"Furball" is easily associated with [i]*a[/i]* site, not with this site in particular. It can be also asociated with what one of the furry pet (cat or dog) coughed out. Not something I'd ever want to associate this site with.
And for Astra -- it's a name. A proper name that would associate the character with [i]*this[/i]* site specifically. How man people associate the character Fender with anyhing else but Furaffinity?
