@seablue responded to the challenge today from @battleaxe to talk about the origins of our usernames.

This started in @thealliance, I will likely nominate some outside the alliance to spread the love.

The Rules:

• Tell us in your post how you chose the current Steemit username you have, the story behind it.
• Tell us your real name!
• If you could change your current Steemit username, which name would you choose and why? If you have a possible usernames list, mention it!* Use the tag #steemitnamechallenge so that I can track all the posts and check them out
• Nominate 5 people for this challenge

The Response:

There isn’t much of a story behind my username. Shadows is something that has been part of my online personna for sometime starting with a now dormant news commentary blog called Out of the Shadows.

When I decided that I was going to pursue writing, I created the concept of Shadows Publishing as a future ‘publisher’ if I self-published. Then I met up with STEEM and that became @shadowspub

Well, if I wanted to tell my real name — I wouldn’t need @shadowspub.

If I could change my name, I wouldn’t. I’m good with this one. I’ve managed not to get it flagged into oblivion or attached to any scammy behaviour. I do have some other names and will choose if and/or when I want them known.

Now for the next victims:

• @artemisnorth
• @dbzfan4awhile
• @gmuxx
• @guiltyparties
• @whatsup

Have fun and play along.

Until Next Time — Just Steem on
