Well, in the United States, it's about the same as using the n-word. If someone had used that for their user name, I could see someone else not liking it.

I had never even heard of it until this thread, and I highly doubt it's in the same category of words as the n-word here in the US.

There's even a restaurant with the name in California. If it were equal to the n-word, I'd expect some pretty negative press and an angry mob outside the restaurant.

I didn't make it up. Feel free to google it.

Do you spend your time examining everyone's user name and trying to work out if someone, somewhere could possibly take offence from it?

I've read that 'robhainer' was a disgusting slur in the Aztec language. Feel free to Google it.

Well, a word is never offensive.
It is the sense that you give to it to be offensive
It is the person using it in an offensive way to be offensive…

And if I prefer to duckduckgo it?

I think 1000 dollars a month with 1800 images after one year is very good. Especially because you are probably still climbing through the ranks of the various royalty systems. Once you reach higher levels (gold,ruby,emerald..whatever...) your income will increase even more. You should definitely continue doing stock, there are many people coming in who are earning much less than you with 1800 images.

Well done - yes, that is good for most people. The key element though, is did you have high production costs for your 1800 pics? Keep refining and cutting these down where possible to maximize your profit.
