Who are you?

<< < (2/5) > >>

Super Swede:
My username on internet had always been SuperSwede, and when I came into the furry fandom I couldn't come up with any good fursona name so I just kept Super Swede, and I can't bring myself to change it, cause it's the nickname people have come to know me by :P

Stripe Kazama:
I don't really know how I got the name Stripe >.<, but I got the lastname Kazama from a character from videogame called Tekken. My fursona has some recemblances from a certain character from there.

He's got the same wings, pants and a certain mark on him.

nifela:
Quite some time ago I got my hands on "Click & Play" - a tool with which you can create small programs or games. I toyed around with it and my good friend Grahir thought that we should make something "bigger" so we started to create "deep space fight" a sidescroller type of game with different levels, different kinds of scrolling etc.

The game featured a hostile alien race which was written "Nifelan" but spoken out differently. Some time later we created DSF 2 which introduced yet another alien race - the Toshan.

My old online nick wasn't that interesting any more (also because of an umlaut) so I tired to register my account at the msn gaming zone with the nick "toshan" - which was already taken so I went back to "nifelan" - which was free wherever I used it.

So that's how I got stuck with "nifelan" which has become some kind of second name for me and less of a nickname. The pronounciation was kept like it originally developed. So far I haven't met anyone who got it right the first time without having someone else tell them how to pronounce it ;)
The lower case writing is something I'm pretty picky about ;)

I've added another nick urbanhusky for other purposes that are less of a personal nature (e.g. a more serious review-related blog) - some of you might have seen me running around with a black shoulder bag with "URBANHUSKY" written on it.

Thygrrr:
My name history is actually very mundane...

I was "tiger@change.gun.de" in an XP BBS (that's CrossPoint for all you youngsters), in the early nineties. I was Tiger in computer games, and I was Tiger on LAN parties.

However, it's kind of a common name, you know. :D

So when playing Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit, I realized that TIGER or TYGR looked stupid on those wide 7 Character license plates. Thusly, THYGRRR was born, a sufficiently individualized variant.

I was always connected to tigers somehow, so it stuck and carried over to my Furry life when I discovered the fandom; though some may know me as Zalthers Tawnstripe or Ragfoks Greyswift from my Furscape days.

A little less mundane: I have and occasionally use several last names, "Altaica", which is obsolete, and "Darkfurre", which is also obsolete (I still use them, nonetheless, haha!). The former is simply the subspecies designation for siberian tigers, the the latter emerged some 8 years ago in a bout of depression. I'm also the blue Thygrrr Talaj on Second Life, although I don't really log on anymore. But the third last name kind of grew on me, because Altaica (saintly), Talaj (virtual) and Darkfurre (brooding) each mark a very distinctive phase in the development of my personality.


Damn, so that ended up like a really convoluted mess of a post, haha!


@Lokosicek: I love your story and the sound of your name. And I like your avatar. =^_^=

Moutos Woofidis:
I bark, that's quite a few names you had there, puttytat! :D

My name comes from a misphrase of my hy00man name, and my surname is made of "woof" and an ending common in Grik surnames ("-idis").  It was a good way to indicate my locality! :D  Incidentally, this ending has the same meaning as "Mac" in Scottish or "-son" in Scandinavian names.  So I'm the son of Woof! *wagwagwag* ;D

Search engines (or at least Google) indicate that this surname is unique to me.  But the name appears as a... surname... also one of two words that mean "bogeyman" in Grik... ;D
