I usually use either "swazoo" or "koolak".  I invented the name "Swazoo Koolak"
several years ago when I needed some test data.  Somewhere along the line I
started using it as my pseudonym.

Sometimes I use "pribanic" or "zvonko".  The name "Pribanic Zvonko" actually
appeared in the San Francisco phone book once.
