How Came You By That Handle?

maxcelcatHey All, it's Friday, I'm bored, so I thought I'd start a pointless thread here.
Simple question:
Maxcelcat is an extremely obscure character in the original radio series of The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. So obscure that he gets mentioned once, and doesn't get a line! Somewhere in this episode. And it turns out I spelled it wrong - should be "maxelcat". I was actually using it as a nickname way before I got online, and weirdly it's proved to be completely unique everywhere I use it. If you see that username somewhere, it's me. Hotmail, gmail, forums, blogging sites, everywhere. I even own www.maxcelcat.com.
(Interesting. Just done a search for the "correct" spelling. Someone else is using that handle in some forums... Impostor :-)
So, why are you called what you are?
