Just like nicknames, I'm sure your Nairaland monicker was informed by something that had an impression on you. Well, except for those who ban has made them run out of ideas of a name to choose. Lol.

So let me start with my own...

I got Penguin from a movie I watched, Gotham. Penguin's real name in the movie was Oswald Cobblepot but people called him Penguin because of his hair; and his looks maybe.

He didn't like the name at first and would always retort if called by the name. But with time it grew on him and he started to address himself by the name.

His character was that of a downtown guy trying to survive. He did a lot of shits. But these are shits he had no option than to do them if he must survive.

I saw me in him. Well, not like I do shits. But I saw in him a young man that wants to survive no matter what life throws at him.

At a time, Fish, his female boss then, broke his leg and he started to walk funny but he continued to hustle and to work himself up the ladder of the society.

Penguin was my favorite character in Gotham. That's why I chose the name.

So how did you come about yours?

Robin lord Taylor was a legend for his portrayal of the role penguin in Gotham, loved and missed his character

I can't forget early 2017 was in 300 level then, I got my first ever freelance job here from a nairalander, although I do visit the site before then to read news.

I decided to visit webmaster for tutorials since I started my web design journey and then I saw a request for website design and development and I applied and got the offer. After that day I had to create my profile and named it gracefoundmme (Grace Found Me)... because it was so easy no stress despite the fact I was amateur then...mehn it was grace oooo, client was from Glasgow Scotland, I later discovered he is a Nigerian, based over there.

That was the turn around for me ooo,

From that day till now nairaland has been a blessing to me.

I Don't even know how I came about "Righteousness"
What I know is that I was sent here to put out the Raw and Unadulterated Gospel of JESUS Christ that will constantly put men/ women on their toes and so that Everyone that comes across the messages will have a chance to repent and know JESUS.

I believe some persons have begun to anticipate what your response to posts would be though, and may sometimes not read.

I love what you're doing, really.

But sometimes, first be factual, objective and give a practicable solution.

A woman says her husband who is well educated and experienced has refused to apply for a new job after his previous contract ended... the first thing to do shouldn't be to tell them about heaven or hell... There are foundational discussions they should have first to assess what the problem is. Do you get?

The original idea was to fuse my first name, surname initial and the word "prim" because my friends always say I'm prim and proper. Well, the combination gave birth to an actual word... So, PrimadonnaO is "prim woman" plus the initial of my name.

Re: How Did You Come About Your Nairaland Moniker? by Hotbutt(f): 7:57pm On Mar 26, 2021
Funny story, when I was in Nursing school. I was posted for my clinicals in a hospital. A man came with his child to the reception. They were sitted in the reception area.

I then walked in with my colleague. Immediately the son of 5 yrs saw me, he shouted....

"Daddy see that woman. She looks like that woman in the film on your phone that you say have hot butt"

Immediately he said it, every one just looked at both of them especially his father. The shame on his father's face knew no bound.

Everyone started murmuring, talking and laughing. I quickly went into a ward to avoid the scene but it was too late. All my colleagues starting calling me Hotbutt

Apart from that, my secondary school classmates were also calling me hotbutt back then.

So the name just stuck in my head.

Welcome to my world undecided

You are missing it.

It was because of his hair.

Fish was already calling him Penguin before she broke his leg.

Besides, do penguins walk funny?

He had a hair that he styled like the feather of a penguin.
