Rukis posted an interesting pic the other day if you may or may not have seen it. This pic is actually a rare one which brought up the question, “how many of these does she paint?”. I mean let’s consider most furry art is MOSTLY all male and male on male action. Rukis’s answer was “probably only a few” in reference to the female drawing. So I display this proudly to show there is female things in the fandom, stand proud furries, stand proud! I do mean it too, Rukis draws great… if you have a penis make it stand proud >:/

Dear Readers,

Since Papabear's in basket is empty once more (hint hint), I thought I would write on a subject that recently had some debate on this site: furry names. There was a recent letter from a furry who was concerned about his name being unoriginal, and, outside this site, I have occasionally chatted with furs who have been having difficulty coming up with a name for their fursonas or, sometimes, for stories they are writing.

So, how does one come up with a cool name?

When I was thinking of a name for my alter ego, Grubbs Grizzly, I wanted something unique. I started with the last name, which was kind of a given and not too original, but I wanted to be clear about my species--so, Grizzly it was. But what of the first name? I didn't want to be known only as Grizzly or Mr. Grizzly or maybe Brer Grizz.

I next thought about my fursona. Who was he? Well, he was a very laid-back bear, as most bears are. He was inspired by Disney's "The Country Bears," but I didn't want him to be a rip-off of those characters. Nor did I want him to be Baloo, though I love Baloo and Grubbs has a rather Baloo-ish personality. So I thought more about the character. I pictured him in kind of dirty, worn-out denim overalls (looking back, I guess overalls on bears are kind of cliche, too, oh well, I like 'em). I started thinking of names that describe that, and "grubby" popped into my head, which evolved into "Grubs" and then "Grubbs" with 2 b's. I'm not sure how that got in my grey matter, but it must have been subconscious because later I came across some people in my research with the name Grubbs as a last name. Anyway, I liked the name because it was both descriptive and alliterative, and being a writer, I have a fondness for occasional alliteration or assonance, with maybe a little onomatopoeia thrown in.

When it comes to fiction, I often adopt character names from history, pop culture, and literary sources such as Greek and Roman mythology.  In my novel, The Steel of Enadia, the main protagonist is named Jann after Janus, the god of beginnings and transitions because his character is key to a major upheaval in his world. Brodi, Jann's companion, comes from a slang term meaning several things, including "accident," "taking a chance," and "to steal." All of which have some relevance to the character. Speritus, Jann's wizard mentor, is a bastardization of the word "inspiration," because that is what he does for Jann.

I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

Back to fursonas. Selecting a name can be a very personal thing for some, but for others it really is just something for fun and is not that serious. For the former crowd, I suggest you really get in touch with your alter ego, envisioning who that person really is, what his/her traits are, both physical and emotional. If you reflect on those things long enough, often an appropriate name will come to mind. 

You can also think about your heritage when coming up with a name and draw on your family's culture to find an appropriate handle, whether that may be Asian or African or Native American or European or whatever, there is a lot you can draw on. For instance, a bear friend of mine has a Scottish background. I suggested the name "Mathan," which is Gaelic for bear. Or, say you are a cheetah and your roots go back to Swahili culture.... you could adopt the name Mwepesi, which means "swift." Or you are Chinese and you have a sweet personality, your name could be 甜.

The possibilities are endless. You have thousands of years of history and culture to draw upon, not to mention the spiritual world and your own inner world.

Have fun with it. Be creative! A good name will literally last you a lifetime :-3

Hugs,
Papabear

This week on KnotCast, Fuzz and Savrin catch up from over the holidays. Shiva has a case of boneitis, but will be back next week hopefully. As a bonus, here is the XXXMas Poem from last episode. Twas the night before Christmas and all through the manse Not a subbie was stirring; they hadn’t a chance Some girls up on crosses, some crossies in stocks And a few lucky bois strung up by their cocks The masos were nestled all snug in vac-beds While visions of Mistresses danced in their heads And my submissive in lace and me in my kilt Had wrapped all the pressies in ribbon and gilt When out on the lawn there arose such a ruckus It drowned out the chorus of “Master, please fuck us” Away to the door, I strolled with a rum Past tits swelling purple and the occasional bum The moon on the breasts of a particular whore Shone light everywhere as I came to the door When what to my wandering hands, I mean eyes, should appear But eight reindeer furries, all holding a beer And a fat bloke in rubber, who looked a right dick I knew in a moment it must be St Nick His pants were red latex, his coat was the same He pulled out a crop and addressed them by name Now, cumsponge! Now, harlot! Now kajira and slave! On, angel! On missy! On tgirl and knave! From the tip of my cock to the hair on each ball Now kiss away, lick away, suck away all! He grinned and he laughed as they fought over his fly Then grunting and sweating, he looked up at the sky And to the top of the house old St Nicholas blew Furries and beers and all the toys too And then, in a twinkling, I heard through the ceiling Prancing and pawing and screaming and squealing As I drank down my rum, and was turning around Out of the chimney he came with a bound He was still dressed in latex from his head to his foot And was cursing his beer which was half-full of soot He had a girl on his cock, who was gasping for air And the gifts from his sack had spilled here and there Dildos and handcuffs and a cilice with spikes No doubt about it, he’s in tune with our likes Rope in all colours, and chain by the metre Two branding irons - with a gas-fired heater! He spoke not a word but went straight to his work And fucked all the sluts with a quick little jerk Then poking a finger up the nearest moist tart He leapt for the chimney and made to depart He grabbed hold of a whip, gave the furries a flick Sat one on his face and one on his dick But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight "Merry XXXmas to all, have a fucking good-night."
