What is the story behind your Steemit Name?steemCreated with Sketch.

in #story8 years ago

We all have a story behind the usernames we choose to identify & represent us on Social Media sites
It is a username which has just as much relevance online as your actual real name has in everyday life
It gives you a purpose & a meaning.
Shows you represent something

I am curious to know what the story behind your Steemit name is?

My name "ghostwriter82"
82 at the end is because of the year I was born

On wiki says "A ghostwriter is a person who is hired to author books, manuscripts, screenplays, speeches, articles, songs, blog posts, stories, reports, white papers, or other texts that are officially credited to another person"

Actually I got the name from a Children TV Show I used to watch called Ghostwriter. As I got older, every time I would hear or read the word Ghostwriter, I would automatically think of the TV Show. The name just stuck with me

Also another reason for the name is,
Because I can be quite shy & at times I was a very non social able person,(Still am at times) because I did not know how to interactive with people
Thought everyone in the world hated me
I would feel invisible & basically like a ghost

I would love to hear your stories on how your chose your SteemIt name :)

Sort:  

Very simple and unimaginative. My name's Deb and I'm a Kiwi (ie from New Zealand)

Great question. Mine is the abbreviation of a website that I own.

Sounds good
What is the site you own?

mine is because a find that al we are geeks in something, and my name is Efrain

Yes I feel the term geek is misused
We are all geeks :)

liberosis
n. the desire to care less about things—to loosen your grip on your life, to stop glancing behind you every few steps, afraid that someone will snatch it from you before you reach the end zone—rather to hold your life loosely and playfully, like a volleyball, keeping it in the air, with only quick fleeting interventions, bouncing freely in the hands of trusted friends, always in play.

I chose my username @shortcut because it sums up my job as a video editor: It has either the meaning of doing fast and short edits [which I like], using keyboard shortcuts [which I do a lot] as well as taking a shortcut [finding easy solutions].

Mine is a combination of two most common first and last names on the planet :)

I've seen this article a few times - including from myself many moons ago ;) @mindhunter is the name of my favourite book on an FBI profiler ... I'll let you investigate the rest :)

My nickname is because I wanted to be a mod on a site and thought what's best than a wise hammer to kick out bad people from chats?

I said this in my introduction post:

I'm not sure why I chose personz as my username. Maybe it's because I'm interested in things that affect us all, as a society. Or maybe it's the ambiguity - Person Z, the unnamed one. I'm certainly going to keep my identity here for here. Privacy is important to me.

Still true 😆 😜 😎
