Crittenz

Crittenz

Tesla Star
Crittenz was actually chosen for me. My real name is Britteny, but I spell it differently from every other Britteny. So when my friends would try to put my name in a text message with T-mobil's old T9 (Predictive text) setting it would come up Crittenz and my friends being the lazy people they are just said. "Your name is now Crittenz" XD

Tesla Nova Star is my second Sona. She's a demon and I wanted a name that fit the personality. When I came up with it. I thought of tesla coils and a star gone supernova. Both beautiful, powerful, and lethal. <3

My newest Sona is Sergal named Kava Makashi. Kava I picked at random from a name generator cause it sounded nice and Makashi doesn't mean anything but it suits Kava. My mate came up with Makashi off the top of his head though a google search says the word has something to do with light sabers. Not anything intentional just "I liked it"

Another Sona is a black spirit wolf. Her name is Airyn Neoma. Airyn I got from a fan -fiction I read and I fell in love with the spelling of the name. Neoma is native american for Moon and I thought it fitting for a wolf.

There are all sorts of ways to come up with Sona names. If you're stuck try a random name generator. fantasynamegenerators.com: Fursona name generator <--- I got Kava from this one. http://www.rinkworks.com/namegen/ Rinkworks has a looot of name suggestions cause they usually combine certain consonants and vowel sounds. I like their Japanese sounding names the best.


Mine was based on an alternate gamertag I used. Synthex is honestly just short for Synthetic Ecstasy. I took the gamer tag from the song Frozen by Celldweller..... I just really liked the line.

It also fits because Synthex is an artificially made being, and so am I sorta. Test tube babies ftw.

I really like that song and you're right the name suits.
 
Kurrundo the light fox

Kurrundo the light fox

Ascended Kitsune
It was just a name that stuck with me I had wanted a variation of Kurando thus Kurrundo was born. However my spirit animal has always been a kitsune it just took me a very long time to figure her out. A ascended nine-tailed fox, who was blessed by the moon God Tsukiyomi to have light gold fur. Or at least that's what I had written down about her in 2008. I keep journals since I cannot draw my fursona as I see her. So I have to use the closest reference I have to what her color and initial body shape should be.
 
Piccolora

Piccolora

Like No One Ever Was
Tinn's (arctic fox) name was chosen because the name Tin is cute but add an extra 'n' to the end to make it look cool. Sirus (jackal) is Egyptian and so Sirus sounded cool for him. Kydex (dutch angel dragon) is named after the thermoplastic. Thermoplastics need high heat to mold them into something new and better. Kydex needs lots of love and TLC to make it into a better individual.
 
Jarren

Jarren

You can't just quote yourself! -Me
The name Jarren kept showing up in a D&D game I was in. He was always this rather nondescript historical figure in the world who seemed to have been responsible for a lot of significant events, often without meaning it. I asked the DM, a long time friend of mine, just who the guy was. He responded that he had no idea really, and most of the legends about him were gross exaggerations by the small folk of the world and the few veterans who had fought with him. Well, I figured I could snatch up the name and run with it. So I did.

My fursona's name, Jin, was from this guy :

Jin Kisaragi

I played the game a looot, most of the time just choosing him (for no apparent reason) and smashing buttons like crazy LOL
The name kinda began to stick with me over time, until it finally became my fursona's name when I was around 15 :p

Starbeak

Starbeak

Born in Space, endlessly exploring star-systems
:D

Mine has a special meaning to me, I didn't choose this name, it chose me. I had this dream one night that I was taking for a long journey by this celestial bird named "StarBeak" so ever since then I chose to honor his presence by putting some good ideas for his appearance. He had a few cosmetic differences like instead of purple hair he had dark blue hair covering his half-white-half light blue body, dark brown almost black talons and majestic clear-rainbow-like wings that spanned about 8 feet across. In this dream we became friends. So this dream was special to me and so was this fursona (=

:D

Easy enough, I used a slightly altered version of my screen name which I always use. It was now sweat off of my back :D

My fursona is named Echo. Originally it was something different ((which was Aella- meaning 'whirlwind', named after an Amazon in a Greek myth)), but I changed it after reading a short story where a character was named Echo. It just stuck after that, honestly, because I thought it fit my 'sona better.
 
Arck

Arck

Husky-fox (basic af)
My name is Arck
That's because my favorite name is Aaron and i like books from Rick Riordan so I combined those names and poof! Here i am

Cecila Spencer

Mad Scientist
How often does one encounter a woman named Spencer, first or last? As for Cecilia, well, it's just an interesting name. And, since it's decidedly feminine, it makes a good contrast with the more gender-neutral Spencer.

oh boy, well, mine has gone through a couple changes, she started out as "Tabbern" or "Tab" for short because I literally was thinking about creating new tabs and I liked how it sounded (kinda like tavern).
Then I decided I thought it was weird and I asked my best friend of the time what I should rename her, and she suggested "Kasia" and "Ewa" which I both liked, so Kasia stuck for a little while (and I still have a character named that, but it's not my fursona anymore). I don't know how she came up with those but they were beautiful.
then she and i stopped being friends and I changed my fursona drastically so i figured she needed a new name, and I chose "Quiver" and i don't really remember why? I think just cause it sounded good and I was sad and upset so I was thinking it was kind of dramatic and unique at the same time.
I don't think there's anything wrong with using your name. I didn't because I don't feel attached enough to my fursona, and I would feel kind of uncomfortable naming her after myself.

Okami The Wolf is my crazy half!
Mine came out of my head. I am always looking for new ways to spell words, and one of my favorite things ever are butterflies. I've used it as my name on many different occasions. This is not the name for my sona, as she is still a work in progress, but one day I know I will find her a name.

My fursona's name is Danni Taw.
I just took my middle name and gave it a weird spelling: Daniel is now Danni.
and Taw was taken from the Welsh word for quiet: tawel.
