RE: @Crosheille - The Mysteries Behind the Handle

in OCD3 years ago (edited)

Funny thing :)

You are lucky that a reminder happens in the address field of the internet browser once you have visited someone's blog. The first letters then do the rest. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to remember a name like yours. Any marketing expert would have advised you against this creation. LOL. But I think it's good to choose your name according to other considerations, even if my husband would call it "strategically not very smart".

I actually got the pronunciation "correct" as my brain was unable to do anything with the "iei" parts. So I just skipped them and simplified it. The story behind it is good and I read you like it when you can provide an anecdote, it's the same here :)
My own username is more of a pragmatic nature. It contains my initials and my country. Nevertheless, people ask where I come from, although I thought it was obvious.

In fact, I often wonder what is behind the names and what someone's intention might have been.

Yes, I am glad the final letters of a username pops in when using PeakD, it is quite handy especially when the spelling may be uncertain.

I’m sure the marketing experts probably wouldn’t have agreed with my name but it wasn’t created just for online or marketing. It was a brand name that was given to me that I plan to use in other ways (as you stated above it was for other considerations as well). I wanted it to be unique and set apart from the average name. Although it may not be the easiest pronunciation to figure out I do love that it stands out and I wouldn’t change it. Many brands that didn’t stick to the status quote are huge now and a big part of that was their boldness to be unique (not saying I am trying to be a huge brand lol, just stating an example).

;)

I figured right off that you were from Germany or at least had origins there. I think it’s neat when a name is created using personal initials or words that represent something real about that person :)

Yes, it’s fun learning the mystery behind a handle.
