# <center>Have you wondered what’s the meaning behind some of your fellow Steemians usernames?</center>

I know I have.  Some of the names out there are so creative and intriguing, yet I've never taken the time to find out what they mean.  I've now just begun to communicate with my fellow Steemians on Discord, but with such little time and so many neat people, I needed a way to speed up the process.  This contest will hopefully achieve that goal.

Most of us didn’t have a hand in choosing our ***RLN*** (Real Life Names) so when we’re given the opportunity to create usernames online, what drives us to choose what we’ve chosen?  Our usernames are our own personal chosen signatures to the world.  What do they all mean? *Inquiring minds want to know!*  Through this contest I hope to shed some light on our more obscure and bizarre Steemians.  This contest will tell us a lot about them and about ourselves through our responses and interactions.  

### So, let’s have some fun, shall we?

- I will nominate and then interview a fellow Steemian each week as to how they came up with their username.


- Contestants will give their best explanation to the meaning behind the mystery of that username in the comment section of the contest post.  You can choose to be serious, or just be creative and funny, your choice.

- Contestants will upvote and resteem that weeks contests post.  That may sound tacky, but the more people hear about this contest and the more SBD it pays out, the higher the winnings will be.

- Maximum 2 entries per Steemian.  No contest hogging on my watch!

![Smallest white space.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcM5PowGFpMVHb5mJNj6Y9pcmjgw4w8qzjTe9yVVQ71h8/Smallest%20white%20space.jpg)

  - The original username owner will determine whose answer is most accurate 

AND

  - The amount of upvotes per contestant comment will determine whose answer is the most creative.

In case of a tie (that being a same accurate or creative answer). The winner will be determined by who commented first.

  - If you contact or have had contact with the nominated user and ascertained the meaning of their username, you are resolutely disqualified.

  - If the nominated user is a Real Life Friend (RLF) you should be ashamed of yourself for associating with such riff-raff and you are soundly disqualified by the guilt of your association.

# Keep in Mind:
