The Steemit Name Challenge
Dear Steemians,
So, here is another challenge which is doing the rounds and it is related to the name we use on Steemit, it might our real name or it might be some name which doesn't mean your real name, just like in my case, @coolguy123.
This challenge was initiated by @felobtc in his post and I was nominated to this by my long time Steemit friend @c0ff33a in this blog, which is a wonderful one with his explanation of why he is using that name.
So, what's the reason behind me using my Steemit name @coolguy123? Here it is..
During my college days, I had so many wonderful friends and one of my friends always use to use the word cool whenever he wants to respond to something whether you are explaining something to him or you have suggested something.
So, that was on my mind always and when I felt I need to have an additional gmail account, I started thinking about the user names and suddenly I remembered the word cool from what my friend use to tell and started checking user name coolguy. I was told that that name is already used and instead gmail team gave a few suggestions including coolguy123 and I felt, it's so cool!!! and let's use that.
So, that's how I initially started using that and later when I have to register on some website, I started using that user name and the same continued on Steemit as well.
So, that's about how my Steemit name got constructed. Now aren't you interested to know my real name? Well, I have to tell that as part of this challenge!!
As some of you already know, my name is Raghavendra H, which is available on most of the social blogging websites as well as on the technology sites I am part of.
What if I wouldn't have got the user name coolguy123? I would have been happy to use techieguy (or may be techieguy123 as there is always a possibility of techieguy might have been used by someone!!) and the reason for this is very simple, I am from technical development background as a Software Developer and hence I feel that is a COOL name ;)
So, as I mentioned in the beginning of this blog, I was nominated to this name challenge by @c0ff33a in his blog and the rules set by the person who started this challenge @felobtc are as below and it's really fun to work on these kind of blogs.
- 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
Now, as part of the last rule, I have to nominate 5 of my fellow Steemians and here goes my nominations. I would love to know about names of @abh12345, @earthmother, @carey-page, @hitmeasap and @beeyou.
Thanks guys, it's fun and I hope you enjoyed reading this.
Hello Raghavendra this is a cool post :) I am happy to be your freind in here :) and learning more for you make the connection even better. I wish you all the best on this platform @coolguy123 .
Thank you my friend, @mihail.tsvetkov, I am always happy to read your comments and happy to have those discussions with you.
Have a good day :)
I was always intrigued as to how you came to have this account name, it turns out the tale behind it is a very good one! Fascinating it brings together your memories from College and the Gmail account name suggestion! I'm very pleased to have met you Raghavendra , although we have in many ways moved on to our own circles on here - the time we spent as we started out will always be my fondest memories and I will always try to keep up with you however big the demands on my time grow.

Yeah, it's because of my friend and that incident in gmail. When we like something, we try to use that again and again whether it's a favorite shirt or a favorite user name. :)
It's been a nice journey for both of us, although you have moved way forward in terms of SP, but there is always a place in me on your blogs and the memories we had as members of #stewardsofgondor, those were some of the best days of my Steemit life.
Thanks for everything and these challenges are an opportunity to keep interacting with our friends.
Have a great Saturday and a great weekend my friend :)
I wondered how you choose that name. It is really neat to learn more about our friends. Thanks so much for sharing. This is a fascinating challenge reading the blogs will be very interesting.
lol, yeah, this is something cool for me. Yeah, exploring on our friends is always nice.
I am happy to nominate you to this as I feel there might be something behind your name as well.
Thanks for the nomination. This is one challenge that I am not sure I can do. There is nothing behind my name at all. I will think on it though
Oh, I wasn't sure whether it's your real name or there is some reason behind that. You can try writing a blog about that, if you can. Thanks anyway for explaining this :)
A cool post for a cool guy like you. 😁👍
Thank you @yanzel4lyf :) for the appreciation. It's always nice to see comments from cool Steemians like you.
Thanks for visiting, have a good day :)
your most welcome! 😃
Very interesting .sounds great.
Thank you @steemitjean, great to have you back on my blogs.
This challenge is really fun. I thought your real name is cool ... 😜
lol, yeah, it's fin, so many challenges are going on Steemit right now.
I guess I have no business in this challenge (or I'm a winner from the beginning 😂😂) because I use my real name but I just liked to greet you for this innovative name
That's ok my friend, nice to know about new guys. :)
Thanks for the appreciation, these challenges are giving us an opportunity to interact and try to write something new.
Have a good day :)
