Colloquially used to express disbelief.

I choose Bartimeus because of a book I read in my youngth. It is called "the bartimeus trilogie" and the author (Jonathan Stroud) is juste amazingly funny. Bartimeus is a medium level Djin who can change appearance at will, and has lived for a few thousand years so far.
In this world, the magicians have taken over the government for quite some time. those have no magical power, but know how to summon and bind a demon (foliot, djin, afrit) to their will.
But bartimeus has got much wits and tries his best to always misinterpret his orders.
(for example, if you order him to make sure someone never hurts you, he will most likely think killing you himself is the best way to achieve this)
His appropriate uses of small notes on the bottom of pages makes the book unusual and very pleasant.

edit; I also called my rabbit "bartimeus"

Dogbert - it is so plain it's dull.

i always loved the character and the comics. i've even used to be an active reader of the blog (before my daughter came around) 

whenever i have to write a nick it's either Foamy, Squirrely Wrath, Zen Of Anger, or plain Dogbert.

i never played online games, and at first i thought i would not last here a week. so i did not care for the name. now i'm definetly would have chosen something more interesting.

my second acount, long gone, was in fact Foamy.

i also had a third, Elfbert (which further proves how uncreative i can get), before i knew it was illegal and stopped using it.

some random guy is a great name to confuse someone with.  for instance, "some random guy is a b*st*rd" says bob.  "what random guy?" fred respondes.  "some random guy!" bob exclaims.  this leads to an abbot and costello type situation that can go on for an indefinite period.  this works to my advantage in this type of game, when people are having their abbot and costello conversations, I'm either letting my armies sneak away into the shadows, or I'm adding to the confusion by razing the opposition's cities into oblivion.  
"fred sits among the rubble of his ruined city. " oh! that some random guy!"  he says, seconds before passing out."

some random gal is the same thing.

Dunno why i choose mine, Although i first started playing Tribal wars *goes bright red* yes i did play that. Emphasis on the did.
I named my town Fateful Begginning and my paladin Fateful Ending, As it was my first town, and my paladin was the last thing a lot of people saw... Until I got eaten.
and it just stuck, I Haven't found it else where so far, and if i have it actually turns out to have been me at some other point.
