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?"
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.
it's also a common nickname here for anyone named "Iakob", the Georgian version of "Jacob".
