A lot of them, as Troynos suggested. Besides Pidel/Hard Drive, here are a few more I know for sure that I'd posted previously here and in other threads:
Bushido - Lloyd S. Goldfine (Sunbow Productions writer/producer)
Dusty - Ronald Tadur (surname is an anagram of "Rudat," the surname of Hasbro artist Ronald Rudat)
Freefall - Philip Arndt (Hasbro art director... currently works at Fisher-Price, IIRC)
Major Barrage - David Vennemeyer (Hasbro sculptor)
Rampage v2 - Walter McDaniel (Marvel comics artist)
The former presidents of the official GI Joe Fan Club also made it into toy form:
Big Brawler - Brian Mulholland
Sure Fire - David Lane
Additionally, there are at least two Joes intentionally named after celebrity fans of the toys:
Sneak Peek - Owen King (named after the son of all-time bestselling author Stephen King -- even the 1987 card art is based on Owen King's appearance at the time -- the real-life Owen King himself is now a professional writer)
Tiger Claw - Chad Johnson (Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, legally changed his name recently to "Chad Ochocinco")
