How did I choose my username?
I chose my username because it's what I'm called all the time! Shortly after my husband and I met, he just came up with it. My husband is a master at dubbing people with nicknames. Some of the nicknames he came up with for friends in highschool have stuck around to this day. Soaf-a-loaf is our 3 year old daughter, pickles is our 5 year old daughter, chloebear is our 6 year old daughter, hummingbird is our 8 year old daughter, and javabean is our 10 year old son. Rondo is a friend from highschool. Sometimes he gave people nicknames that weren't so nice when he didn't like them. Like test-tube-mick, (as if he was a test-tube baby) a nickname that spread and the dude hated it! 😂
At first I didn't like snowpea, because my stepdad called my mom sweetpea and as a teenager I would always roll my eyes and think it was the corniest thing, but after some time, snowpea grew on me. 😊
My real name:
My real name is Sharee. It's pronounced shah-ree, not sherry. When people say my name for the first time, they usually say sherry, and I've gotten so used to it, that I don't even correct them anymore.
If I could change my username, what would it be?
I have a slight pet peeve over usernames that are too hard to pronounce or spell. I think the shorter and more memorable a username is, the better. Both for the person behind the name, and for other Steemians. Sorry if this has offended anyone, I still love you!!
In light of that, I would pick the following names that just popped into my head:
- boots
- pinkie
- killgirl
- spellbound
- wtf123
- slinky
- searcher
My husband has been calling me steemqueen lately too, so maybe that one!
You see? Short and sweet. Easy to spell, and easy to remember. 😃
I was just notified by GINAbot that a person named just posted a love it/shove it post. Glad to meet you! But I'll definitely be copy/pasting that one! 😂😘
For this challenge I will nominate people with names I'm curious about:
Thank you for coming up with this challenge!
Much love, snowpea ❤
