What’s in a Name?
A name is how you identify yourself, and how others identify you. It can have a very strong impact on how you are perceived and how you act. In fact, humans are not the only creatures to identify each other by “names” – animals such as dolphins also use unique names to identify each other. Choosing a name can be incredibly difficult – whether or not it’s for a real person, a fictional person in a book, a pen name, or simply an alias. Perhaps one of the reasons it is so difficult is because it will be something that someone will carry with them their whole life. People look for names that have meanings special to themselves or their loved ones. Finding that perfect name means alot of research, and looking at the meanings of the name can help in this research.

@Brother Wolf: Great! I thought I am the only one with an animal spirit.
By considerably, my favorite is: She must be willing
to be as comfy in formal attire as she is in jeans as well as a baseball hat.
@she wolf: I’m envious of you guys who have that part of yourself as a separate inner spirit. It may be confusing at times, but at least you’re never alone.
@Lycanhope: Yeah. Especially when your the only child in the family.
