RE: Decentralising our collective HIVETwitter Movement with HIVE Twitter Hustler (NathanMars) Proposal

we are a bit closer, Vojvodina, Serbia :D
the bil.prag has a weird background. it is a Serbian translation of a Terry Pratchett book character.

As i wanted to register to instagram but for some strange reason did not want to connect it with my FB profile i had to chose a Username. Marko was not available. And instagram was giving me all that great suggestions of Marko531, Marko_54782 and i did not want to have stupid number after my name. After some time of trying different things and a lot of frustration with it i remembered something. I am a big fan of Terry Pratchett and i just finished his book Reaper Man where Death quit his job, and went to live with people. And It had the same problem as i did, it needed a name. And it's solution was simple, Bill as a common name, and Door as the first thing that is saw. Ok the second thing, Sky was not accepted by the old lady that wanted to hire it. So @bil.prag is actually the Serbian translation of of Death's name in Terry Pratchett's book Reaper Man.

    Lol, that's quite a story, really, so thanks for sharing it with me. We are really neighbors then! Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I know anyone from Serbia.
    I remember there was an initiative on the old chain last year or so, about what your username means. It was great to read all those stories. I guess yours would have won the prize if there would have been one.

    By the way, I need a good username for my cooking account ... thinking ... thinking ...

      it is a weird one, but in time i found that the good thing is that it is unique, so it is free on most things i want to register :D

      good username is hard :D especially when you want it to have some connected meaning.

        Having a unique username is important.
        After we had this conversation I thought it would be a good idea to ask the Hive community how they got their username, it would be a good way to boost engagement.
        Now I'm asking your permission to refer to this discussion and if you would be willing to tell your story under that post.
