I once had a chat with Iain M. Banks about the lead character in the book. He wanted the name to sound like someone vomiting. He initially tried Boak but eventually settled on Gurgeh.

which, with no shortage of irony, I misread and should actually be "donzerly".

"Dozerly" is my favourite part of the Wiki page.

"Excuse me while I kiss this guy": Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. I think these are called mondegreens. There's a rabbit hole to disappear down here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegr...
