Call me Carol part 2
10 months ago
For context- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11007033
Puppy wishes to open this with a disclaimer- YES, PLEASE still call me Carol, if you need/want to refer to me by irl name. :3 However, to clarify, calling me puppy, Skoon, or even Cookie, is still also entirely acceptable! Cookie is my nickname, puppy is how I often refer to myself, and Skoon is my pen name and former fursona species. So these are all fine. <3
The primary reason I am making a follow up journal though is to address my stated guilt and unwell feelings about not picking the name I truly wanted for myself (Carol), as my first name. Instead puppy relegated it to her middle name and went with a gender neutral version of her dead name.
Puppy got to thinking though, late last night, and somebody accidentally stumbled into it thus prompting this journal. I believe I have reasoned my way into comfort with my new name. Although, again, I still prefer to be called Carol in context.
Here's the plot-
My legal first name is now Chris. Just, Chris. As in Christine. Puppy stuck with the neutral version because she has never been able to get the people around her where she grew up to stop calling her Chris, so it was an unfortunate self defeatist attitude- we're past that now- moving on.
Puppy, in her fursona form, has always had red and green eyes and a white, snowy mane. Even when she was a Skoon! Before the Eeveenroc change.
Her name is now Chris Carol.
She has Christmas colors.
Have you put it together yet?
By complete blind coincidence puppy has made herself Christmas themed. Which is even more apt considering she LOVES winter. Climate change has been very hard on pup.
Puppy is legally Christmas Carol. That is adorable.
After realizing I had done this puppy suddenly felt far more at ease about her decision. kehe uwu
What a fun coincidence!

That is for real super nice/validating to hear!
I am so glad that makes things easier for you, Pup! 🫂 I can only imagine the "WAIT, WHAT THE F-" stare of realization you had at the screen. 🤣🤣 "HAAAANG ON A SECOND-"
Then you guessed it totally blind to her first name. XD
If it were me, despite actually liking the name Chris, (And I've always had a lot of friends named Chris) I would have always had a problem with being named that because of its connection with Christianity though.
