On this game basically you have to type in each letter of your current name in order until wikipedia suggests the closest alphabetical match, if you go past the matches just remove a letter. If there are multiple alphabetical matches click the first article that appears.
I'll start:
Torchickens (GCL username) and (Pokemon UK forums which I quit several years ago)
Closest match = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torchick#Torchic
comment: Torchick with an additional k redirects to list of pokemon?! I don't see why…
Chickasaurus (Various places including serebii and my runescape account name [cough] )
Closest match = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickasaw
comment: Interesting, apparantly only 38,000 people are of this linguistic group
ChickenNooby (My runescape account name after new display names update, shame I can't change back until 31st October and it takes your original username off the highscores ftl)
Closest match = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken
comment: I'm not surprised :D

It was supposed to be the closest match according to the suggestions that came up in the search bar (before you click search) but equally weird you get a footballer named Zach Thomas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zach_Thomas O_o
