The Origin of your NZM screen name

The day we all decided to sign up to NZMusic.com we all had to do one thing: Sign Up. This includes making a screen name for ourselves which is preferably an alias and something more interesting than our normal day to day name.

No one has the same name, they either have one or don't (if your a lurker that is!). But the question of this is how did you get your NZM name? Was it out of an obsession of a band? Your own name? Or just something random. Now is the time to share with us your origin!

Forums: The Bar,

i like to lull the dumbfucks who believe in a god into a false sense of security

I think you can work it out for yourself

I think I'm in your boat. We're Label Bashers.

do you know that Tama & Ibanez are made by the same company??
Then we're Label Brothers ;)

Tama have you ever considered making your own drum kit?

But I think my nickname is kinda lame, I've used it ever since I join the net about 6 or 7 years ago.
I should shorten it to Tama, since thats what everyone calls me on the net.

I'm not a trademan, I know nothing about building things with wood & metal,
so I don't think I could build a drum kit.

I'm not a tradesman, yet I still managed to build a geetar

But I did get alot of help from my retired masterbuilder grandfather

i got this account from my current bands singer as he didnt want it anymore, this is my bands stage name, i personally dont like it but cant change it now:S

howd you get youre Achilles?

My name AchillesHeel is taken from a line from one of my favourite Placebo songs "Special K" that goes "You're my new achilles heel". I wanted to call myself achilles libertine but it was too long and i needed something a bit shorter and achilles heel was the next best choice.

I knew that would be why!

Been there, done that.

mega, you old hand you...

Hmmm, I re-read & it kinda sounds like I'm dissing this topic. I meant I can't be stuffed typing the explantion again. I think it's a good idea to have this again, it's interesting.

haven't we had this topic before?

as for my username, i prefer not to embarrass myself and tell how it originated.
i could make up some good lies though if anyone decides to pressure me :P

*pressure*

I'm pressuring you.

Sorry guys! I wasn't a member when that topic took place anyway disregard this then. Well when you try to break the ice with a new topic its always been done before! oh well.

that topic was in april of last year, 10 months ago with just under 1000 new members, with new stories.............

pity i missed out, i joined in may and back then i wasn't an active regular.

Also taken from a song....

"And it's back and forth all day like Red and Meth
I joke when I say I'm best, in the booth,
but a lot of truth is said in jest" "Say What You Say" Eminem

I totally agree with that Statement "a lot of truth is said in jest"
so much so that it became my screen name...

I am actually a program authored by Martin Diehl, Michael Jünger, Volker Kaibel, Thomas Lange, and Gerd Reinelt in 1993. I think in blobs of colour.

and what the fuck do all those purty pictures mean?

You should get a 1st prize for that story.

Hehe, Dust, it doesn't take a genius to online stalk...uhhh... i mean, research & see where you names from.

hey, köln... thats where i was born :)

hey, köln, that's where I hope to go at the end of the year, cos my friend Jordan is there.

It's my real name

riiiiiiiight...

Jenni is my real name with a smiley face on the end [sort of started using it on the zed message boards a couple of years ago]. i don't really like my NZM name, i want to change it to Jenni_Punk - my OTHER screen name.

Jenni Punk is the shortened version of 'Jenni_Punk_Is_Broken' - had some online friends who called me punk or punkette for a while, so i adopted it from there. I went tramping one weekend and managed to sprain my ankle quite badly walking along a river bed - when i got home the same friends asked how my trip went i replied "Jenni Punk Is Broken".....of course Jenni Punk Is Broken is too long, so i changed it to Jenni Punk.

usually just Acid... personality trademark or flaw

the late, great music venue....

well in the 8 foot sativa song "before your suffering" at the end of every verse justin is screaming the word

and i wanted a 1 letter name to, so it worked both ways :)

blame my parents.

Well if anyone wants to know the real reason...

A good friend of mine calls me peaches because of my 'english complexion' hmmm...and then one day i was telling my friends why i get called peaches but i was in a nutty mood and just screamed peaches head. I don't understand what i had originally meant to say, but it came out awfully wrong and i found it very funny at the time... it's stuck and i use it for everything because it's the only screen name i have that i ccan remember...

From the Shirelle's song ;). Also cause my fave Smiths album is Meat Is Murder (you'd know what I mean if you've seen its cover).

It's my colour baby!!

excuse me?

I'm prepared to share the lurve

come on theres nothing wrong in sharing!

yep sounds good we can be two peas in a pod... get it... coz they're green

when we went through the munch bunch nick-name phase, I got peapod...

That's my name, don't wear it out.

Everytime I hear that it reminds me of that scene from Grease.

Good scene - quite uncomfortable to watch. You're just going "hey dickhead, be nice to the sweet girl..." then she gets all hurt and cries and Danny look forlorn...

Ah, Grease....

"Danny?"
"Sandy!!!"
"What are you doing here I thought you're going back to Australia"
"We had a change of plans"

Got to love that shit.
Grease is the word, is word that you heard

My Dad discovered an undersea volcano in the South Pacific and got to name it. Then I came along. Apparently we have some things in common.

//My Dad discovered an undersea volcano in the South Pacific and got to name it. Then I came along.

Maybe he was inspired teina.

I'm not very original or creative. I just used my name. Sophie was gone, and Soph, and Sophy, and other variatons so I just shoved an underscore in the middle of it.

I'm terrible at coming up with names that don't suck.
