In -94 or so, I was playin a MUD called BatMud. My first character was named like "Yyyyeeaaaargghh" or something silly like this. Eventually, I forgot how many 'y's and 'e's and 'a's, there was, so I was unable to login and the admins were unable to help me because I didn't know my character name.
In this game, there were random lines or text which indicated that your spell had failed. One of the was "Your spell fizzles." I thought the Fizzl part looked funny, it was short and it would be impossible to forget, so I created a new character with that name. I dropped the 'e' at the time, as I wasn't familiar enough with the English language to know that it was part of the root word instead of the inflection.
So, here I am, 20 years later, still using the same name everytwhere.
I am like the easiest person to dox and find embarrassing stuff about :)
