Who are you?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Gyroplast:
Well, as I'm often asked how the hell I came up with my nick, I might as well chime in. ;)

It was on a sunny afternoon in May 1998 when little me had to come up with a nick for FurryMUCK. Constraints: Sufficiently unique. Sooo.. grabbed a dictionary and thought of two uncommon words to jumble: gyroscope and Hansaplast (plaster/medical supplies brand). There you go. Simple! Got nothing at all to do with foxes, but who cares!

And no, I do NOT have a plastic or rubber fetish, nor am I consisting of either. That's just something I play along with usually for shits and giggles. :)

That name stuck with me ever since, albeit "Gyro" (or Gy, as in 'guy', for the *really* lazy ones) is an all time favourite contraction. Unfortunately it's not entirely unique anymore, as some company from Duisburg seemingly uses a substance of the same name in their car cleaning products. Oh well.

And off,
  Gyro

MarityS:
Hehe... mine's simple... just the color "Cyan" (hex 0x00FFFF ) and add "Fur" to it... Cyan Fur :D
my surname Moana comes right off SecondLife, as i had/have a old alt of mine running there what had "Moana" as Surname :P

Basically i took the name because i thought that the word "Moon" is in there somewhere, but somefur pointed out that it looked more like the word "Moan" XD

So, that's how i got my name..

P.S.: My current SL name is CyanFur Kyomoon  (look, it that 'moon' again!).. and oh, i still have some old alt (about 6!) that i don't use anymore, even some who i can't even delete!!

Aestir:
Aestir came from the name I used a long time as werewolf: Aestirama,  I translate it to: He who watches the eagles fly

So basically Aestir means Eaglewatcher

VirtualFox:
VirtualFox...
Virtual-Fox
sorta self explanatory.

Originally my character was ... well.. a fox. before i turned him into a tiger/fox. Since it was my internet handle, i decided to use the term "virtual" infront of the "fox". Thus,
Virtualfox :D

... well.. not really that unique, but fitting :P. Possibly gonna use a different alias. but im guessing ill stay with this :D

Terril:
I like a name to be slightly unique, while not nessesarily haveing a meaning. Terril just popped up into my head when i was thinking of a good alias. Its short and direct and quite easy to pronounce. Unfortunetly it sounds like crap in my own language, hehe.  ::)
