The nickname explanation thread ! — Forum Archive

2 Aug 2002, 13:08

Yes, it was time someone do it. Explain why you're using that nasty nickname!

Myself, Spotnick, back in 1990, when I discovered what was a modem, I was connecting to the school BBS (Bulletin Board System running on the WWIV bulletin board system), and when I was asked for an alias, I had a good one thinking about it.

The first draft was aweful, and I found Spotnick the next day, which is a name I found by using my own nickname (Nick, which comes from my first name Nicolas), and it was my way of spelling the russian satellite Sputnik back them, until I realized, I prefered the sound of it, so I stuck with it.

It's also quite near a New Order song, which I didn't know back then, so it's not too bad for a New Order fan.

But through the years, the internet came, and by having a nickname I created myself, I was able to surf easily, but somehow, there is people in the world with the same ideas that I have I guess, because I've seen plenty of Spotnick around. I also discovered last year that there was a Swedish group called The Spotnicks..!!

In 1998, I registered spotnick.com, the site is still from my 1998 way of coding HTML, so it sucks, and it's quite bad, I mostly use the email and I have sub-directories for personal stuff.. NewOrderOnline was hosted there (www.spotnick.com/temptation) back then, now, spotnick.com points to NewOrderOnline.com, so it gives you the idea ;)

So, that's the little story behind it.

Nice one Nicos

I've explained this before - but I'll do it one last time;)

Shug is a Scottish nickname fer anyone called Hugh, and in Scotland, Hugh is one of the most common names.....it can be quite annoying when yer at a Celtic game, and someone shouts out Shug....you can't help but look around, even though there's probably another couple of thousand people being referred to as Shug :lol: Down in England there are hardly any Shug's - Corby probably has a few - but I wouldn't thought there'd be that many anywhere else doon here;) The ZV comes from my brother John....a lot of people called me Shug, Shuggy, Shugs or Shugsy - so fer the Shugsy name you just add the Z....hence ShugZ - the V part of the name came from Ruudi Voeller, when I was younger I was top goalscorer for every team I played for from the ages 8-16, and I think it was during the 1990 World Cup, when a few of us used to play footy at our local field - John called me Voeller.....as he scored a few and also had more than a tint of red in his hair :lol: So the nickname ShugZ Voeller was born....then edited a while later again by John, when I had given him a New Order compilation tape....on it he put...A ShugZV edit. That's the full story of this wee nickname of mine....and that'll be the last time it's explained....it takes far too long......espescially when yer a lazy bastard like moi;)

Wilson gave Ian Curtis a tape of Frank Sinatra to listen to as inspiration whilst they recorded Closer...and written on the run-off is "Old Blue?".

I've been using WenOrder since 95. when I signed up for aol and needed a screen name. Wen is what I use to tell people how to phonetically pronouce my last name Nguyen. Order, obviously is my way to tie in my favorite band. It was a couple years later I realized Wen is New backwards.

2 Aug 2002, 15:25

well...let's see...this one can be kind of interesting...I guess...

I was into Russian history in high school, and by the time I got to my last two years of college, I was majoring in history, and had to pick a specialty...and chose Russian and Soviet history...this Rasputin character was rather fascinating, and he has the additional plus of being on the cover of an Electronic album...so, the rest is, as they say, history...

2 Aug 2002, 15:27

I've seen a 12" titled "The Hacienda Must Be (re)Built" recently also....no connection to this mild progressive house tune then?

Geaux Hagen is simple...my Irish rooted surname is Geoghagan and being from Louisiana where the cajun's spell long O sounds with eaux as the suffix, i simple changed it from the normal spelling to the Cajun-ized Geaux Hagen. easier to pronounce and hopefully will keep me off of Google searches. It sucks to be contacted by rotten apples from the past because they found your info on Neworderonline through a simple internet search.

2 Aug 2002, 16:09

Has anyone read 'When The Lion Feeds' by Wilbur Smith...? Hmmm....'Blue Blood....

2 Aug 2002, 17:22

Mine is simply a contraction of my full names HUgh Adrian RoBERT MICKLE. Simple really. Besides, all my family and schoolmates always called me Hubert anyway, so it stuck. Funnily, even my girl Charley's name is just a nickname she got from school - her surname is Charleston and her proper first names are Amanda Kathryn - but I've always affectionately referred to her as simply "Charley".:)

Then I would look stupid trying to pronounce it in the US if I was there, we have plenty of vietnamese people in Montréal, 99% of them are called N'guyen or Nguyen, depends of the way they want to spell it. Common people pronounce the G, but other who knew any know it's a quiet G, so it's pronounced New-Yen over here..

Or maybe I didn't understand the correct way to say it ;)

Boring but its short for my full name Olivia, but you'd be surprised how many people don't know that....

2 Aug 2002, 20:01

well, i first used my nick name when i signed up for one of those sonicnet personal radio stations (really slow fookers too) and i named my station snucker. i was thinking of a brand of jam called smucker ( :shrug: dunno why) and decided to drop the m and put in an n. i thought it sounded pretty cool, sounded like a shoe brand. when i came here, i used snucker again, cuz i couldn't be bothered to think up of another unique name.

so it stuck, and now i usually use it on most NO related forums, unless i decided to go one of those discserver boards, i'd either use margaret or julie or julie doiron (julie doiron being a halifax singer-songwriter i used to like). i like to be annoyminous to such unestablished boards where nobody knows anybody. they can be real primitive, no smilies at all :nonono:

It depends on the person, but it is common in the states to have it pronouced wen or win, and I think it is the closest americanized way to pronouce it, but still not exact.

2 Aug 2002, 20:54

oh, got sick of snucker. gonna name myself after some hal hartley films, cuz he is one of the best indie film directors. plus, i get a lot of my signatures from him.

The Cartographer's Girlfriend Henry Fool Trouble and Desire Theory of Achievement

let's see how this works. snucker will be back soon.

My nickname stems from the fact that I love cookies, and Cookie Monster was one of my favourite characters on Sesame Street as a kid.... but i changed the Cookie part to Hooky so it has some relevance to N O

My mum's always called me flo/floss/flossie. Then my school mates (who'd never met my mum) started calling me auntie flo when they were wankered/in need of psychological support. have no idea why, but the name stuck anyway.

i have been told that i walk like bod, and look like his auntie ...

My nickname came from coming across the early title for Temptation. I liked it so much I started using it and it just stuck.

3 Aug 2002, 18:41

Realized that green could signify a few things (money, environment, youth, jealousy) that give it an enigmatic feel. Also, the fact that EGG is one of my fave songs doesn't hurt either.

No, I'm not a huge Scritti Politti fan either, but their rise from the Rough Trade indie days to having some chart hits in the US was nice to see.

PLANET EARTH IS BLUE AND THERES NOTHING I CAN DO!..... So my mate SHACK who knows me VERY well says i have to have a nickname for his RADIO SHACK...me being a fan and hence a SHACKETTE.So he says to me ..MICK you ARE always off your head and in a different UNIVERSE,Helps that i am a BOWIE fan.Therefore ROCKET MICK was born and MAD MICK bites the dust.But i wish i had a proper name like TREVOR,BILLY or RIO!:D ROCKET MICK :cool2: :redhat:

Well, mine is a bit convoluted but... :shrug:

My real name is Humberto but all my friends call me Huber or Hubert often pronouncing it the English (RP)way, it started as a piss take since I have always been a bit of an anglophile but somehow stuck with me.

When I first started posting here I decided to use it but then a certain bloke whose real name is Hugh decided to call himself Hubert (although he wouldn't name his offspring after me, not much consistency there is it?). Since his postings are so much relevant than mine I found myself perplexed by reading "Hubert said that" or "well said Hubert". For a time I posted as "Huber (Not affiliated with the Hubert Mickley Inc.)" but it was too long.

Not wanting to resort to litigation and since Hubert Mickley seems a nice bloke, is slightly older than myself and from his profile looks taller and stronger I decided to graciously concede defeat and add the Budvar bit of the name (but if you have ever tasted both Budvar and Budweiser you know which one is the real stuff :evil4: )

27 Mar 2003, 11:29

well, mine then... almanso is the name of my band, as you may already know. but where did the almanso came from in the first place? well, we decided to use it around 95. many names were there (vitraux, lysis, fruit of wearisomness, etc.). then I remembered a character on a quite famous michael landon´s tv show called "little house on the prairie", the story of laura ingalls wilder. laura´s husband was Almanzo Wilder. so we used almanso because we didn´t know it was with z instead of s. when we realized that it was too late to change it so we decided to keep it that way.

27 Mar 2003, 11:32

sorry, double post :P

27 Mar 2003, 11:47

I was oblivious to forum nicknames but then, when I bought 511, I just couldn't stop laughing at Steve's absurd T-shirt: an egg saying "I am oueuf"! So I've decided to use the equally absurd nickname "Je suis EGG", changing the french and english from the original and, in the same step, pay hommage to Everything's gone green: not my favorite Neworder tune, but the first sign of their trade mark sound! When the Gulf War Mark II began, I've then decided to use a nickname that would reflect my views on the subject: hence the "Everything's gone bizarre" monicker. Then, yesterday, and remembering the "Life's a beach" T-shirt that Hooky wore in the 80's, I've decided to give myself a brand new personality, still echoing Dubbia's antics...

27 Mar 2003, 12:28

I was just plain old mh (my initials in lowercase, which I like) but there was an mmh (who I believe was mostly famous for having recorded, pressed and released a forum posting in 1 day) so to avoid confusion I changed it to Majestic Head Swings which I got from the product literature that came with my remote control asian elephant.

Element 115:

A substance not (yet) discovered on Earth that is used in the propulsion systems of extra-terrestrial craft, and should appear as number 115 on the periodic table.

Basically produces gravity of the kind used to hold atoms together as opposed to the variety that holds us down or keeps planets in orbit. Allows the craft to bend and fold the space/time continuum and allows travel in a non-linear way, bending space around the ship instead of this ship travelling to a particular point.

No link to NO as such unless you want to see it as a "SUBSTANCE" that is Out Of This World. (Just occurred to me as I typed this!). Just had another thought: 115 is 511 backwards!

I've been told on occasion that I'm a little strange. I've yet to figure out why. :confused:

28 Mar 2003, 01:14

My former nickname, Substantial Republic of LowLifes was because I didn't want my real name being shown everytime I posted, so I just looked at the 3 closest CDs to me....No points for guessing which ones, though the first 5 guesses are free. I just found it to be too clunky and not memorable (I bet my new one is as well :laugh: )

Hence, even less creatively, I abbreviated (a couple of NOOLers dubbed me that I recall), and I added something that sounds high class, Greater Rochester (it's actually Lesser, in more ways than one) ;)

Yes please. Internet stalking is still happening out there, and I've put my name into a search engine more than once and found posts of mine that were intended for this community alone and not for a world-wide audience that is not members of this forum.

28 Mar 2003, 07:18

I spend ages pondering my nickname, but eventually I went with this. Clever, eh? :nod:

28 Mar 2003, 12:30

28 Mar 2003, 16:02

my last name is stevens and on a notorious car ride a couple of years ago 'no scrubs' by tlc came on the radio and my friend jeff tweaked the lyrics to say 'no i dont want no scrubbins, because scrubbins is a guy who gets no lubbins from me' and to my close friends i became 'bill scrubbins.'

we be scrubbins is just a little tweaking of 'we be clubbin' by ice cube. i'm so witty sometimes it blows my mind..

Mine is taken from a song title by a now defunct band called Prolapse.

I went under two Aphex Twin monikers a year or so ago when I first posted here but they were completely unpronounceable anyway, so I changed it to back to my real name Karl Gregory then got bored and decided to pop back in with a nickname only cos everyone else and their dog was doing likewise. Simple really.

I went to school with Pat from Prolapse, and may see him at the football tomorrow.

28 Mar 2003, 19:11

Whaaat? :eek:

Really? He's the balding one who's their second guitarist isn't he?

Sad that they split up a couple of years ago. Methinks they were always at each others throats. You can even sense the friction when they used to play live. Great underrated band, I have to say. Sound absolutely nothing like New Order, mind.

28 Mar 2003, 19:34

mine is a long story, but here goes:

it was my friend's 21st birthday and we were at a bar in greenwich village. she and i went to the ATM machine to restock, but she was so pissed from filling up on free shots of goldschlager from everyone in the bar that she didn't think she was going to make it to our destination. to stop her from passing out in the middle of bleecker street, i told her to imagine our walk as an important quest, and us as secret agents--if we don't make it to the ATM and back, our mission will fail. so we talked into our watches, giving each other support during our foray into the outdoors. we continued this farce in the bar where our friends picked it up, we started referring to each other as 'agent' whatever-our-last-name-was and we even bestowed the 'agent' moniker unto our cab driver that evening, as our birthday girl pleaded with him to not make any sudden stops whilst she lay across our laps, head out the window, trying not to vomit as we sped up broadway. 'agent selena, no sudden stops! no sudden stops!'

anyway, it's now more than seven years later and we are still the special agents. and i am agent wood.

28 Mar 2003, 19:37

Need i explain myself?

I couldn't think of anything else at the time. It's still sweet, it's me. I know no one else like me.

These girls in my film class were doing a directors project on David Lynch, and they weren't even going to mention Twin Peaks. So, to save myself from insanity, I lent them the pilot, most of the second season, and the Fire Walk With Me feature film. Then my teacher wanted to borrow some of it, and she hasn't given it back yet.
Damn preppies.

man, i remember when the first season was out, i was obsessed with it. my friends and i were flipping through the channels and just happened to come across the pilot episode. i watched all the episodes, then the repeats that summer, and then watched them again since i had recorded them. then they changed the night for the second season so it wasn't as easy for me to watch, and it lost something, as well. i didn't watch as many of them that season, and i was really disappointed with the film. that first season, though...it was really something. ahh, memories.

Ask 'em if they were going to mention his other TV series, On The Air, which lasted just 3 episodes on ABC.

29 Mar 2003, 01:19

i'm going to be different and do mine backwards if I had a nickname it would be Silver Charm after my all time favorite thoroughbred horse with the same name

29 Mar 2003, 14:08

well, i think we can all guess where the "586" portion of my name came from (it's been my favorite New Order song for 5 years), but the "film" piece is due to my love of the word - it's actually one of my favorites in the English language. i love the idea of a thin, translucent layer of substance, a film. i like films too, but it's the other meaning that really strikes a chord with me.

but i think the thing that inspired it is the Skinny Puppy song "Film." it's one of their short, instrumental tracks that's so incredibly mind-blowing and peaceful. it's truly beautiful, and it's one of my favorite songs.

and the combination of the the two components is just neat for me...because 586 is such an enigmatic song/concept for me, and the idea of film (as well as the aforementioned song) is really mysterious to me as well, for some reason. so it just seems like a really interesting concept for me, adding film to 586.

plus, it's a play on words, because "film" is synonymous with "video;" Video 5 8 6.

so that's my nickname! film586!

Yep, that's him. Didn't see him at the footy today, though he is a regular when in town. Often found in the Lamb and Flag as well, young Mr Marsden.

I is called what I is called due to a thread on here in the dim, distant past. It had something to do with It's Gary Shandlings Show and the applauding of obscure guests who are about as famous as Claire Sweeney.

Hats of to anyone who can find it.

Lady 21 is a song from Luxuria's 1988 album Unanswerable Lust. It consisted of Howard Devoto of Buzzcocks/Magazine fame, and Noko who is now in Apollo 440. Anyway, Howard has one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard and whenever I listened to that song I always wanted to be Lady 21. Plus my birthday is the 21st of March.

Lady 21

I was thinking of phoning The richest woman in the town The radio was playing nonsense And yes, the cigarette machine had broken down Watch yourself now, the lino's greasy It could surely kill Ever since they fixed the light in here This place has gone downhill

Now I'm running up the aisle On an endless train And when I try to sleep I dream the very same I am nothing, becoming nothing And nothing's to be done Then I'm falling in love With Lady 21

Press me to her tumbling beauty O gorgeous siren wraith! I may never know what hit But I'll leap with all of my faith I'll have her way with me And be delivered as it occurs She'll be smiling so happily I'll break my body on hers...

Put out the fetch candle If you're coming through And be my familiar spirit If you want to Deliver me unto my desire Deliver me unto my desire I'm up on the heights I'm still up on the heights...

Oh Howard. No one can write erotic lyrics like you.... :love2:

I know this is an old topic, but I've changed my nickname.

And it's all down to a group of railway workers who decided to form a football team called Newton Heath LYR in

1878

Can we ever thank them enough? :clap:

My new nickname comes from a pic in Select Magazine, September 93 issue (the one with the massive Neworder feature). Said pic features the original Little Louie statue with the caption "Monsieur Round& Round". I found it so corny I loved it instantly!

Sorry for that, Wen. I'll keep this one for a while, I promise. I get confused too when other NOOL'ers change their names!

Although i use my real name, my nickname is "Buffer". I got this in high school in metal class, we used metal polishers called buffers, they are basically small spinning wheels with long black spikey hairs on them. One of my friends compared my hairdo (Sid Vicious spike job) to these machines and the name has stuck ever since, but only my friends from high school use my nickname, everybody else (like my girlfriend, whose nickname funnily enough is "Buffy") use my real name.

Well, it's probably obvious, but....

I was talking to my cousin once, and mentioned something about New Order, but had a slip of the tongue and called them Blue Order. Then I couldn't remember their real name. It happened a couple of times, me absent-mindedly calling them Blue Order, so when I logged on for the first time here, it seemed like the obvious choice for me.

My name is Roberto and Robertão is something like "Big Robert" in Portuguese. I am Brazilian - Machado de Assis' country (the best writer ever on Earth).

Twist is the shortened form of Pyrtwist (pronounced peer twist). When I finally made the leap onto the WWW I had to come up with an email name. I mixed two of my favorite things--my Great Pyrenese dog and getting fucked up on drugs (twist). Steal a pinch from Pyrnet (site on the Pyrenese dog) and I came up with Pyrtwist. Most folks called me Twist anyway so I use that here. Online games I am TwistJG26.

My nickname conveys my inner self. I'm a severe guy when it comes to judging people or people's acts. I just try to keep up with my moral principles and my view of life. That's all. :shrug: All the best, I.S.

My first nickname here was "Fitter Flabbier" which was true cos even though I'd lost a lot of weight recently, I became fitter by actually putting a bit more on...if you get my drift. I now weigh about 13 stone which I spose is average for someone who is six foot one in height.

This was then changed to "By Eck! My Neck!" cos it was something I'd imagine someone from Rochdale would probably say if they twisted it slightly whilst having sex with their other half..... ;)

Might be something to keep in mind considering I'm anything but organised...
