The “why” of your nickname?

Greetings my reader friends, today is September 1st. Yesterday I was disconnected. I had an encounter with a strong virus that trapped me in bed with chills, fever and a headache, but lots of fluids, scans and today I’m back with you as usual, ready to write.

When I started participating in these platforms I had no idea how to go about it. Unlike many people who have many years participating in them I didn’t know anyone who was involved in these tasks.

Something that happens to me is that I always put my name. I didn't know that in the internet we could put different names for our own protection, but still I never put names far away from my real one.

I am not a wealthy person. I don't keep millions. I’m a single mother taking care of her only child for 21 years and we only have what we need, we have no luxuries. Although many people around me think we do, maybe because we always buy gas, we have two water tanks that cover our water shortages for 5 days in a row and that is long enough to wait until the water is sent through the pipelines.

We have many plants that help us in harvest time and I always have the imagination to make and sell products from my harvest such as jams and marmalades.

Although I was out of work for 3 years, I never lacked the imagination to earn money. Then in the Steemit and Hive platforms I was working hard and yes, I can't deny that they helped me a lot. Now I only participate in Steemit from time to time, since my connection is very bad and when it comes to it I prefer to come here first, to read.cash, and after I'm done I can move on to Steemit.

But let’s get back on my topic for today, I want to focus on the name or pseudonym we use here. When my son made me an account for read.cash we didn't know how to do it properly, but he did it anyways. My son is the IT guy at home and he is the one who handles a lot of the technology for me.

He entered the required data for me and the page ended up putting “gertu13” because those are the first letters in my email address. My name is Gertudis and in the networks I go by “gertu”, but in here, they copied the first part of the email. Basically, in other platforms my username is the same, with the exception of read.cash.

Now I wish my reader friends could tell me how and from where they got their usernames. I see that many use their real names on this site, but there are many who use words, phrases and compound names. I would like to read in the comments where they got their names from and why they liked it.

Is it the same that they use on other platforms or is it different like mine? Or maybe they are not on other platforms but I would still like to know where their user pseudonym comes from.

It’s just my simple curiosity at play. I would like to know so that we can make some nice conversations between in the comments with each other. To have a nice time between our comments.

If you agree, you can do it and if not, then I invite you to comment and move on.

Life is good, the moments of joy must be taken advantage of because the moments of sadness always come, and those of worry as well. So my dear friends, let's try to be as happy as we can.

Let's write with passion, with freedom, with participation and with gratitude.

I thank all my dear followers, my apologies for the poor readings I gave these last days, thanks to causes beyond my control.

I also wish to thank my sponsors, thanks to the new sponsors who are adding me to their portfolio, to @ARTicLEE and @Bloghound and also to those who have resumed their sponsorship @Jane, @LykeLyca and @Mictorrani .

Ehehe I thought you deliberately chose your username. As for mine I decided to not use Artgirl anymore since I haven't been doing any art lately. My username now is actually just a different version of my real name. 😊 It's what I use on other social media sites too.

My username is basically my name. Christopher is my first name and Quincy is.. another. Kristoffer is just a stylish way of spelling Christopher. Initially wanted to use "Kristoffer" as my username here since it's my name on noisecash but read.cash says it's already taken. So far I haven't seen anyone here with that name, so I wonder who took it.

There are many users that we are still unaware of. We don't know everyone so your name must be out there. It's long but it's understandable. Thanks for stopping by.

I love the username you used even your name is beautiful too. What does Gertudis means?

I have always used "Princessbusayo" on all platforms for easy recognition. My name in full is OluwaBusayo meaning "God added more Joy" and since we partially come from a royal family, I had to add Princess to my name which I now bear Princessbusayo till date.

This is what I wrote in my first post here

I go by the leeart in most of the blogging sites/apps that I joined, even in noise.cash. I used different handles in previous sites that I even forgot what were those. I am now using ARTicLEE here in read.cash. I signed up using leeart earlier but I made an error so I had to re-signed up. ART is the initials of my full name while LEE is the name of my partner. Since I have been using leeart, almost all call me LEE, which is fine. I interchanged the names and thought, since I will be writing articles here, why not make the word "article" fancier incorporating our names, s0, ARTicLEE is born.

I am back in Steemit as leeart but I will be posting my Actifit posts there. I didn't know that I can do that again not until LucyStephanie (or artgirl in Steemit) informed me about it.

I don't really have much participation in Steemit. I write in a community called CCC but it gets very little support. But it is free writing from a topic and I like to write freely. you just write a minimum of 200 words and your images and that's it. Just for fun and to chat with others.

And the truth is that Coqui is the diminutive of my original nickname, which is Cocola. Maybe one day I can tell on a post, why this is my nick practically since I was a baby.

Reading how your username came about is interesting. It's so good of your son to help you with technicalities. When I signed up in noise cash, I was thinking about what to use and then "farmgirl" came into mind so that's how it started for me. We live in a farming town and surrounded by farms and it just rings true to me :)
