HOW THE NICKNAME “FOX” CAME TO EXISTENCE…

in #hive-1776822 months ago

I joined the hive blockchain with just my birth name; Abdulqudus on the 7th of April 2022, and for some reasons i had to edit the name a little bit to use it as my hive username, since I wanted a unique username, and especially for the fact that hive usernames can’t be changed once it is created. I had to go with quduus1 because that was the best name in my head when i was in the process of creating my hive account…

I was on the blockchain for some weeks without a favorite community or a particular community to settle down into to make friends and to possibly learn a couple of other things different from what was taught to me by my mentor. I only had hive learners as a community back then, everything changed few weeks after i was onboarded and that was when i was introduced to the Neoxian City

I remember that day like it was yesterday, the city was still situated on element back when i joined in, a couple of months later we found our way back to discord, where it all started…

Prior to finding our way back to discord, we had many members in the city and i bonded with many of them days after i joined them, some were immediately. One of the most intriguing and funny things I noticed in the city at that time was the fact that most of the members of the city had a customized nickname, burlarj had burl/eagle, there was bee, there was kat, there was mangojuice, there was lion. Seeing this every time and how other members addressed them with their nicknames made me crave it, I wanted another nickname so bad but wasn’t sure how to generate one for myself…

Generating one wasn’t the problem but being addressed by it by my friends and other city members was the only difficult part…

I moved on after thinking about it for a while, shortly afterwards we made the big move back to discord. Moving back to discord was not really planned, but because of the nonstop bugs of element back then, we had to move the city back to where it all started…

The move back to discord was loud, we had to welcome many oldies and newbies back to the city, as most of them couldn’t find their way to element, the move back was loud enough to bring them back immediately…

Weeks after our big move back to discord everything changed and I eventually got myself a new nickname, thanks to Bee i got a new nickname, at first there were nicknames like fox, black fox, and black foxy fox, i just went by all of them until only one of them stuck with me…

I was active on that very day with bee and a couple of others whom I can’t really recall for now, we were having a conversation about how everyone had a nickname(animal like) and i being just quduus1 at that time didn't have one, bee told me how everyone managed to get a nickname for themselves…

The conversation kept on going until she kept on suggesting different nicknames for me, at first it seemed like a joke because she was making fun of me while the whole thing was going on. This kept on going until we arrived at that perfect nickname which stuck with me…

After testing out different nicknames on me, we eventually arrived at FOX, I liked it from the beginning but didn’t believe it would stick with me for this long. I changed my discord username immediately, many of my neoxian friends made jest of my name by calling it nonstop, and before I knew it the name stuck to their mouths…

It was either black fox, black foxy fox or fox, i was addressed differently by different people until one of the nicknames eventually stuck and that was FOX

In summary, months after the birth of my new nickname, i was still being addressed by quduus1. The moment my onboarder who knew me as quduus1 started calling me fox eventually convinced me that the nickname had stuck to him…

In conclusion, it’s been over a year now since i got the nickname Fox, and today most of my friends on hive, especially those from the neoxian city now address me as FOX, I doubt if many of them would even remember my real name…
