Who are you?
Barney:
I've been in the furry fandom for about a year now and I've seen a lot of furs running around at EF13. I wonder though how some of them got their names. So here's my question for you: how did you get the name for your fursona?
For me, the name Barney does not come from the dinosaur with the same name, but from Barney Calhoun, the protagonist from Half Life: Blueshift.
BlackWolfFenris:
Chatted a lot a few years ago and we made feral rp. So we called our pack "Black Wolves" ... and Fenris is from Fenrir in the germanic mythology ^^
Honey:
Honey comes of Honeymoon.
I chose the name because i like its double meaning.
I can be sweet as honey and i sure AM a honey ;)
Vendace:
Mine's from a book I read some time ago, one of the Redwall books. "The Bellmaker" if I remember correctly. Vendace was a minor character (He had like one, maybe two apperences before getting killed.) A couple years later, the name popped into my head again ^_^
Lokosicek:
Time to revive this topic :) Crossposted from my LJ:
Lokosicek's name isnt directly associated with his discovery of furry fandom, but it does has a hidden animal in it. It started 9 years ago at high school, where my classmates came to me one day and asked, whether they could call me Sokol (meaning falcon in Czech). I thought its a nice nickname and agreed. Over time they started to call me by its variations, such as Sokolik (small falcon, read as Soh-Koh-Leek), or Sokolicek (VERY small falcon, read as Soh-Koh-Lee-Check). I kinda got used to the name. Then one day I wanted to create my second email, so I chose yahoo.com to host it. The names Sokol, Sokolik, and Sokolicek were already taken by someone else, so I said to my self "what the heck?" and made an anagram of the Sokolicek. Through this, Lokosicek was born (read as Loko-See-Check). One and half year later I accidentaly found the furry art and furry fandom while looking for photos of ligers. And so my journey began...
