So @suesa nominated me for the steemit name challenge and since I get asked about where my name comes from a lot, here it is.
But first, here we go with the rules:
- Tell us in a post how you chose the current Steemit username you have. The story behind it.
- Tell us your real name!
- If you could change your current username, which name would you choose and why? If you have a possible usernames list, mention it!
- Use the tag #steemitnamechallenge so that the creator of the challenge can track all the posts and check them out
- Nominate 5 people for this challenge
So, let's do this!
- My current name comes from a Magic: The Gathering card:
Which itself is a play on words with ragamuffin:
I really liked the name and the darkness associated with it, but changed it to reggaemuffin because everyone knows reggae but no one knows the word rag
So then I used that name as my backup username for a few years. It became my steem name, because the one I signed up with took a few days to be confirmed by steemit and I was not feeling up to waiting a week, so I created this acc with anonsteem. And when my other account got approved, I already had a brand on this one and liked the name.
I initially used a panther as a profile picture, as it had a very calm expression, being at peace with everything, while at the same time being extremely dangerous to those disturbing the peace.
I got some fan art and I commissioned them to create my current profile, as the panther was a black blob in small spaces and not really recognizeable.
My current logo is a play on the history of the name, being a muffin with reggae style and a panther face:
I won't be telling you my real name. It has no connection to my user name.
I build a brand with my name, I would not change it. I like how you can shorten it to RM, reggae or muffin and it is unique enough so I know I am meant by it.

The steemstem-resteem
tag is not a tag that the SteemSTEM project uses, just a small joke (:
