I agree that it is not an actual name.  It seems to be a reference to phrase
commonly used amond younger black americans, "N*****, please".  I would bet the
person in question is indeed black and didn't think about that the fact some
people do find the phrase offensive, even if he himself does not.  In any event,
I  would say he should use his real name when posting here.
