I was going through my Wii Friend Code list today to update it, etc. I decided to update VGRev (i.e. VGRevolution) to her current name, Golden Phoenix. Unfortunately, her name is stupidly long and won't fit in the Wii's horribly short 10-character limit. So I went with Golden P. After I paused for a few seconds to laugh I decided to go with G Phoenix. True story.
On a similar note, last year when I was entering everyone from the forums I got stuck on Couch Monkey for a while. At first I went with C Monkey but eventually settled on Couch Monk.
Regardless, I hate long handles that can't be easily abbreviated.
