Would you change your name?

in life •  7 years ago 

There have been a few challenges out there about names.

Its history, if you could change it would you, and I wanted to explore that challenge. I ended up missing the deadline for yet another challenge...

Yet, here I am still writing about it because I recently spoke to some friends that mention their online usernames. They are SOO random! Where does your real or online name come from? Most people ask about your Steemit name, but I wonder about your real name too. You see my online bestie, choogirl.

She loves Jimmy Choo and is a bada$$.

The name is obvious. My real life bestie, practicallyapro. She loves starting projects and learns practically everything about each project. You see, she is practically a pro at everything. See, what She did there, BRILLIANT! Before Steemit, my name was and is my favorite. I mean it's a really wonderful name. So good, I cannot wait to name my firstborn kind of appreciation and love for my name.

Thank you, mama!

Before Steemit, before my best friend, my nickname was "flower". Only Brazilians called me that since it was only said in Portuguese. Then I joined a blogging site and had to select a nickname. I didn't realize people made up crazy names that have nothing to do with their real name. When I wrote my real intro post called, my friends call me, Kubby I explain why I choose the name I have now.

The best name mind you.

I wouldn't change it.

My mom makes fun of it and most people think my real name is Elizabeth. It is not people, it is KUBBY! Pronounced cubie, like the bear and similar to the storage square. I just realized my sibling and I all have two nicknames. One in English and another in Portuguese. I also have a favorite last name. I really like the Brazilian family name Nacimiento. Do you have a favorite last name? That might just be me.

Would you change your name?

I wouldn't, it is short and sweet like me.

I have known many to change their name just to change it back and others just waiting for the opportunity and never looking back. Others have grown into their Steemit username. So, to answer your question @yidneth No. I wouldn't change my name.

Well there is a thing in our family , when a baby is born , one name is given by the maternal family and other by the paternal side , later on when the the child starts going to school and stuff , he gets to chose among the two for official documents and stuff , My Maternal side gave me the Name - Ashish , the name by still my mom calls me and Paternal side gave me - Ayush . Probably Something hit my head , when I was making a choice , so I chose Ayush but if I ever get a chance I would love to go back to Ashish.
So changing Name ? NO
Changing Choice ? BIG YES

Side Note - Both mean the same thing - Blessing

That’s a cool story. Why would you choose the other name? I like the one you picked!

It never occurred to me not to use my name. How would people know me if I didn't??

Oh, yeah...

I loved the name Kubby the minute I saw it in discord. Reminds me of someone happy and sweet, sort of like you. ;)

Wow I just bounced your tip like a deadbeat! Boo!!!

So your nickname was Flor?? So cute! I love your real name and I think Kubby is really cool! Win win for you😉 I chose @naturald because my plan was to talk about ‘Natural Products’ but after meeting the Brazilian Community, the subjects got amplified. I also love my Brazilian Last Name: Miranda! Happy Sunday my Friend😘

Yes, it’s flor 💜 I like your steemit name and your business is going to be a huge success

Sounds like a cook name keep... cannot recall I asked but I loved the story about it... :) I confess I'm happier with my nickname, which I wouldn't change, but I still use my real name :)

Both great names for sure!

I will forever love my name cause it's my birth name but my friends do call me kidda seems to be weird, lol.

Sounds like a good name :D

I liked how when my bikini arrived the sender on the front (and in the email they sent me) was Kubby Elizabeth.

💜 that’s the secret of them arriving

Most of my other online names are Dizzy Dawg.
My real name is Darryl and most little kids cant pronounce it. So instead of Dawo... I would have them call me Dizzy. Obviously Dizzy was almost impossible to get when signing up for new accounts, so in the suggestions it gave on one of the sites DizzyDawg came up and it stuck.

When I started my Steemit account I picked something that meant more to me. Dadview speaks to how my outlook on life has changed after becoming a father. I love blogging about my son and my family stories.

Hahah Dizzy dad swag, try that next time! :)

aw man.... I like Dizzy Dad..... Now you got my double guessing my name choice! Damn you Kubby!

Hi @kubbyelizabeth! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @dswigle!

@tipU is looking for SP delegators: pays out 100% of profit to all investors - more info here.

Flower would be a decent name as well but only if you took photos of flowers. That is quite an interesting nick name.

I’ve always liked kubby. Mostly when I was younger my friends and I had a blast in this one game where we camped an area called cubby or least that is what we called it. Spent so many weeks there just having a blast with friending getting xp and loot! Everyone was always trying steal our camp lol.

Bahahaha. Cubby wars

Yooooooo!

Let me try that Tip! again!
