How did you name your sona?

[Inkblooded]

I'm asking because mine is still unnamed, and it seems I can't find a name I like anywhere. I even made a contest for it on DeviantArt, but that didn't work out either. I guess I am just very picky :<

So, how did you name your (fur)sona? Do you have any tips or suggestions I can try?

Changed like 2 or 3 letters in my furaffinity verify your account code

That's a pretty good idea, unfortunately, all I have is shitty reCAPTCHA tile click verification. I can't name my fursona "Selectallsquareswithstreetsigns"

How I name my characters:

20000-names.com

Rolling on the Dark Heresy name table a few times and mashing outcomes together.

Stealing from other works.

I used a Quebecois name generator

I misread "Rimna" from a game I once played. The other name was nothing close, but I can't remember exactly what it said. Might as well have been "Rinthama" or something similar.

I guess I'm a retard xD

I came up with Akuro (悪路) with a Japanese friend of mine. I wanted a name that reflected the life that my sona and I share, so I went with Akuro since it translates to "Bad Road". Zinnui is from a fictional language I created. It essentially means "one who burns".

I've tried the meaning method too but it didn't seem to get me very far :< It's like I kind of have something in mind but I also don't, if that makes any sense.

It does. Why not make a placebo name until you can find one that you like? I looked at your unnamed sona, and I'll admit I couldn't think of anything. He's kinda cute though <_<

Placebo name...? Like what?

Hello. I am me. Goodbye.

*Waves goodbye*

Edit: Correction, me is me. Thank you

Lmao this is probably a cringey way on naming your 'sona, but honestly I love Elvish names but suck at coming up with them. So I just googled Elvish name generator and kept clicking till I found one I liked!

I have some characters that I name after gods/goddesses though (typically Nordic ones)

 

[EmpressCiela]

Like some generic name that'll just be there until you can find an actual name

So you mean Placeholder name? Placebo is a psychological term.

true, true.

 

[JamesOtters]

Yeah, I was like:
"Placebo Name?"
You made a new term. Here it is now, you can thank me later.
A name that doesn't actually do anything, but your brain will actually do the thing.
I simplified it...

 

[EmpressCiela]

Hm. It still could work, depending on the context of it. maybe....

 

[MissLizzyLizard]

I went to a fantasy name generator and used 'succubus names' as the filter cause thats what I fancied myself as at the time, instead of the fat ugly thing I really am.

However after people constantly pronouncing Rytha as 'Rai-tha' and making a huge awkward deal out of the pronunciation I ditched the name and just used my real name instead.

 

[Inkblooded]

Hmm. I've tried a few generators. But nothing has stuck so far.
I found something that was almost good enough. But it was too long.

 

[Old Fashioned]

I named my character (Vestibule Abend Green) based on where he was found, when he was found, and his color . I did this mostly to give some insight into how little his adoptive parents cared about him and the conflicts that creates.

 

[redhusky]

Red's my favorite color so I went with that.

 

[Tilly_Cheshire]

My fursona is a mouse, and as a child one of my favorite films of all time was American Tale. The sister from the film when she gets her Americanized name goes from being "Tanya" to "Tilly". Additionally, she's kind of a crazy, fun, dark purples and bright venom green colored mousie. She's a bit punk rock and kick ass, and visually she made me think of the Cheshire cat. Mash 'em together and you've got 'er. Tilly Cheshire.

 

[abluehusky]

I have absolutely no idea, i made mine up 2 years ago.

 

[biscuitfister]

I just named mine after my pet fish
