Origin of User Names?

Way back in 1995 when I got my first PC and internet service a friend was telling me about chat software called Pirch, he spelled it for me and everything.

I mistook the software name for his nickname in said chat software. So I took a similar fish, modified the name by taking out the "e" so my friend could find me in the chatroom.

It all made sense later on after I got my 28.8 modem hooked up and got the thing turned on but when he was explaining all of it, I was very confused.
