"Scooter" has happened to me too...I guess it's no secret to anybody here that my real name is Scott also...long-time pixies have heard the story of my nick before, but for anybody that hasn't heard, I was dubbed Scotzoidman by a co-worker based on a song called "21st Century Schizoid Man" by 60s-70s era prog-rock band King Crimson...
The most annoying nick I got saddled with based on the name was when that dreadfully sacharine song, "Watching Scotty Grow" came out...I've been wishing for a slow, lingering, painful death for both Bobby Goldsboro & Mac Davis (who wrote that POS song) ever since, and used to forbid anybody call me "Scotty" until after my 40th b-day (isn't it interesting how one's perpestive changes at that point?)
