In all his social networks and video games, Prego used the name "Wisma", with which his friends knew him. However, when creating his YouTube account, he could not put it because only names with 8 characters were allowed, so he decided to add a few more characters and create the new name, "Wismichu".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cocacolaespana.es/historias/por-que-youtubers-se-llaman-asi |title=La historia detrás de los apodos de tus YouTubers preferidos |first=Miquel |last=Corbí |date=4 August 2016 |access-date=12 October 2018 |work=Coca-Cola |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180315134349/https://www.cocacolaespana.es/historias/por-que-youtubers-se-llaman-asi |archive-date=15 March 2018|language=es}}</ref>
