Bubba was just some silly name that came into my mind when creating an account somewhere years ago. At the time it sounded funny so I just used it as I made new accounts for different games. And no, I don't know if I had even seen Forrest Gump before I started using it so it doesn't come from there. Now I even find it quite funny that a white Finnish guy is using a nickname that is best known from a black American guy.
And Then, my new nick, Spete. Fellow Finnish people might get the reference even without mentioning it, but Spede Pasanen (usually just Spede) was a famous Finn comedian and comedy actor. And as my IRL nickname is Pete, sometimes when I did something stupid/was just goofing around, my friends called me Spede or Spete. And now that I started at a university and got numerous new friends, I decided to start using a name I'm easier to recognize from. And I guess someone has already called me Spede here also. ;D
Cool. I'm going to expect far more jokes from you now then, although if they're in Finnish I won't understand them anyway, so you can just tell me they're funny and I'll believe you ;D
I've always thought that Bubba was used more amongst white Southerners in the US though, so maybe they were having a bit of a joke in Forrest Gump if they gave that name to a black guy. Been ages since I've seen that film, so I might have to dig it out and watch it again sometime soon.
