Tell us in a post how you chose the current Steemit username you have. The story behind it.
Real simple, not very exciting though. It was just random, I choose a random name for every site I join. Usually picking a name is difficult due to the name squatting and good names being taken, so I generally just pick random names until I get something.
Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with Mark Wahlberg and his old band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Although I always liked the few songs he made and the movies he was in. It was more of just a goofy repeating name that wasn't taken. I have regrets though as I wish I went with something Firefly themed as I now use that a lot in my cover image and it is kind of how I am known here.
Tell us your real name!
I don't have one, but if you need one just call me Bob, Frank, or Joe. I've been called far worse.
If you could change your current username, which name would you choose and why? If you have a possible usernames list, mention it!
As mentioned above, I'd gone with something Firefly themed. Serenity would be my top pick.

I recognize him but I don't know the reference, don't even know what it is from, and that makes me sad.
Here is the reference:
Side Show Bob from the Simpsons.

All its advantages are available to the modern Internet user - freedom of access to information, communication through various channels, an immense Arsenal of technical means for visualizing their creative ideas, sources of earnings... Sometimes a good memory for usernames depends on many things - time to read the letter in time save data. To work effectively in a global network, you need at least several individual logins and passwords to access forums, social networks, chats, and videoconferences. The problem is that there are almost a billion users on the Internet. And all the most successful and widespread variants of logins are already mastered by someone. Your name depends on your imagination.
interesting i will join the competition
Nope, don't believe you. Real name is Mark Wahlberg. It's so obvious
lol
Amazing post brother
:(
): (
Need some eyebrow in there.
Nice challenge but giving out your real name? Not going to happen. Our local news station went to making people use their FB accounts to log in because they felt people would behave better in comments. One night during a debate on immigration and not a open borders fan some guy looked me up in the city property registry and posted a picture of my house and address and encouraged people to come and protest in front of it. There are WAY MORE scary people here on Steemit. Say it reflects upon the life I've had but I am a firm believer that anything can happen so I am not into making that any easier on the crazies out there.
I started out blogging with my initials and last name and if I were to use another name I'd probably go back to that. Reason being is it gave me a little more legitimacy as a person connecting to the world but not enough to give weirdo's a chance of finding your exact location. Even though they don't always need to know your name if they are good at hacking, which some weirdo did and was spying on me through my cam on my computer for months before I realized it. I am quite content with Sunlit 7, I use that on every blog except my local news blog which I built a fake FB account and am known as Quite Frankly on...because quite frankly I can be quite frank about my opinion without some creep posting my address anymore. I don't spend a whole lot of time blogging there anymore, I like the wide array of subject matter other blogs offer. I use Sunlit 7 as my trademark name for blogging on the vast web, the name comes from wanting to reach up to the sun if I could after a dark, dreary winter, I want to be lit up! by it before darkness falls at 7 pm, which is the time daylight progresses to before they do the time change in the spring of the year. Though I don't use my real name Sunlit 7 is the only sock account that spawned from using my real initials, that's about as much honesty as I can offer. This is also as close to entering that contest as I am getting. lol.
Don't call him Frank... that's me!
That would be an awesome name. We loved Firefly but Stargate is oir backstop SciFi. Right now we are watching Deep Space 9. Thanks for playing along was nice to get to know you a little more.
