one of my pet theories was driven by a language observation. look at these two names written out side by side:

  Nick Szabo
  Satoshi Nakamoto
the writer in me looks at those two names and sees a kind of echo/mirror/rearrangement pattern, as if someone was either trying to give a clue as to their real identity, or, to mislead in a playful way

not decisive obviously. and might have been a coincidence. but if so its a weird one

In japanese, the family name comes first so they actually line up naturally

  Nick     Szabo

The same is true of Hungarian, which Szabo (“tailor”) comes from:
