Over the years that have followed, the name has been tweaked even further. I had originally kept Black Vulpine's full name to be 'Black "Dark Fox" Vulpine Renard', with Renard being the French word for fox. Since then, I discovered that 'Black' can be a shorthand for 'Blackburn', which I felt sounded even cooler than just 'Black'. Since then, Black Vulpine's full name has been 'Blackburn "Black Vulpine" Renard', with 'Black Vulpine' continuing to be the primary moniker for my alter ego up to this day.

While I have since learned that there is a music band with the same name, I have not been deterred from using this name, owing to the fact that US copyright law states that an infringement occurs where 'confusion is likely to result from the same name'. My argument is that this is not the case, given that Black Vulpine the band, and Black Vulpine the character are obviously two very different things. I have however changed both my Twitter and YouTube handle to 'Black Vulpine Fox' to assist with disambiguation, and improve discoverability slightly.
