i vote for the guy Nimzovitch the author of My System.. His name is intimidating all by itself.  "Who are you playing tomorrow Joe?"  " Im playing that guy Nimzovitch."    "Awwww sheeee."

I think these 3:

José Raúl Capablanca (sounds like a count or something)

Hiraku Nakamura (probably cause im an anime fan and sounds like a Naruto character)

Magnus Carlsen, (the name, Magnus sounds like big, Magna -cum laude-, magnanimus)
