How did they come up with the name blink-182?

Tom originally came up with the name Blink, he berkata it stood for Boys Lusting Incredibly Nude Kids, and that he used to think it was hilarious.

They changed it to Blink-182 because of the Scottish band Blink, the 182 is the number of time Al Pacino says the work "fuck" in the movie Scarface.

They were going to call themselfs blink but they found out that there was scottish techno band with that name and added 182

simple.at first they wanted to be called Blink,but didn't want to get sued oleh an Irish band with the SAME name.So they added the 182,which according to wikipedia spanish,the 182 represents the number of times the word "f**k" was berkata in Scarface.THATS HOW BLINK182 CAME UP WITH THIER NAME

Buffys pretty much right, but to add to it, Tom likes short one syllable words. lol

Tom, Mark, and Travis were originally known as just "Blink" until a Japanese band already named Blink threatened to sue if they did not change their band name. Therefore, 182 was added. The three say 182 was the amount of times "f***" was berkata in Scarface.

its the amount of times the word f*** is berkata in the movie scarface
this is what ive been told

Mark and Tom were skateboarding and Tom came up with blink. There was a band with the same name so they had to add the 182. The number has no significance. They just picked a acak number and they made up different stories for how they got it. Really, it was just random.

If anda have to ask this now, anda ain't a real fan.

its actually because their name means f**k RB. rancho bernardo highschool. R is the 18th letter of the alphabet and B is the 2nd. they went to poway and one of them went to RB high. and i go there so i know this

They first choose there name to be Blink when Mark and Tom were skateboarding Tom said" how about Blink?" but they were threatened oleh a Irish band named Blink if they didn't change there name they would sue. So they choose the number 182 because in the movie Scarface they say the "F" word 182 times

they came out with the name blink the night that they were skating according to every interview

Why are y'all mentioning the Scarface thing? 182 is NOT the amount of times fuck is berkata in Scarface. It's way way way lebih than that.

Mark confirmed that 182 was just the first number that came to mind when he got the call from the record label about the Irish band "Blink" threatening copyright blah blah blah.

"What are anda gonna change your name to?"

"Uh.. Blink 182?" And so it was Blink 182 from then on. Literally no reason.
