RE: Cupid Zero - What's In A Name? - Steemit Name Challenge
My name doesn't need a full post. :P It's made up of two parts, combined, much like your own. It developed out of gaming, as most gamer's online names are:
holo = a shortened version of "holocaust", as in Nuclear Holocaust; the destruction of all life. I am also happy with this shortening to be as in 'hologram', or holographic, playing with the immateriality of light, and the way in which we observe it.
z0r = added to the end of 'holo' as a right of digital passage for an old gaming community I used to be a member of, and acts like a clan tag, almost.
I haven't spoken to any of those people in 10+ years though.
There's the secrets, unlocked.
I'm also really honoured by the fact that I'm considered "a pretty big name" around these parts!
I kind of got the 'Holo' part. It is interesting how many of the name challenges I have read have had something to do with the gaming community, even @diabolika who nominated me. I myself played with the idea of a few old characters' names from tabletop RPGs and MMORPGs I used to play, but Cupid Zero was too good to pass up. Thanks for the reply!
