I'm reaching back into ancient history, but back in the day, at least in chat, Rimbaud was heir to some creative spelling. The French name just seemed to lend itself for play with letters.

Rimbough
Rimbô
Rimkû
(Lush) Rimbaugh
Rymbow
Rimbaud
Rimsky
Rimbaudelaire
Baudebaud
Rimbod

Come to think of it, Rim-ba-da-bim would have been a good one. Likely that was used, too.

Spelling in chat is such a contentious issue.
