Why don't you use PSYC as an IRC replacement? It's IRC compatible.. even lets jabber users in and defines the nickname namespace as local to each user.
People have a psyc://my.trusted.server/~nick identification which is unique, once you know the person you will only be shown the nick. If the nick collides with an other you can rename the user within your personal namespace.
And you get to use your favorite IRC or jabber client even though PSYC is a totally different conferencing protocol.
