I recently came across this eggcorn for “also known as†on a YouTube video, where the song is described as “Harvey Danger – Fiagpole Sitta “other none as” I’m Not Sick But I’m Not Well!â€. Other examples:
“”The Mucha” other none as samantha†(from http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p … =The+Mucha)
“Daiman Wayne, other none as the fourth Robin†(from http://www.quotev.com/story/7092561/The-Death-Of-Damian)
“Tails the orange fox or other none as miles†(from http://bnb35.tripod.com/wwwsmashampsoniccom2/id4.html)
“Sneaker: Other none as flankers†(from http://www.moddb.com/mods/crysis-advanced-ai)
“Dark one (other none as vampire)†(from http://www.amazon.com/review/R21O5MQSQUJ4CF/)
It doesn’t appear to be particularly common but it’s a curious one.

What’s also interesting is “other” instead of “also” or “otherwise”.
