Good point you have given. The most significant way to promote brand is always sign up your brand name rather then your name. Always provide unique content about your brand which will be helped t stand out from crowed.

Back in 1998 my randomly generated account name for my brand new…first ever…email account…actually made sense to me. Somehow I intuitively figured out that I should keep using the account name…for everything. Eleven years later I’m still using it. You’re right about all you’ve written…people know who I am and if they need me…they can I can’t take credit for being smart…but I’m glad I was lucky.

One of the most significant branding steps I’ve taken is using and signing my real name on most everything I do that has to do with business and marketing. Because that’s the name my clients and customers use to find me, it’s easier to locate when I use it on everything.

Great topic!

Hey Debi,
Yep, I think that’s definitely a lot better than a common name like Debbie or Deborah. It actually reminds me of DBZ Dragon Ball Z…

Haha, just out of curiosity… what was your previous name?

Yeah, it can be anything really.. as long as it’s unique and easy to remember.

You’re absolutely right, and I must have agonized for ages over what I would call myself all over the web.
Debbie and Debby and Deborah are really a bit too ordinary !!
Debi is a bit better (there aren’t that many of them), but when I couple it with the first or first couple of letters of my surname, I get debi_zyx, or Debi’Z whatever I want (Debi’Z QA blog, Debi’Z SEO blog, http://www.debi-z.com (which will be up soon …).
I added my signature colours (purples, pinks and blues) to my logo and business card – they are colors I wear a lot – and hey presto! a HOPEFULLY rememberable brand.

I am actually in the process of “rebranding” my online presence to match my blog identity.

The decision also came about partly as it turns out my former general username has a very different meaning in the USA from the UK where I live – and lots of people think I am a girl, which as it happens I am not.

So, it is not just a case of building an online brand, but also one which leaps over cultural boundaries.

Alas, my new moniker, ianvisits was also recently misinterpreted, so I guess you can’t really win!

I guess put family name after the nick name is a good idea when your name is commonly use.
