Posting photographs accompanied by some short wit, a corny joke, or some nonsense gibberish isn't enough these days, huh?
Now you want to know why I chose my username. And even my real name!
And I have to write more than a paragraph! Ah, the heck with it!
(Ok, this little rant is over :P)
The Steemit Name Challenge
I was nominated by 
It's all your fault! (:P)
The rules of the #steemitnamechallenge:

okkiedot is actually Okki E Dot
Okki is a nickname of mine, I think there are more people who know me by this name than by my real given name. My surname starts with an E.
Now do the math :P
What kind of nickname is that? And what's his real name then?
My real name is a rare one and even more rare because it is written the Polish way. Yes, that's where I was born in the early eighties. It is a variation of the name of the first emperor of Rome. Very complicated for a little child so I guess this is what I looked like when my parents named me this way.
Chill down, it is an EMPEROR's name. You know the old saying, "nomen est omen". Hell yeah, an EMPEROR's name. Apparently, my parents had a big future in mind for me. Sadly, I did not find a country willing to accept me as their rightful emperor. Not even an island. Maybe I have to declare one in my garden...*laughs maniacally
The guy above is the first (best, greatest...ok, Stop Donald!) emperor of Rome. After Julius Caesar was assassinated, young Gaius Octavius, who was 18 years old back then, worked his way up and became the emperor at the age of 38, better known under the name that was given to him by the senat of Rome - Augustus. So, I still have some time left to accomplish that...
Remember the last part of the title of this post?
The one mentioning the 5 SBD prize?
Let's play a round of Rumpelstiltskin. You tell me my real name with the right spelling and you win. One try per person, first one to get it right wins the prize! Btw, I went past 1,000 followers a couple of days ago, so I'd like to thank you all a lot and I hope I can keep you entertained. Here's something back :) The winner will be announced after payout.
Well, no.3. Would I change my username?
No, why would I want to do that? It's created from my nickname, it has a personal background. Not random at all.
There's only one thing left to do.
Select five poor souls for sacrifice.
I hereby nominate:
- probably too busy, but he has humor, maybe he makes something fun from this

Yours,
