Way back when, in my hunt for an awesome name for a World of Warcraft character. I compounded bits and pieces from here and ther to create Fengathor, then when my girlfriend at the time introduced me to the furry community, it became the name I used for that as well. It's been my name on every forum, video game, and instant messenger ever since. The name's really become a part of me. It's commonly shortened to Feng, which is actually a chinese surname, and has a chinese symbol to represent it, and I'll actually be getting a tattoo of the Feng symbol in the near future
When I started running a number of years ago, my first real race was the Reach the Beach marathon - a 200 mile team marathon. I was the team captain, and so they made me a tag for my gear bag - "Captain Coupal". It stuck, because I tend to be the one in my circle of friends to organize teams, etc...
I enjoy reading how everyone got their names. It would be helpful if pronunciation was included for ones that are not quite so obvious.
Just me being me

I don't know which "Americans" you're talking about - here in KY we all pronounce it "Krayg"
Ah, fair enough, I just figured it was a U.S thing and not a dialect thing, maybe I'm wrong??
I've heard it repeatedly on games, t.v. and youtube, we also have a lot of people coming over from the U.S for the Edinburgh festival, when I meet someone, the dialogue has always went something like this...
"Hey, nice to meet you, I'm KRAYG"
"Nice to meet you KREG, I'm..."
Not trying to cause any offence here, just wondering where it came from?
Mine means "King Bold" and that is how it is pronounced. It is my family name but with the 15th century spelling and pronunciation.
