How'd you get your name?

[SweetPeaPod]

How did you come across your name?
was it given to you, or is it personal?
-obviously excluding those who go by their real name.

Did you have previous names or did you have several?

What made it stick?

[DJ DL-44 Profile Website]

I am DJ DL-44 because I am not a DJ and also not cool.

[djtheblade Profile Website]

I don't know where I came up with dj the blade, it sounds like a miami bass producer. I hated it and i've given it up.

Lytton on the other hand has a story, he's basically a character from classic Doctor Who, he only had two appearences but he's double hard and cool as fuck. My other brief aliases:

. Sex offender - No real story there (I swear)
. Lab assistant - My old job title
. Rassilon - More Doctor Who characters
. Dr Abadad - Some spoof Islamic extremist character

I came up with Feutus Lapdance in a train with a friend of mine, Geert Oosterhofhe, he is a comic writher.
Whe where looking for titels for Comics. Like..... little organ salesman....The title lets jou visualise a smal story. Al good titels do...
So whe where looking for some words combinatsions that had strong story potential.
1 of the best things we came up with was Feutus Lapdance.

Stazma is the reverse of my first producer name when I was just starting to making music on Fruity Loops. I was registered on a forum of FL user and I was listenning to Puppet Mastaz when made the inscription.
So a little bit latter I have switch to Stazma and add The Junglechrist, that is a nickname that one of my best female friend had give to me when I was dressed like this in a party :

[producer_snafu Profile Website]

i was listening to the radio in 1998 based in LA, there was this dj that went by the name of Kennady, she used to host MTV's Alternative Nation, she said "hey folks, we are experiencing a snafu at the moment, for those of you that don't know what a snafu is it means "the state of utter confusion"

i always thought that sounded cool, so upon 2001 when i first started using Soulseek, i would go to the lobby and ask people to download my songs, this British dude liked them and told me that i should come up with a name, so i told him snafu, he said he liked it but that i should add something else to it, "Producer Snafu" kind of like a take on being "dj so-&-so".

later i come to find out as i am talking to another dude on soulseek who then informs me after telling me that he likes my name that snafu really means "situation normal all fucked up" which was a WW!! acronym.

it was gonna be either snafu or "Phooey"

[SweetPeaPod]

Ever since 1997, i spun hardcore as Cheomap.
Cheomap was a character in "Dagger of Kamui" also titled,
"Revenge of the ninja warrior" - to this day, i can't get my hands on a copy.
Cheomap was a modest character that received a shuriken from a friend..
at one point, Cheomap was confronted with the Shogun. The Shogun wanted Cheo to turn in his friend. instead of that, Cheomap killed himself with the Shuriken gift... - honor y'all

it wasn't until 2004 that i started making shit.
in 2007 i was:
SweetPeaPod - My highschool sweetheart used to call me that 'bout 17 years ago... was reunited with her in 2006, she kept calling me that, so it stuck and i decided to just go by that.
i still introduce myself as Cheo tho.

[kosmonavt Profile Website]

my uncle always compares things that are really small with amoeba turds(amoebe poepjes)

I liked the sound of that, but removed the turd.
AMOEBA was born

there wasn't even an artist that already used that name(on last.fm at least)

I'm thinking of releasing my next release as
BORIS CLITORIS
