A fursona is the animal character you make to represent yourself in the furry fandom, and its name is usually the one other furries know you by. This fursona name generator suggests names that suit your species, with a species description or a matching surname if you'd like one.
What a fursona is
A fursona is the animal character a furry creates to represent themselves: fur and persona, joined.
- The fandom grew from science fiction conventions in the 1980s; ConFurence, in California in 1989, is usually counted as the first furry convention.
- Today there are conventions around the world, from Anthrocon in Pittsburgh to Confuzzled in the UK.
- The name is often the one other furries know you by, online and at cons, so it's worth taking time over.
Choosing a fursona name
- Start with your species: wolves, foxes and dogs are the most popular, but the generator also does cats, dragons, rabbits, deer, birds, raccoons and sharks. Each has a few names of its own.
- Add a species to describe your character: Ginger, a marble fox.
- Add a surname made from fur, tails and paws: Leo Brightclaw, Zephyr Mistmeadow.
- Make it yours: a fursona is personal, so change a letter, mix two names, or keep the one that feels right. Famous furry characters are left out.
