So this is an in thing now... sharing the story behind our Steemit screen names. Two great name-stories I read are from @eonwarped and @maverickinvictus... you guys have inspired me to share my story. It's nowhere as exciting as yours.
But I feel like making you guys go through it.
So there are two parts to my name. Nothing special. Everyone has it.
Part 1: svk
I removed the vowels (or cut out the vowels) from my real world first name Souvik which in Sanskrit means "magician", "illusionist", "hypnotist" or "wizard".
Yeah, we Indian's have such names which are often inspired from our great ancient epics. It's a Bengali male first name. So now all of Steemit know my real name, my race, and my country. Not quite interested in being hidden and anonymous in the cryptoverse, you see.
The Bowel Cutter Story
My @cryptoempire friends share a funny story about my name. Soon after I became active on Steemit, I joined the @cryptoempire discord channel. There someone asked me what my name was. So I told them it was Souvik and how I arrived at svk by cutting out the bowels... It was a harmless typo but I made the ingenious mistake of pointing it out to those who I was talking to.
As my fate would have it, the great @underground was there and he picked it up and named me Bowel Cutter. This is how the Vowel Cutter became the Bowel Cutter of @cryptoempire.
I am on official empire duty and I cut bowels of whoever tries to mess around with empire folks. So beware!!!
Part 2: rulze
I have always been a fan of fantasy and historical fiction. I always was fascinated by the great kings. Since reading the LoTR I imagined myself to be Aragorn, lolz.
What does a king do? He rules.
Rather,
He rulze.

Nominations
So, that's the not so fascinating story behind my name.
It would be awesome if others are inspired by my post and share their name-stories.
No one nominated me :( I will nominate a few. @lunaticpandora @bobinson @sayee @bala41288

It's a good challenge actually. There are lots of people with weird steemit handles. Some of which may not even be relevant or related with their name. This will be a good way too find the mystery behind their steemit handles. My story is not so great but I'll try to write one.
A King? He Rulz? Nonsense! There's only 1 true emperor! :D
I love the meaning behind your name Souvik! It suites you pretty well!
Ooh the empire can certainly use another magician. Make it rain!
Interesting that your people get named after old epic stories! I've been nominated twice for this challenge, so i guess I'll make a post about it but my name is not really a big deal.
