What is "regomised"? [closed]

This recent "The Register" article uses a totally weird word I've never seen (emphasis mine):

Our story comes from a reader Regomised as "Felix" and takes us back to the early part of this century [...]

Being a non-native speaker of English I decided to ask here. I looked in two dictionaries (including one of the dead tree variety).

The use of the word in the sentence suggests it's a verb. The fact it starts with a capital letter, though, suggests otherwise. But looking at only:

... comes from a reader Regomised as "Felix" ...

... I'd still surmise that this must be a verb. The other option I pondered briefly was if it was a name/pseudonym (which conventionally start with capital letter in English), but that interpretation makes even less sense than assuming it is a verb.

When entering this in Google it assumed I was misspelling "recognized".

Is this an actual word, even slightly misspelled so that I cannot look it up or recognize it, or is this a mere spelling mistake?

Solution 1:

The Register itself uses the term Regomiser as a user name generator for its registration. If this contributor is a "reader Regomized as 'Felix,'" it would mean a reader registered and was reassigned that random name.

A search engine run on Regomiser gives more context of tech articles and suggests that it renames the user randomly.

I'm going out a on bit of a "verbing weirds language" limb for eytmology because aside from the Latin, I also see rego as Australian slang for vehicle registration, or
