Scheumke: Where'd You Get Your Nickname?

Scheumke 01.28.20	Don't think I've seen this before. So, tell me all about yours!
dedex 01.28.20	Scheveningen aight good place to surf innit Mine is totally a silly word we invented with the pals when we were young, and I find it funny so I use it all the time
Demon of the Fall 01.28.20	Mine could potentially give away my identity so I'll refrain for now. More importantly why is there a band called Rare Candy? Lol.
Bedex 01.28.20	mine's because dedex was already taken by some dude so I used a common variation
Scheumke 01.28.20	Yeah haha found it while looking for a album cover with candy on it. Haven't listened yet but surely intend to do so. You refering to lucifer @demon, or is your real nickname actually 'The Edge' lol.
garas 01.28.20	garas is a specific type of coin in the Hungarian history (roughly equal to the word "penny"), which is nowadays is a symbol of the word "worthless" / "unvaluable". I thought this would be a cool band name, which never happened, but I kept this as a sput-only username.
DadKungFu 01.28.20	I was a huge kung fu movie nerd when I started my account and I became a dad in 2018 so DadKungFu
Bedex 01.28.20	"I thought this would be a cool band name, which never happened" says the man who has like 25 different dungeon synth and drone projects none of which are named garas
garas 01.28.20	First, that is not true hahaha! I barely have a few. And secondly, I imagined it as a metal band name, with a sick logo etc.
Scheumke 01.28.20	It would work as a band name for sure.
zakalwe 01.28.20	I always pronounced it shoomca
wham49 01.28.20	Well mine comes from the movie The Natural, the baseball movie. In the movie there is a Babe Ruth type character named the Whammer that the main character strikes out. One of my little league coaches called me that and it stuck, to this day most people I know that are not coworkers call me that.
DDDeftoneDDD 01.28.20	there was this cool band called Deftones while I was constantly stoned...
Aerisavion 01.28.20	Interesting idea for a list. Mine is inspired by a combination of terms referring to flight. Firstly, the Shadow of the Colossus flying colossi, ‘Phalanx’, or more specifically the Latin name “Aeris velivolus”. Combined with the more modern reference to aviation/man made flying machines (avion), I liked how they sounded combined and here we are.
Trifolium 01.28.20	I'm a biologist. I really like clovers, Trifolium, because of their beautifully composed flowers. Each and every single flower in the composite 'heads' is gorgeous. Look at this: https://i.etsystatic.com/8877517/r/il/407637/1266906385/il_1588xN.1266906385_5dc8.jpg You can see the common theme repeated in each flower: a banner, two wings and a keel (to be seen here: https://www.wildflowers-and-weeds.com/Plant_Families/Fabaceae_pics/Fabaceae.jpg ). Ok, lesson in botany over. Oh and they're called Dutch clover in English, and I'm from NL so that was a perfect fit.
JohnnyoftheWell 01.28.20	I fell in a well and have been stuck there ever since dedex/Bedex origin story is a plot twist for the history books
Sinternet 01.28.20	its literally just sin and internet put together but it was an injoke between mates when i was like 14. started using it after my regular username in most places was taken and i didn't feel like adding dumb symbols to it like i had been doing
Demon of the Fall 01.28.20	Everyone is talking about their Sputname, I was expecting more irl nicknames (although there is some crossover).
DopeFiend 01.28.20	acid bath has a cool song called dope fiend
TheNotrap 01.28.20	High school joke from a couple of rappers, because I hated rap and had a Scott Ian cap
Demon of the Fall 01.28.20	'acid bath has a cool song called dope fiend' Respect, Acid Bath rule. It is perhaps unfortunate that anyone not familiar with the song may take your username too literally though, lol.
Relinquished 01.28.20	yes I am also new to the internet and thought I was talking to a literal dope fiend
DopeFiend 01.28.20	people who don't know of/don't like acid bath do not matter
Relinquished 01.28.20	"High school joke from a couple of rappers, because I hated rap and had a Scott Ian cap" I thought it was The No Trap and you were secretly a cop
Itwasthatwas 01.28.20	I have no clue anymore tbh. Chose it as a kid for some reason or the other, probably a stupid one
butt. 01.28.20	Went to a Shawn of the Dead screening at the Alamo Drafthouse and they handed out those disposable name tags to everyone, and of course everyone tried to be funny instead. Couldn’t think of anything clever, so I just wrote Butt. Then the host came around with a microphone and read off my name tag to the whole theater, so it stuck. A couple friends call me Butt.
cold 01.28.20	It's just a song from Death Of Lovers
Aberf 01.28.20	Abe is my nickname, rf is my initial
Scheumke 01.28.20	"I thought it was The No Trap" Holy crap I always thought the same thing.
TheNotrap 01.28.20	I don't know why, but most sput lads call me or think of me as Trap, and after all these years, I've gotten used to it, I guess. NoTrap is just fine
Relinquished 01.28.20	you haven't refuted that YOU'RE A COP
butt. 01.28.20	why didn't you just stylize it as TheNotRap in the first place lol
TheNotrap 01.28.20	I work in marketing & design, I'm not a copper "why didn't you just stylize it as TheNotRap in the first place lol" Never felt the need
el_newg 01.28.20	comes from my name. actually it was inspired by a user on this site, redskyformiles who changed to Athom, I used their same naming convention
Itwasthatwas 01.28.20	TheNotRap would just make me think you’re a YouTube comments tier retard so the ambiguity was better
SitarHero 01.28.20	I thought it was The No Trap [3] but funnily enough the meaning I attributed to it was the correct one. xD
TheNotrap 01.28.20	I'm not sure what you mean Itwasthatwas
Demon of the Fall 01.28.20	'yes I am also new to the internet and thought I was talking to a literal dope fiend' You see? Shit gets confusing. I was also unsure of Notrap's intentions, but couldn't work out what No Trap could mean. butt makes a good point though.
Demon of the Fall 01.28.20	'TheNotRap would just make me think you’re a YouTube comments tier retard so the ambiguity was better' (2) ^ also this, blessing in disguise perhaps.
cold 01.28.20	YouTube comments tier what?
Itwasthatwas 01.28.20	Have you never looked at the youtube comments on popular songs?
butt. 01.28.20	let's just settle on TheKnotWrap and say he was excited about getting married when he made the account
Relinquished 01.28.20	"would just make me think you’re a YouTube comments tier retard" "YouTube comments tier what?" youtube era facepalm
Pangea 01.28.20	pangea is a prehistoric supercontinent. i picked it because i love prehistoric stuff and i think it's a cool name
Aerisavion 01.28.20	“Have you never looked at the youtube comments on popular songs?” !!!*****THUMBS UP IF YOU LIKE IN 2020*****!!!
tectactoe 01.28.20	Back in, like 2001 when AOL Instant Messenger began booming, I wanted the name 'tictactoe' (dunno why) but it was obviously taken so I fired from the hip and changed the first 'i' to an 'e' and I've been rocking that shit ever since.
ArsMoriendi 01.28.20	Mine is just a Mr. Bungle song
Drifter 01.28.20	I was trying to think of a username for this here website and wanted to make it a reference to something and one of the first things I thought of was The Lonesome Drifter from Fallout New Vegas so I just shortened it and went with that.
SteakByrnes 01.28.20	Steak is a nickname from high school because of a funny xbox gamertag my friends and I found on his xbox that I would always use (plus I love steak so it fits), and Byrnes is my last name so I just shove them together
Demon of the Fall 01.28.20	'pangea is a prehistoric supercontinent. i picked it because i love prehistoric stuff and i think it's a cool name' It's cool to get confirmation on this one (honestly not sarcasm). Drifter is a FN:V ref then, nice. It is potentially quite ambiguous without context.
DDDeftoneDDD 01.28.20	The first contact with the title "Demon of The Fall" I had, was with your sputname X)
Intothepit 01.28.20	Your mother's vagina
DDDeftoneDDD 01.28.20	LMAO JEEEEZ
cold 01.28.20	""would just make me think you’re a YouTube comments tier retard" "YouTube comments tier what?" youtube era facepalm" Most people that still use the r-word are the ones that are still cranking their little hog in their mom's basement. Cheeto lube is where it's at, I guess.
butt. 01.28.20	I'm honestly not on board with the whole "r-word" thing. If you're around someone who could be offended by that then yeah, know your audience and be respectful. But otherwise, just don't be a retard about it
cold 01.28.20	There it is
Keyblade 01.28.20	from a name i made when i was 16 on neoseeker or some shit trying to beat a part of kingdom hearts
Deez 01.28.20	I took it from a guy. Hes dead now. I took everything from him.
Icebloom 01.28.20	Uhm, I think I tried Icebox first, as a reference to a lyric from Interpol's Leif Erikson (my then favourite song), but that name was already taken. So I sort of combined it with Night-Blooming Cereus from Protomartyr (also one of my favourite songs) and got Icebloom as a name, which I thought sounded cool Doesn't really make any sense but yeah
mrdogthrow 01.28.20	i like ninjas + last name i was like 8 somehow stuck still like ninjas tho
NOTINTHEFACE 01.28.20	This has been my default screen name since I was playing Unreal Tournament in 1999. I got it from a cartoon playing around that time called The Tick. I wish it weren't in all caps but I can't be bothered to go to the forums and change it.
Source 01.28.20	retards itt
Egarran 01.28.20	u said it the old thread was way better
RogueNine 01.28.20	There's another thread on this? I'd read it.
SteakByrnes 01.28.20	I don't even remember who made the old thread, I've tried looking for it
DinosaurJones 01.28.20	DinosaurJones was my nickname in high school, and I was in high school when I made this account... 13 years ago.
rellik009 01.28.20	basically: -Take the word "killer" -Reverse it -Think about how you could base yourself off 007(because how else can you be unoriginal) -Add 009 on the end of it. That is how you create bad usernames.
DinosaurJones 01.28.20	There was a wrestler called Rellik in TNA years and years ago. Every time he wrestled, the announcers would constantly yell "RELLIK IS KILLER SPELLED BACKWARDS!"
rellik009 01.28.20	rly? dayum I didn't even know about that
Itwasthatwas 01.28.20	so calling retards retarded offends coldheaven I guess
dctarga 01.28.20	The only irl nickname I had was from the regulars that I played pick-up hoops with, one of the dudes called me Bogut at one point becasue Andrew Bogut (NBA player) had this medium length floppy hair and beard thing going on and I had the same look apparently, also at the time all I could really do was run around and grab rebounds so it just stuck. I'm only 5'11'' though so I always thought it was odd lol. The first pair of DC Shoes I bought was the "Targa" model so I just put that together when signing up for whatever my first online account was and I've used it for everything else since.
wham49 01.28.20	itwasthatwas, that word in my eyes is like using the N word, just makes you look like an idiot, and in certain circles will get you beat
SitarHero 01.28.20	@NOTINTHEFACE The last multiplayer shooter I played consistently was Quake 3 Arena (yeah, I'm hella old and also I sucked at shooters and never felt the urge to get into another after) but my name was "DON'T SHOOT!" which always bought me a couple of lives because if I was playing with a someone for the first time it'd cause them to momentarily hesitate.
Itwasthatwas 01.28.20	lol wham, imagine complaining about that while using idiot in the same sentence
Source 01.28.20	you never played the halo games? everything after odst is retarded but the original trilogy was as good as it gets
alamo 01.28.20	its my last name
Egarran 01.28.20	>There's another thread on this? I'd read it. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=158666
SitarHero 01.28.20	"you never played the halo games?" A couple of times. I was a PC gamer but wasn't super into first person shooters. The only shooter I played for any significant amount after Halo 3 was CoD 2 or 3, can't remember which.
BAT 01.28.20	my nicknames actually tab buut gonna plead the fifth as to why mines bat here. its a acronym of my super embarassing 12yo sheezyart/deviantart account, people i met thru that just started calling me tab and it stuck. legally i'm daniel so dan /danny are common
RogueNine 01.29.20	Wow that thread was dripping with insecure cringe.
cold 01.29.20	"so calling retards retarded offends coldheaven I guess" Not so much the point, more so that it's INCREDIBLY easy to not be a piece of shit. But, I digress.
JayEnder 01.29.20	Mines just my first and last name squished together. Real creative ik ik
JohnnyoftheWell 01.29.20	I thought it was because you were really into ending things :[
JayEnder 01.29.20	Like this conversation? OH SHit jk johnny ily :]
Scheumke 01.29.20	That other threat was recently even :o How'd I miss that lol. Owh well. Fun to see where all your names are coming from. @JayEnder I always hoped that you had a strong desire to end all popculture Jay's: Jay Pritchet, Jay-Z, you name it.
butt. 01.29.20	torts did you really get banned again
Egarran 01.29.20	Yeah scheumke I hope you learn a thing or two from old man ars. Like updating answers in the list.
JayEnder 01.29.20	"@JayEnder I always hoped that you had a strong desire to end all popculture Jay's: Jay Pritchet, Jay-Z, you name it." You know, that's a much cooler origin story. Lets go with that. Death to all Jays
SteakByrnes 01.29.20	Except the Blue Jay
JayEnder 01.29.20	Ok ur right. Those birds are pretty
Willie 01.29.20	Mine was originally WillieFisterbut which originates with my gamer tag for the original X-Box live service (it lasted years until I finally got caught for the name violating the terms of service). How it came about originally? Drunk and trying to figure out a gamer tag so I could kill some motherfuckers.
RolyPoly 01.29.20	Not so much the point, more so that it's INCREDIBLY easy to not be a piece of shit. But, I digress. The site is full of edgy losers, dont bother
budgie 01.29.20	fuck this site
Egarran 01.29.20	I think roly pointed that out in a kind of shitty way though.
madrigal30 01.29.20	3rd grade. my username came from roman choral music tho
Source 01.29.20	"The site is full of edgy losers, dont bother" ok zoomer
SaveBandit 01.29.20	The Office is my favorite show, so I literally just grabbed the first obscure reference I could think of and ran with it. It's been my username on a handful of things for the past year or two.
budgie 01.29.20	was that during the episode where dwight faked a fire event? oh man i love dwight
SaveBandit 01.29.20	Yeah haha Angela throws her cat through the roof and yells "SAVE BANDIT!".

butt. 01.30.20	wow. I've seen that episode at least 20 times, how did I never make the connection. Christ.
butt. 01.30.20	I ONLY WEIGH 82 POUNDS!
SaveBandit 01.30.20	Easily one of my favorite scenes in the whole show. Like when Stanley has a heart attack and Michael keeps yelling at him "BARACK IS PRESIDENT! YOU'RE BLACK STANLEY!"
cold 01.30.20	boom roasted
SaveBandit 01.30.20	Merideth, you've slept with so many guys you're starting to look like one. Boom roasted.
madrigal30 01.30.20	i have never been able to suffer thru the secondhand cringe of the office long enough to watch a full season of it let alone the whole show
cold 01.30.20	Sucks to be you
madrigal30 01.30.20	it truly does, i just wanna get the references
R6Rider 01.30.20	Back in ‘06 I got my first motorcycle - Yamaha R6. I’ve hated the name ever since and should have shortened it to R6 back when the core guys here were doing it to their screen names.
Divaman 01.30.20	My wife is a singer. She's the diva, and I'm her man.
madrigal30 01.31.20	i just thought yr superpower was sass

notagenius 02.02.20	my sputnikname is "notagenius" while people also me myself think it is "not a genius", actually it has a hidden meaning which stands for "not only talking about (the) genius" as a motto for myself to do my own stuff while talking about others' achievement.
sixdegrees 02.02.20	not dream theater
notagenius 02.02.20	hehe
Egarran 02.02.20	A beekkake if you will
Scheumke 02.04.20	There we go, updated the list ;). Tried to find something interesting for everyone, if you get a few giggles out of it I'm a happy camper.
neekafat 02.04.20	I once had a dog (a beautiful Siberian husky) named Neeka and she was a bit chunky in her later years
madrigal30 02.04.20	awwwwww husky :)
