lupestripeRecently, I have been thinking about the creative process behind choosing names for our fursonas.
Lupestripe came in the back end of 2006, when I first joined the Fandom. The weekend before I joined, I attended a little university reunion to celebrate Christmas and a friend of mine (who is not a fur) was talking about how he would like to buy a badger suit and go under the name "Earthstripe" (for what reason I don't know but it is a dream of is anyway).
The Tuesday after this, I joined the Fandom. My original moniker was Packwolf. I had had this since April 2004 but I thought that this was too generic and a quick Google search highlighted that this name was quite common in the Fandom. I wanted something a little more unique.
It had taken me six years to get to this stage of joining the Fandom so waiting on the log in screen for IRC, I wasn't going to surrender all that courage and give up just because I couldn't think of a name for my fursona.
Remembering back to my friend, I decided to take the word "stripe" and as I am a wolf, I decided to stick the word "lupe" in front of it to form Lupestripe. Ten minutes into my first IRC session, I quickly worked out why there were few people with the word "lupe" in their names as it was easily bastardised to "lube", in my case to form Lubestripe. By that point though, I had already made an impression and it stuck.
I am not too sure whether I am 100% happy with my name but it's not too bad so I'll probably just stick with it lols.
Where did your name come from?
