If you sometimes wonder about the steemit username of a friend of yours and want to ask him about it, then this is definitely a challenge to look into. Me, for example have always wondered about the user name of a friend @dragosroua and always wanted to ask him but I didn't get the chance. He wrote a post 2 days ago giving a detailed background about his username choice and it was pretty much fun reading his post.
I also particularly enjoyed reading @valth's Steemit Name Challenge.
So awesome to find out that how small things in life affect our choices, like username selection.
Yesterday my dear friend @valth, nominated me for the Steemit Name Challenge.
So here I go...
Tell us in a post how you chose the current Steemit username you have. The story behind it.
The reason I choose @xabi as my username was my extreme admiration of Spanish Footballer Xabier "Xabi" Alonso Olano
Tell us your real name!
My real name is Jahanzaib, meaning "Beauty of the World" but my friends and family prefer to use my nickname Zabi. So when I was signing up to steemit first I decided to use @zabi to be my username but due to a typing error I ended up writing @xabi. At first I wanted to correct the mistake but from some deep fan corner of my mind thought of Xabi Alonso came and I decided to let my username go by @xabi instead of @zabi.
If you could change your current username, which name would you choose and why? If you have a possible usernames list, mention it!
Well, about a chance to change my username....my answer is No. I love this name and I am glad that I have chosen it.
Use the tag #steemitnamechallenge so that the creator of the challenge can track all the posts and check them out.
My Pleasure
Nominate 5 people for this challenge.
I would like to nominate @karensuestudios, @teamsteem, @polebird, @acromott and @jbn.
Steem on!
PS
I would love to hear the story behind your username @teamsteem, especially.
Hi, Jahanzaib. It's cool to see that your username actually comes from a typo! Haha, that was unexpected!
It might be different in your language, but I'm pretty sure Xabi and Zabi is pronounced the same way in English, so it's not that big of a difference.
And I'm glad you didn't chose your real name as a username: it was much more difficult to write :P
Yeah Difficult to write and pronounce. ..lolzzz
Ahaha typing error... I did that with my email... used my sisters birthday instead of my own! 😂😂😂
Lolzzz.you really love her Karen:)
This steemitnamechallenge is really fun. It is more of a new introduceyourself post.
I enjoy reading yours @zabi and @xabi Alonso. 😁👅

I first thought you were catalan (Xavi is Xavier like Javier) but then checking the profile... bump! It was different nickname and blown my mind...
