[PERSONAL 3/28/12] My Name
13 years ago
I randomly feel that I should explain the meaning behind "Blaez Rhoswen"
To start off with my explanation, I have to give a bit of back story. I am very particular when I chose names for anything. It took me about a year after discovering I was a furry that I chose the name "Blaez" for my fursona. Back then, I wasn't a fox; I was a red wolf. So, I had spent hours and hours pouring over dozens of different websites, looking for the perfect name; one that described both me and my personality, but still sounded the way that I wanted it to. I knew as soon as I discovered "Blaez" that it was the name for me. Its an Old Celtic name that means "wolf", so that was an obvious fit. And its reminiscent of a blazing fire, referring to the colour of my fur coat.
It took almost as long to decide on a last name. Before I did, I decided that I'm more of a fox, but didn't want to loose the wolf aspect. I'm not very fond of blending species (tho I have nothing against those who do, I just personally didn't want to me mixed). That's when I decided on a fox lycanthrope. Keeping that in mind, I continued looking for a last name. Again, I found another Old Celtic name that fit perfectly: "Rhoswen". It means "the white rose". The first thing that I thought of after reading that was about how a rose blooms and how it is very similar to the way that the moon blooms as it waxes, immediately reminding me of the werewolf side of me.
Putting the name together, "Blaez Rhoswen", sounds very elegant as it is, but the when I combined the meanings, I knew that's what I wanted my name to be. When put together, it directly means "The Wolf of the White Rose". ^-,-^
