How Did You Come Up With Your Read.Cash Username?

Okay, so I know the title may have been a little weird (pardon me), but today I was just looking at some replies in my article when I noticed something that had literally been staring at me for the past few months. @Leo_kitti's username! Sure, I'd been seeing it a lot, but for the first time, I actually looked at it. And then thought, "what motivated her to use this username?" Because yeah, it's pretty unique, and it really gives off this imposing 'statement' vibe as you look at it. Leo_Kitti. And then, of course, I let the wheels in my head roll a bit. A leopard is a big cat, it does belong to the cat family. So what did I think she was trying to pass? She might be a cat person She can be fierce as a leopard or cute (as some people say) and gentle as a cat. Or she can be everything in between as well. As I kept on drafting my hypotheses, of which I was sure about 99.99% wasn't correct, I began to think about other usernames I'd seen. I didn't want to invade anyone's privacy by asking about it, but **come on**, at least someone else must have asked these questions too. @Hanzellis this a nickname or your real name? It sounds so damn cool, to be honest; If I ever decided to have a family, I'll def. name my kid that. Makes you sound like an ice princess from a mystical land. @Eybyoung come on, you should know that your name MUST make it to this list. I know a little about you from your personal posts, ut nothing about this name. Is it an old high school or college nickname? Is it from a mix of old nicknames? Was it your old 2go handle (I know, even I cringe when I remember that app and the crazy usernames). @wakeupkitty don't act so surprised. Yours was actually the first I thought about back during the Freewriting Contest. Then I saw #KittyWu and then I thought, oh wow, that's a rad name, and she's probably Chinese. Then I found out you stay in the Netherlands and that didn't add up - plus my slow brain finally saw KittyWu was just wakeupkitty 😢. And the name is so unique - is her name kitty and she's motivating herself to wake up and do what she's gotta do? Is there something else? The suspense is killing me!!! @kat2x what's the deal? Two times the cat person? kat plus two kisses? I don't get 😭. Please explain. @Paganprincess well you shouldn't express any surprise to be on this list. You shouldn't at all. Your name sounds really badass, to be honest, I mean, Paganprincess... you definitely do not see something like that every day, not even every blue moon. What's your secret? Well, my username really doesn't have any story. My real name is Ozioma, which means Good News in my native language, and yeah, the name was supposed to be 'Good News' to me, except that it is a predominantly male name over here. You can imagine how I felt when I told someone my name and they asked, "isn't that a girl's name? I'm sure you weren't consulted before they gave you that name. Did your Grandma name you? (Yes she did 😭). And then guys would slide into my dm on Facebook and Whatsapp and be like 'Hey babe', bruh look at my Profile Pic, I'm a guy! What's wrong with you. I had to do something, so I settled for Ozzy. Now only my parents and a few coconut heads (who will just not listen) call me Ozioma. I'm known as Ozzy almost everywhere, or Uzi by the guys. So when I came to read.cash, I intended on using that name again. But it was already in use, or so they told me. I had to add an extra 'y' 😭, but then most of you still call me Ozzy when you're not tagging me, so mission accomplished. I haven't seen anyone with that Ozzy username though, and it doesn't show up in the tags. Nice move, Read.Cash, nice move indeed. So what stories have you all got? Please do tell, so this restless mind can be at peace! 😂 And if I didn't mention your name here, still tell me how you got yours. @gertu13 yeah you're in this too, what secret do you hide in that name?
