Your title was the pseudonym of one of the writers at the late, lamented Suck.com. Magdalena Donea, who was once very high profile on the web indeed, consistently uses the alias "urlgirl." So it's not so much a question of "catching on," as "has already been passed by." The net equivalent of "23 skiddoo," if you will. Not that that'll stop me. :) I’ve heard it pronounced that way (and have said it that way myself) since at least 1997.
