Why Sevim?
12 years ago
So, just in case all you watchers were wondering why I chose Sevim to be Skye's last name, well, here's the low down for you.
First of all, 'sevim' is taken from the Turkish word 'sevimli', which basically means cute, lovable, charming, sweet, etc. (I believe Skye is lovable most of the time...except when someone happens to piss her off!)
As I was conjuring up Skye, I also found out that I had a tiny drop of Turkish blood in me. (My uncle is a huge family history buff, he loves going on ancestry.ca and all that jazz.) So, I wanted something that paid homage to my newly found Turkish roots, and I think Sevim suits Skye perfectly. Also, in her back story (which I have yet to write) Skye and her family is originally from Turkey...so it works out! (Istanbul to be exact!)
So...how the heck do you pronounce it??
Basically it's like saying 'seven', but instead of an 'n' at the end it's an 'm'.
So there you have it. The why factor of Skye's last name. And I found out that fursonas having last names are quite rare among the furry community...so hey, Skye's just that much more special! ^^ On that note, who here has a fursona with a last name? And how did you/why did you choose that specific last name? owo
