This is a challenge that has been making the rounds on the Steem blockchain. I was NOT nominated yet, but am doing this voluntarily because of some comments made on this post of mine. As I understand it, this challenge was originated by @felobtc who was inspired by a post which @lymepoet made. The purpose of this challenge is to learn more about each other, and to thereby foster friendships by sharing a bit of our true selves.
THE RULES
- Tell us in your post how you chose the Steemit username you have, the story behind it.
- Tell us your real name!
- If you could change your current Steemit username, which name would you choose and why? If you have a possible usernames list, mention it!
- Use the tag #steemitnamechallenge so that I can track all the posts and check them out.
- Nominate 5 people for this challenge.
HOW I CHOSE MY NAME
I am quiet
until I feel comfortable around you,
then I can be quite vocal.
I can be a purr-fect and loyal friend.
I am usually sweet and gentle,
unless you corner me.
Then, I will bare my claws
and fight.
I can move very quickly.
And quietly.
Unless I'm wearing high heels.
click... click... click...
Some people call me mysterious,
although I don't try to be that way.
It just happens.
Misunderstood?
I think I'm just Miss Understood.
There's nothing quite so good
as a nap.
Or seafood.
Or a fun toy!
Or a flower.
Or that pretty stone.
Pretty stone? Pretty stone!
Is that pretty stone a quartz or a plagioclase?
hmmm...
Curious about everything.

MY REAL NAME
My real name has been mentioned in my blog numerous times, so I won't repeat it here, as it's no big secret. If you really wanna know, go digging. However, as many people call me by my nickname "Kitty" in real-life as by my real name, so that will suffice. 😸
IF I COULD CHANGE MY NAME
I would probably pick the name I've used in my personal blog for a long time. It is a diminutive of my middle name as well as the name of a goddess. I don't want to give it here, though, as I might still find another use for it besides my blog and don't want to give anyone ideas of taking it! LOL!
