up with other names:

series: inuyasha

names:
sesshoMARU and kagome higuRASHI

result:
Marurashi

however my friends in highschool would call me Maru. tho i think what came to their mind was not anime or just me, but the Maru-chan brand of cup noodles 

Its a shortened version of the online name I use nearly everywhere else (Shargrath). I dont mind if someone finds out, if they dont like it, then they wouldn't be a friend to me. But I only talk to like 3 ppl or so (online and offline who are not related to me) and they all know...so, yeah, no risk there.

As to how I came up with the name originally, I just randomly thought it up.

Hyger is the species of my main fursona, Placebo. That's a hyena-tiger.

Mine is ridiculous really. I came up with Fenny...and Fox just fit. 

But then I decided I needed a full name...and decided to go with gaelic, for some odd reason. So I set off to find a name that could lead to being called Fenny.

I came out of the search with: Fionlannach Tighearnan Sionnach. Which roughly comes to mean something along the lines of "Little Lord Fox from Finland". Yay for obscure languages to make up silly names! 

So...Anglicize that and throw in a shorthand for the first name, and you get: Fenny T. Fox. Just as easy to say Fenny the Fox, so I did.
 
So my Fur Affinity page goes by FennyTFox. And that most likely will be what I use for new accounts and such from now on too, actually.

Mentioned it partially in my greetings thread...

Ziel is short for Zielmann.  I use these pretty much interchangably with all my online stuff (except for important stuff, like banking and such), and I suppose you could call it my gamertag as well...

Becoming Zielmann:  This came about my freshman year of college.  I never was much of a gamer before college.  The newest system we had was a Super Nintendo.  Other than that, we had an Atari as well.  Anyhow, they guys I ended up hanging out with all played Halo (Halo 2 at the time).  They kept inviting me to play, but I always turned the offers down, since I wouldn't have a clue what I was doing. 

Finally one day I joined in. This leads to me asking half-way into our second game "How might one go about jumping?" which we still joke about now.  Anyhow, since I didn't really know what I was doing, the guys who were really good couldn't predict what I'd be doing next.  Actually turned out that they had a hard time killing me due to this lack of predictability.  I ended up hooked on the game, and decided that I should at least make a profile on the one guy's box, so I would be able to keep all my settings and such.

Got to thinking about it, and came up with Zielmann, which is German for 'Target Man', referring to the difficulty they had in killing me.  The name caught on very quickly, and was also quickly shortened to Ziel.  Now I go by some form of that name more than my actual name, at school at least.

So to sum it all up, my name here means 'Target'.  I was a little leery of using a nickname I already had for my furry name.  But I think it fits well, as I already feel like somewhat of a different person when I go by Ziel or Zielmann.  Maybe it just took me until now to realize that feeling as actually that of a different species...

It had to be something that started with an M. I like Ms. The last name is just adding on to the cliche of Animal last names being their species.

Well my name is close to Casey but I thought that it was a great name for a Coati so I put them together with a C in the name, no spaces as some sites don't let you join with a space in the name.
Thats really all...

Let's see.

Centauri, as in Alpha Centauri. And Phoenix...idk. A tie between the bird, and Phoenix Wright.  

But as far as this name? Easy. Kitsune and Ninja. Think Naruto.

I chose mine because Allie was a childhood nickname. My real name is Amy Lynn, and there were 2 Amy's in the neighborhood i grew up in, so because of my initials i became Allie. I always liked the name and when i became a fur i knew i was a cat, and liked the play on words.

[Pet'sname:]

Well I have a few names, 1 being islandfox which is my fursona (an island fox) noblefox because I'm am very noble I will always be there for my friends and besdeki which means fox tribe. I'm very spiritual when it comes to animals so I decided to go with something in Lakota which is spoken by Indians like the apache Indians.

My user-name isn't my fursona's name. When I first joined sometime last week my fursona still didn't have a name. It took me days to decide on a name, but I finnaly ended up deciding to use the name of a charcter I made in one of my stories, Evendrae(pronounced even-dray).

I could have sworn that I posted in here before, unless that was something else >.=.>

Anyway, my name came from me mixing 'lavender' and 'lava' together in a play on words. Of course then everyone kept on bashing me for mispelling 'lavender', so it was shortened to just 'Lava'.

Same, i daydream 'Alot', and come up with all sorts of ideas. But the name SnowWolf, hmm, i can't seem to remember why i chose it? And even stranger, i hate snow 

Moonfire was originally going to be Moonflower, after a painting my mom did for me a few years back. Remembering my first thoughts about it, that it looked like a blue flame instead of a flower, I changed it to Moonfire.
For years now, my favorite band ever has been Mother Love Bone. Andy Wood, the lead singer, died in 1990, and Mother Love Bone members formed Temple of the Dog in his honor, which later became Pearl Jam. In the song Capricorn Sister, a Mother Love Bone song, there's a line that goes "You dance Electra, and the night becomes day."
Hence, Moonfire Electra. 

My explanation is about as lame as it can get.

Sanguine means one of two things: red - which, considering my fursona is a black fox, obviously isn't the definition I meant - and content.

For the most part, I'm laid-back, and while not exactly always happy, I'm generally content with life. So, Sanguine was chosen.

As for Foxxe, that's something I've been using for a while on MMO's. I like foxes, Foxxe didn't make me sound overtly furry, and I clung to it.

Ok, i think i know where some came from exactly...

Luna, I got that from an AVENchatRoom

Taffy, that was a nickname given to me on AnthroChat, a shortened version of TheAsexualWolfFurry

Crystal, i picked that because it matches her eyes. 

I sort of picked a name that flowed nicely in my con-lang (not for its meaning) - however, after finishing my conlang, I discovered the meaning of my name in it (not yet saying what it is), and it actually fit very nicely... odd coincidence.

 I would have to say that mine came from "Ye Olde Stlye" of spelling of the word Fox, and is also an old family name. Not much else to know really.

I took Chirgath as my Furry name 'cause it was the name of the Coyote that was sort of my pet...It's really in memory of him cause the townsfolk ended up locating his den and gassing him, his mate, and thier pups. Sad day, but his memory lives on.

[Pet's name:]

I guess I should have made my screen name this but... My Cadger is named Marc Malone. I think the Marc part is from this guy I used to know in summer school named Furman, ironically. He seemed like what I thought of cool at the time and I thought his name was as well. Malone I made mainly for alliterative purposes and the fact that I think it means something cool in some language.

Both the moogle and the Onion Knight are whimsical and Unique characters. 

My name came from a character that I used for a MUD (multi-user dungeon) that I kinda role-played with, then I started using it as screen names, and finally applying it to my fursona

The correct spelling of my furname is actually Cosantóir, which is Irish Gaelic for "Protector."  Choosing Irish Gaelic stems from the fact that I am very close to my Irish heritage.  I chose the name itself because of my military background and a lifelong desire to protect those around me, friend and stranger alike.  If someone genuinely needs my help and there is anything in my power I can do to help them, I do.
