Actually, why doesn't he?
It's your name, you can be silly.

Of course, looking like a rogue and having a name of "Nick Stuff" could draw WAY more attention to you and make it more difficult to steal stuff.

The joke is that, according to Gygax, most of the people with spells or magic items named after them (Bigby, Otiluke, Mordenkainen) were characters in his home campaign when D&D was still in its early stages. Melf's player named Melf after the closest thing he saw, which happened to be "Gender: M. Class: Elf."

If you make your name an anagram nobody can stop you from doing anything you want.

I am playing a half-orc barbarian gourmand butler who protects the kittenfolk family that raised him after finding him in the wild. His name is an anagram for Geoffrey Butler from The Fresh Prince but nobody has caught on yet.
