How did you name your sona?

[grunesdragon]

I... um... poorly translated something. I wish I could go back and not do that, but it stuck. And it ended up actually being thematically fitting years later!

 

[Kit H. Ruppell]

I played around with the common names of different species and settled on Kit Rüppell (Kit Fox + Rüppell's Fox). It made sense, as Kit is a very common name for anthro foxes, and Rüppell is a real-life surname. Later on I discovered that "Kit" is a rare nickname for my real name. I gave him the middle name "Heinrich" after multiple (false) accusations of being a Nazifur to fuck with people. What's cool about my fursona's name is it could belong to an actual person.

 

[NomyNoms]

first of all i just named my fursona after myself but then i saw somebody had created a character that looked a lot like mine so i stole their character's name

 

[Jay98]

I spent a long time choosing my character's name to reflect my own personality.

Sammu (sam-moo), the first name, means 'shield' and it's derived from the name for armed guards, which were the first law enforcers.
the name is synonymous with being a protector of the people and an authority figure.

Akuchin (ah-kush-in), the middle name, means 'big mouth' and means pretty much what you would expect.
a person who says what they think with total disregard for the consequences of such and without tailoring their speech.
however in this spelling it's generally seen as a good thing as a person who isn't afraid to speak out about wrongs.

Tireundashi (tea-rond-ash), the surname, is actually a mashup of 2 names:
Treuntash (tron-tash), meaning strong or unwavering will and
Tiandski (tea-ansk), meaning likes to drink tea, which is a joke on me being British.

For simplicity his name is often pronounced Sam Kush Tron-dash and sometimes spelt like that too.

 

[Asassinator]

I named Aaron after my friend. I converted him to furryhood a few days later

 

[AvienWithFur]

I named Cloud, Cloud, because he is albino, so his feathers are pure white. Plus he's a bird so it makes sense.

 

[Lawkbutt]

A friend and I just came up with a random word that sounded good, lol. Not much more to it than that.

 

[MicahTheFox]

I named my sona after the a name I heard that’s always stuck out the most to me! I’ve even considered changing my legal name to Micah ;3

 

[Redwulf16]

I named mine after a magic the gathering card.

 

[HistoricalyIncorrect]

Hetman Jerzy "Boruta" Hmiejewski. Main Leader of the 4th army of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (full title)

My fascination with Eastern European history

 

[Picklepaige]

Lilith means "of the night" which I thought was fitting for a bat, though sometimes she rolls her eyes at her parents giving her a traditional bat name when she is constantly fighting the stereotypes.

 

[Rif_Foxworthy]

Rif from an old computer game featuring a fox character. Jeff Foxworthy, my favorite redneck comedian.

 

[drakoboy]

Mine is an acronym of my real name and surnames. I still haven't revealed the name because I'm new, very insecure and I'm trying to gain some confidence first, that's why I'm using this anonymous account and name for now.

 

[The Cospunk Prince]

My fursona/Sonisona, Remedy, I actually created based on the name, but I was inspired by two songs: Remedy by Little Boots and The Remedy by Jason Mraz. I was at work when the second song came on and immediately my brain was like 'Okay this is what they look like'. Also chose the name because it was when I was first realizing my identity/going through a real rough home situation, and it seemed like a push towards healing.

 

[wafflepan]

he actually

[The Cospunk Prince]

he actually View attachment 40622 needs a name! any ideas? he's a blacksmith^^

I don't know why but the name Asher comes to mind

 

[Caaz]

When I was younger, I used to play Castle of the Winds.

Me in Internet: Castle
→ Caztle (Because the username Castle wasn't available anywhere)
→ Caaztle (Because Caztle was taken up on so many sites)
→ Caaz (Because the short version sounds better, actually the long version is Caztle and not Caaztle, but for registering I use Caaz)

Surname: Wolfschädel (Wolf Skull in german)

 

[SabreMutt]

My hybrid fursona (who currently has the most art) is named Star Sabremutt.

Sabremutt because I needed a username and this doubles as my fursona's original species name and also functions as a 'last name' in social situations.

It wasn't currently in use anywhere so I was free to join FA, DA, Twitter etc with one name for simplicity. Basically I love sabertooth creatures as well as hybrids so I combined that into a name.

Her first name is Star, not only because of her star-shaped markings but I also like the connotations of galaxy, fame, etcetera.

 

[Thefreemasons]

Since i'm new here, I've been recently working on my first fursona. IRL i'm into coding and video games, so I created a cyborg wolf character. His name is Gizmo right now, but it could change in the future. I personally feel like Gizmo is a good name for a playful cyborg wolf.

 

[Greenver_420]

Mine is by putting the primary colour of my sona Green into the name of one of the inspirations for my character Silver the Hedgehog, Greenver & the 420 is from the date 4/20 because of the Cannabis reference in their design. So that is how I came up with the name Greenver_420.

 

[Zezel]

Mine is named after the shortened version of my online name, and it fit well with them i have found.

 

[ScotTheHyena_615]

I went to a random name generator and used the first name for it and the last name was just a random last name I came up with

 

[MetroFox2]

Was origionally my tribal DnD kitsune ranger, it's Finnish for Antler, the surname was Far-Ranger, because of the whole ranger thing. I just thought Sakara had a good ring to it, and it still fit the sona's character and setting, and so I kept it for my fursona.

 

[motty4206969]

its based off my real name

 

[Rosie Paws]

Used my middle name and added some to it.
