**Woops** · 13th December 2002

When I moved to Warrington in the early 80's there was an advert on TV for Scotties tissues. The tag line was "Woops, Scotties". I was from Scotland so in an amazing flash of original inspiration my school mates christend me "WOOPS". Tada

**lampshade** · 14th December 2002

The name just kinda popped into my head one day when I was joining napster, when I suggested it o the "ball and chain" she said it was the stupidest name ever.

So I used it just to fvck her off

I used to get called 'snake' for some reason - that was already taken so i modified it a bit

**sonar** · 14th December 2002

one of my friends decided I looked like a dude, who's nickname was snoop, so he called me scoop, and for some crock reason another friend thought it sounded like sonar. It stuck, and i've had a few teachers call me that as well.

Stupid story, but i like the nick.

**big man** · 14th December 2002

I normally go by the nickname 'Gizmo', but i fancied a change.

I decided to go with 'big man' as i'm 6'7" tall and weigh in about 19 stone.

I think that about covers it

**Tammer** · 14th September 2003
