Yeah, the first time I signed into a dial-up BBS it asked me for a handle. I was 13 and didn't realize I'd have to make one up. I looked down and my GWBasic manual was sitting in front of me, so I became GWBasic. I didn't put much thought into it, but I really, really liked the name and kept using it. I still have my GWBasic manual on the shelf, too. I think I claimed "gwbasic" on Hacker News years ago but lost the password. It looks like the username is freed up, but I don't want to loose my karma.
