When deciding on a fursuit character's name. . .
10 years ago
hey... fyi, I am NOT the Youtuber Teal Deer. We both based our name and likeness off a dead meme. I made my character concept first. Chill out, ya bunch of zealous furry dweebs.
I know I try to keep things like this in mind:
How easy it to pronounce?
Can a person hear you saying the name through your suit head? "Spot" probably sounds a lot like "Scott" under 3 inches of foam and fur!
Will it be easily misspelled?
"Now is that Schroder with an "sch-" or just "sh-"? wait, is there a "u" in Schroder?"
Of course a badge may help with this end of it. However, not everyone is the best with spelling, so mistakes will happen!
Does the name have the potential for unwanted innuendo?
I wanted to name a character "Rucksack", but thought better of it when I realized the "sack" part of the name would make it an easy target for sexual jokes ]:C
What things do you guys consider?
