Its been more than a week, #steemitnamechallenge is going on and now I have also been nominated by valth@valth. So valth, as it was your first challenge so as mine. Here are the rules:

  • How you choose the current steemit username? and the story behind it.
  • If you could change the your current username, which one do you choose and why? mention it!
  • Use the Tag #steemitnamechallenge.
  • Nominate 5 more to this challenge.

How you choose the current steemit username? and the story behind it.

I really wish, I can say it is my real name as I have never disclosed my real name to anyone. The current username came from the person who told me about this platform. So, my name is Vijay and the person who introduced me to steemit is Namrata. I just thought why not give the account name after her and that became VI+NAMRA= VINAMRA. 

Actually, its not just a random mix-up name. In Hindi it has a meaning:

VINAMRA: Humble (A person who doesn't believe that he/she is better than others and do not proud)

And this perfectly portray me and most of the INDIANS. This is the basic reason behind choosing the username.

The one who might feel bad or betrayed by this is dexterdev@dexterdev because he asked me my real name once and I said "vinamra" is my real name. Well dexterdev, really sorry for that. I can only say, I was new and just don't wanted to disclose my real name. With dev there are some others too, who should know my real name but I still believe that I can not give it my name as it was suggested and thet's why named after her.
