TODAY’S QUESTIONS:
Do you use your own name for blogging?
I don’t use my name for blogging. The name of my blog is keep it alive and I use a pseudonym, Sadje as my moniker.
If you use a pseudonym, what are your reasons for this, and what led you to choose that particular name?
Like a lot of other bloggers, when I started my blog, I was wary of revealing too much about myself on a public forum so I decided to use a name that is somewhat similar to my name, and yet it isn’t my name. This way I have privacy and am free to express my opinions without any fear of repercussions from my friends in the real world. It is quite liberating to be semi-anonymous.
Is there an interesting story behind your User Name?
It was a chance that I ended up with Sadje as my username. It was a typo and I click okay before I saw what I had entered as my username. I then googled Sadje and found out that it is a name in its own right. So that’s how I ended up as Sadje @ Keepitalive!
Thank you Tanya for giving me this opportunity to share my story about my blog name here.

I thought, until you revealed in a recent post, that “Sadje” WAS your own name. I like it because it does sound like an actual name, and I’m very glad you did click that button, even if it was not what you originally thought! It’s a pleasure to know you too!

It doesn’t really matter what we call ourselves… as long as what we write, and how we live is honest, and truly us.

One of my very few blogger friends who has a pen name here 🙌. I could relate so much to this post Sadje 😊 “Ru” in my blog address was a typo too .. but it happened to be somewhere a part of my real name and I let it be 😊
