I think I would have been Shaggos the Corny. People would have seen through the Corinthian schtick a bit too easily.

Fear the Cornians!
Well Plato had to be with Socrates as they where student-teacher.
So you would be either named by a musical instrument or from a location in Cyprus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kornos,_Cyprus , you did not like the thriving Corinthian community and you wanted to honk.OOookk.
