The last obstacle is picking a name.
We've been brainstorming and have come up with several. Some are self-descriptive, but a couple are more mysterious. So, short and sweet, we're interested in opinions and impressions. One is a front-runner already, but these are the contenders.
Well,
Here I am. uncle-dan. My vision sucks therefore my typing.
Uncle-Dan did seem the most logical choice to tie it in with Aunt-Deb. 28 years of marriage will do that.
Considering we have no children Tinkers-Dad was a good choice. She's our dog. A lhasa apso. 50 pounds of crazy in a 22 pound dog.
I once had sea monkeys. Deb killed them inadvertently
They were all named Rusty. Long story.
Just Dan? Go figure. My name is Dan.
As for Two Cents. I am a numismatist . I specialize in U.S. Two Cent pieces minted from 1864-1873.
Toe Blake. Yes. I do LOVE hockey. Played when I was younger and have all my teeth. Not pretty teeth but mine.
Watch the movie Slapshot some time. Toe Blake, Eddie Shore. Old time hockey when people really beat the crap out of one another.
As for Prince Suvanafuma. Rocky and Bullwinkle at Wassomatta U. Classic stuff and a very obscure line.
So. I'm dating myself somewhat. I am certainly not Aunt Deb. Has made our life quite interesting.
I have a few ideas on what to share with all of you and would love to hear your thoughts and experiences as well.

Welcome! My second prime is approaching rapidly too. Us oldies have got more wisdom to share, right? And I'm not the oldest by a long shot. You might want to say hello to @richq11, @len.george, @ijavee and I'm sure there are lots of others I've forgotten.

I watched Slapshot on amazon about a year ago. I really enjoyed it, but I think its a sign of the times in that theyd never make a sports movie like that today cause things are unfortunately too PC now.

Uncle-dan or just-dan! Yay! Glad to see your hubby joining. My husband is still learning the ropes and it's fun seeing him get acclimated to the place. Hope your husband has an easy time learning the ropes.

I think he's going to have fun once he gets comfortable. Your hubby is doing great! As a matter of fact, having other married folks on here made the decision to join easier. (Just fyi, I used y'all as an example.) Thanks for the support and encouragement, too. It does help!

Thank you @aunt-deb! And I also like "uncle-dan". I am glad to see him joining and am willing to help him in any way I can being that Im still new to this as well. I dont think I would have ever found out about steemit if not for @marxrab, and I would definitely be lost on here without her explaining how everything works. I am enjoying it though so Im so glad to have her help. I think your husband will end up being glad he joined too.

I'll pass all that along and thanks for the support! It's nice to know the experienced folks are there to show the new folks the ropes. It's like trying to take a sip from a firehose - at first. Lol! After a bit a practice, though, the repetition soaks in and y'all are off and running. And, I agree, I think he's going to like it here, too!

Thanks! That seems to be a popular choice!
Toe Blake was a huge influence as a hockey player & later coach in the 1930's & 40's. The movie Slapshot makes reference to him. Slapshot is, arguably, the most authentic hockey movie ever made & is considered a classic.

uncle-dan seems to coordinate well with aunt-deb, keeping the trend going. But toe-blake is intriguing.

Excellent news - did the coins do it?
I'd go Uncle-Dan.... or even UncleDanTheCoinMan 😊

The coins certainly helped! Thanks for the links. I forwarded them to him to look over. Not sure if he's done that yet.
Yeah, uncle-dan is the logical choice. UncleDanTheCoinMan was mentioned, I think, when we were brainstorming. I was afraid it was too many characters, but I could be wrong... ;~D

Yes UncleDanTheCoinMan is a bit long unfortunately. Maybe just DanTheCoin - but not quite so good!
