I think I know! Heh.
I;m sure at least two dopers know mine!
Never read it, and it has nothing to do with the Evil Dead movies. And pachocco? Life would be so much easier for all of us if your research methods didn’t consist solely of typing a phrase into Google and hitting the I’m Feeling Lucky button. 
No, my nick is hard to guess because it was indirectly inspired. Figuring out what inspired it not only requires knowing my habits and likes, but also possessing an encyclopaedic degree about them. My posting history might help a little … if you have a near-eidetic memory or are an ubergeek.

Could it be pidgin English for a nasty bug in a Chinese restaurant?
Ah! I was going to go with that spelling too, and now I look like a total fool. But oh well, you learn something new everyday. Cheers, down by law
I think mine is an even more obscure Simpson’s reference.
Bodhi is also, of course, the name of the tree at Bodh Gaya under which the Buddha sat on the night he attaindd enlightenment.
Not too obscure by Thursday Next is the heroine of the Jasper Fforde books: The Eyre Affair, Lost in a Good Book, etc
Do you have brothers called Blood & Guts, perhaps?
Man, do I feel invisible. What do I have to do, drop anvils on your heads?
sigh Maybe it’s just that no one thought my name was obscure enough? Yes I’m sure that’s it. 
You want obscure? How about Bodhi as the name of the glowing ball thingy from the movie Solarbabies? That awful movie on roller skates. It did have a hot young Adrian Pasdar in it though.
I believe Hazel-rah is a Watership Down reference. Is Marlitharn, too? I’ve actually been looking for my copy of the book for a few weeks to reread it, I’m a bit rusty on it.
Not at all, but it might be a little adVanced for some here.
I’m considering changing my name to Little Hunchback and giving my location as The Office.
Feel free to find the reference. I don’t think it’s *too *obscure.
I always get a mental picture of you in a helicopter.
Mine’s probably not that obscure–it has been recognized in at least one previous thread.
yoyodyne, as long as we’re almost on the subject, is it Pynchon or Banzai?
Banzai. Along with Emilio Lizardo.
Fretful Porpentine is a reference to Hamlet. It’s also a jibe used by Claire to Jamie in one of the Diana Gabaldon Outlander books. When I guessed, I guessed the latter, and of course it was the former.
Alessan is also a character in Anne McCaffrey’s Pern series.
Mine actually comes to me in a very roundabout way. Linda Ellerbee once referred to her former broadcast partner Lloyd Dobyns as “a ham on wry.” A friend said that described me, as well. Then she said she liked my short stories because they were “slice of life.” Thus was born my webpage, “A Slice of Life on Wry.”
Here ya go:
Mine’s a reference.

No comment from here on out. . .
Just in an attempt to get extra-credit super double-dog esoteric points: it’s technically from the villain as portrayed in my favorite Cartoon Network commercial (“Solomon Grundy want pants too!”), which was based on the villain as portrayed in the Superfriends, which was based on the comic book character, which was named after the nursery rhyme.
And people keep telling me that he was originally a Green Lantern villain, and I just have to nod and say “okay.” Because I’ve never seen a comic book with Solomon Grundy in it. (Except for that one 12-part holiday killer Batman series that came out a couple of years ago, where he was in one issue. And also an issue of Starman, now that I think about it.)
Back to the OP:
I don’t think anyone’s yet mentioned Torgo, who was a character from the movie Manos: The Hands of Fate and a favorite of MST3K fans everywhere.
Feels like it sometimes, but no 
“AULIYA: In the Zensunni Wanderers’ religion, the female at the left hand of God; God’s handmaiden.”
Obscure religious sect in Frank Herberts ‘Dune’
Also from the Koran “auliya” means friend or helper or protector.
