I once used a very different name online for many years. Alas, I got tired of it by the time I got to university, and decided a new one was in order. After all, the old one had a z, and we all know the letter z takes away all credibility from a name that it's in. =P
I really liked the name of the movie Clockwork Orange, and wanted something similarly random. Eventually I decided on Baroque Goldfish, which was nice enough, but too long for many services, and ended up getting cut to just Baroque.
Then on December 5. 2005 (it's still in my IRC logs), a friend of mine called me Parokki. The Finnish word for baroque is barokki, and changing the b into a p makes it sound really stupid. The letter b doesn't appear in any native Finnish words, so I guess not knowing how to say it is stereotypical for uneducated rural folk.
Not sure why, but after a few weeks I was using it almost exclusively. Guess it stuck to me or something. =/
