Pseudonyms

I've been Sgt. Steve ever since telling a roomful of my compatriots to shut up, and they did. The blue monkey is a recent addition.

is it just me or does my pic totally not match my name. i must change it but not now because I is a tired boy

Well, I used to go by KingOfGames915 before I was a furry (I still have that SN in some places), and it was based mostly off of the fact that I played so many video games (and it's kind of also from Yu-Gi-Oh. I used to play it back in high school), as for the number, it's my birthday.

Around the time I got a Nintendo DS, I was getting into the furry scene, and since my KingOfGames name wouldn't fit into the 10 character space, I decided to go with FoxyDude to let people know that I was a fox, and a guy. Simple, but it works.

As for CJ Fox, that is rather recent, as it will be my character name when I get my fursuit. It's my initials, and the animal I am (duh).

When I first entered furrydom, I took on the name "Straker Skunk." The first part comes from "strake," a little-used English word that has "stripe, streak" among its meanings, and that [at the time] I thought sounded pretty cool.

Later, I found out that the name was attached to a character in an obscure 1970s British sci-fi TV series, as well as a few other places, which was amusing. But then, from the first time I actually heard someone say the name out loud, I hated it. Americans put too much damn emphasis on the R's

So I set out to find a new name. By then, I didn't RP as much anymore (MIT pretty much killed whatever free time I had to hit the MUCKs), so I didn't want a "traditional" name that suggested a character distinct from myself. My solution was to go with the slightly-generic moniker of "iSKUNK" (the origins of which are another story unto itself). I added the exclamation mark later on, when I noticed the cool symmetry with the leading "i", and the fact that the word "skunk" is prone to being exclaimed

Mine was my Girl Scout Camp name. Counselors don't have real names, they've got camp names.

It's much funnier that way when the camp director pops her hand out the camphouse window and yells:
"Fenris, where are you taking that ax?"
"To chop up my campers!"
"so long as its just the bad ones!"

Here's a hint on how I came up with mine:

Well, "Skippy" came from when I first met buddy Grant. We instantly clicked, and very soon I became his "Evil Twin Skippy" and we became "The Evil Twins". To which people said

"You two don't look like twins"
"Well, No.. Not on the OUTSIDE"

And with that, a sort of built in fursonia from the old show "Skippy, The Bush Kanagroo"

Well I started with the name Rabis, and still have an alternate fursona I use on occasion. It kinda came to me randomly and I just kept using it. I started drawing more and more, and decided to pick an alternate artists alias. I didn't think I was very good, and still know I have a long way to go. I kinda thought of rust and tried to remember the old chemical name. I chose Ferrous Oxide. I came to find out later that I was an oxidation state too low, and Ferric Oxide would have been the proper name, but I wasn't about to change it again. Yeah I realize I am a friggen nerd, but what can I say, Chemistry gets in your blood. Bwaaaaaaaaaaah Oh no he didn't XP.

I love Japanese import cars, particularly Nissans. I also drive a 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5S. So I thought I base my name off of that. "Alty" was then born. At the con, I was the one who wore a polo shirts that said "nismo" on it. I also wore a long sleeve shirt on Sat. night that had a huge GT-R emblem on the back. Surprisingly, I got a huge response from it. I had like 10 furries ask me where I got the shirt and if I liked cars and such. It was really nice to see other furries with the same interests as me.

my furry name is docabsinthe. the doc part comes from a favorite relative who was a veterinarian and absinthe is after the drink. I had been online for a long time (on 24k dial-up no less) and the saying about absinthe came to mind; it will show you many strange and curious things but there is a price. Your soul. After about 16 hours thats about how I felt. Used it first on the Sabrina Online yahoo club I believe.

my original name, RacCooney, was kinda silly but I decided to go with AnthroCoon:
a) means human-raccoon, and more importantly
b) a tribute to the best furry convention ever!...plus an extra "o". Numerous times I've been in one
of the elevators and people see my badge and I'll kid, "They named
the convention after me"

The other name I use is a pun on a microfurry: MikeRowe Fox

I encountered the word "Chiaroscuro" in an collegiate English class, as taught by Professor James Araudi, and was immediately fascinated byt he word and its meaning. I carefully filed it away for later use.

Then later, when working on a newer, original character to enter FurryMUCK (After having been 'Rikki' on ToonMUSH II), I recalled the word. I thought it'd be excellent suited for a character with black and white fur, and that combined with my longstanding identification with mongooses, gave rise to the name. That was over fourteen years ago, and people are still calling me Chiaroscuro to this day.

..when they can pronounce it or spell it, that is.

Alondro is a name I came up with out of no-where formy regal, handsome, noble, courageous, just, wise, suave, elegant, and absolutely perfect leonine prince (but all lions are like that, according to them).

However, about two years after that I discovered that Alondro is a little-used Spanish derivative of Alexander. But as it fits him and I can kinda see him with a Spanish accent, the leonine Latin lover, I decided to keep it. I'm also altering his surname from Feleonax to Feleonarr, to get that trilling 'rrr' sound at the end. The ladies won't be able to resist him!

And then I can also do this: Hello, my name is Alondro Feleonarr. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

I am SO going to commission that! XD

About three years after I started going to science fiction cons, I was driving home from one -- basking in the afterglow, as it were -- and it occurred to me: There's tomcat and bobcat, how about PeterCat?

Back when the little dragon was a character, rather than just another name for me (not a pseudonym, either, because as far as i'm concerned, it's as real as any other name, albeit not used by the government), i wanted something that fit but the standard technique of smooshing a few words together didn't appeal. Also, the crowd of dragons i was getting involved with had a penchant for unusual names (aured, quelonzia, aetobatus, raorazure...).

So i started digging through glossaries and dictionaries or real and fictional languages, and found the word "dester'edre", meaning wind-born sibling. So i just changed the last letter to an a to make it sound a little more gendered. There used to be more names after it to make it sound a little more official, but they never really served much purpose, and now they sound a little more high school-y than i'd like, so i hardly ever bother with them.

Heyy!!!
I came up with mine 'cause I was always known as the spastic chick in my group. Haha, I spazz over everything, so I named my fursona Spazz of course
