To be honest “Koba” is so much easier to remember than “Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili” or Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili" if you’re talking about a distant clandestine acquaintance.
Still funny though. Double so that they had to go down the comm line just to ask “dude what was your name again?”
That was intentional. i looked it up when I found out the character had that name and it is meant to reflect the “revolutionary who goes too far”. because of course
Also, wasn’t Koba a georgian folk-character? Like it’s a name that was associated with Georgia, so at most not knowing his lastname would have gotten “Ioseb from Georgia” in trouble.

Isn’t koba the name of the bad ape in planet of the apes

A book character I believe. A knight of righteous vengeance I think if I remember the book summary correctly
it’s also a common nickname here for anyone named “Iakob”, the Georgian version of “Jacob”.
