The Stanford AI Lab machine (SAIL) has long had three letter login
names.  Most people used their initials, and many people became known
more by their initials than by their names.  If the initials were
pronouncable, they were often used that way.  One of my good friends'
nickname is "drf" (pronounced "derf").
