Sure they can. Mine is just variation of the traditional furry fandom [adjective][species] username. Plenty of furry writers have much cooler names than me.

I'll leave figuring out which species as an exercise for the reader. Hint: highly-gregarious African canid with the same initials as All-Wheel Drive.

Ooooh.

Lycaon! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_wild_dog

For reference, I was pronouncing it "kay-oh-deli-kay-on", as one really cool word. :p

Kayodé Lycaon

QUÉ-oh-deh LIE-kay-on :)

Kayodé is the approximate spelling from the syllables. I was playing around with sounds for a constructed language and ended up with combination I liked.
