Re: Tell us about your Username

Well the short, simple answer is, my favourite colour is blue, my favourite animal is the fox...plus I have a blue fox fursona.
It's a simple username but it does me nicely, since I can't really think of anything else. I guess I'm just not that imaginitive.

I'm actually very surprised how rare blue foxes are on the internet.
Seriously, I only recall ever meeting a small handful myself, and a lot of people tell me I'm the only blue fox they've ever met.

Re: Tell us about your Username

A really looong time ago... in the highest room... in the tallest tower... there lived a Princess named Fiona. But that has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with my username.

It was made when I first joined this here forum. I was shy, didn't really want to make an account, but couldn't stop repeating "Just go for it!" in my head. I repeated it so many times that it sounded like a username. It also has a "fur" like sound in it, and that seemed good enough. Even though I didn't think about that until now. But yes. That was unconsciously intentional. Probably. The nickname that arose from it is also "Go", which is short and simple. It's also a really good song by Andy Hunter. And I like cars (not trains), so I actually like to, you know, go. I don't particularly dislike my given name, but I like nicknames/usernames a lot. To me, it seems more personal, because it's a product of context. I'm actually irked by people who call me by name... normally because that's a way of signalling "I NEED YOUR ATTENTION NOW YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE AGAIN".

Does anyone remember the epic Disney show, Kim Possible?
There was one episode where there was a new fad, being a colored animal personality test. As a result, they would find out who they're "compatible" with.
Kim was a blue fox.
I don't know how I never noticed that when I saw your name!
Ron the sidekick was a pink sloth, and I remember Kim and Ron finally ended up getting together in the final episode.

Do you know any pink sloths you could be compatible with? :lol:

I haven't really watched any kim possible episodes...I remember catching bits and peices when channel hopping seeing what's on, but no full episodes.

No I don't know any pink sloths at all. :/ I think the closest I got is a rather lazy purple ocelot...and she's already taken. :/

I do remrmber another show from my childhood that had blue foxes in it in the second season.
Anybody remember, perhaps, The Animals Of Farthing Wood?

Nothing, I'm just re-iterating how surprisingly rare blue foxes are. You know only 3 blue foxes out of probably many dozens of furries you've met over the years. Just sayin'

Yes!
I found it a few years ago and really enjoyed seasons 1 and 2.
BOOOOOOOOOOLD!!! :cry:

So... I apparently haven't told my name's origin. :?
Obbl is a name I made up in 5th grade for a game my friend was making. They were my favorite little critters, so the name has always stuck with me :D

It's probably more like hundreds than dozens. But that isn't really saying much. How many blue wolves do you know, for example?

It has yet to become an external combustion engine, actually! Though, the tailpipe used to shoot flames... I fixed it by removing some emissions devices that were pumping raw fuel into the exhaust. ^.^

I actually have a question about that... how is Obbl pronounced? Is it kind of like "oh-bell" or "aah-bull", as in the words "opel" or "gobble"? Cool name nonetheless!

You know, I never once cried for any of my real life grandparents' deaths but Bold's death never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

We're not mentioning Season 3 except for the fact that Season 3 ssssuuuuuuuuuuuuu...*one eternity later*...uuuucks.

I wish somebody re-did the show, only this time including EVERYTHING in the books...

Yeah, good point. I actually already realized by myself those two posts were a bit dumb on my part...there wasn't really any need to say anything.

Re: Tell us about your Username

It's okay dude, we all do silly things every now and then :)

Anyway, my username. It started off as bolmedias which was a misspelling of part of the name of a card from Duel Masters (a moderately-to-slightly popular TCG; think Magic for kids). Once I'd realised I'd misspelled it, I just kept running with it. I used this nickname for a couple of years, but it increasingly became obvious that people couldn't pronounce it easily, so around the time when I joined the fandom., I shortened it to Bolly. That then becamse both my username/nickname, and also my fursona's name.

Before this I had Necrid (From Soul Calibur)
Later I altered Necrid into Necrith / Necrath for a more original name, but it was time for something new.

I started Googling with names and kept altering parts till Google's search result din't show anything.
It went from Zavantia to what it is now, Kyderra

To this day if you Google my name, about 99% is related to me. I have yet to find anything that's not

Well, I was playing runescape when I was like 6-7 years old, and had a stupid name along the lines of Darkprince2341 or something, and then couldn't play for a little while, so I forgot the numbers in my username. So after that I tried to find a username without numbers and tried all manners of original things like Sonic and Chris and stuff. So, after trying a lot of really original and clever names that I don't get how others could have come up with I just got annoyed and typed in Craazyy with extra vowels for exaggeration and the game said "That name is not available, what about Craazyy1?"(since you had to have a number) so I went with it.

My name is simple enough. I have a rare shade of red hair. It is dark, but shines like copper in the light. I picked copper simply because of my wonderful ginger locks of spun copper. Not sure what else to say about it, heh.

Might as well explain mine. I was looking up Sonic the Hedgehog pics on Deviantart and I saw some drawn by Hyperchaotix. I thought the name was really cool, so I decided to change it a bit and I came up with hypernovatic. Yeah, I know I copied an idea, but I don't care. That and I am really hyper a lot.
