To: Chuzzlewit
My name here at FR is from a dickens novel.

Martin Chuzzlewit, by name.

It should also be noted that other names that have come into common usage are also from Dickens: Uriah Heep, "Scrooge," Pecksniff, Artful Dodger ...

I have a complete collection of Dickens' works, and I make it a point to re-read at least one of them every year.
