Names
13 years ago
This is not a header I like looking at names. More specifically I like laughing at them. If anyone else was ever in an acting course you probably received a sheet full of Shakespearean insults. It was like...3 columns and you could pick from maaaany rows to make combinations like...
Frothy Elf-Skinned Flax-Wench...
oorrr
Tottering Onion-Eyed Minnow.
These are fun as fuck to use in person, by the way, mostly because where I live IQs stay within the speed limit and it's socially acceptable to wear a bikini top with pajama pants in public no matter how much you weigh. They don't normally understand an insult outside of bitch, dumbass, and fat fuck.
But that's all beside the point!
I wanted to know if there's some kind of furry name list like the Shakespearean insult list. I see a lot of the same names everywhere and, since a lot of people somehow find it interesting to speak to me, it's getting realllly difficult to tell everyone apart D: I swear I must know at least 5 people with Canis Lupus in their name. Not that that's a bad thing, but they all get SUPER pissed when I ask "Sorry...which one are you? I'm terrible with names" (especially when they're all the same.) If picking a furry name was as easy as getting them from a list, we'd all see shit like
Canis Lupus Darkclaw
oorrr
Thunder Darkblood
maybe we could invite Darkfang Bloodthunder Canis Lupus to join us in this example.
My apologies if any of these names are ACTUAL people, but it just further proves my point! When I see names like this, I always expect the same thing...mid-20s average looking male with long hair, claims to be/speak german, and has an affinity for Columbine-like outfits. Not that that isn't cool, whatever makes you feel like an individual. What would be nice to see for a change is something ~original~.
This question is for everyone...how did you come up with your name? Mine's Micahchu because I prefer to go by Micah, but people always want to pronounce it "Mike-ah", so I put the chu at the end so people associate it with Pikachu, and pronounce it like "Mee-kah" instead :3 cos it rhymes!

And I'm obsessed with Celtic culture so I have an attraction to Celtic/Welsh names, so thats the source of my other characters mostly…
As for Hushby, originally he was a lamb, and I always associated with lambs with lullabies and sleepy-times and the word "Hush" stuck in my head so … in the beginning "Hush" was a lamb, and then evolved into a dog :I The "by" part is an homage to my professional username on other websites. > u > and its pronounced "Hush-bee." :3
Pallu, however, was a stolen name from a character I passed by when I was in high school x3 WHOOPS :U Said character is completely unrelated to my Pallu in any way. Just took the name e u e'
No CanisLupus Wolffang Bloodcrest here. :U also I dont' speak any german :> and I don't have any wolf characters. :P
But….you know this, of course ;3
Also, Hi Mitchi!
Sooooo purely in an etymological sense, your name REALLY means Peaceful Refuge… More like a sanctuary or saving grace than any sort of insanity.
