Well, they don't hate me, but they do get tired of French people sounding out our shared username and then making jokes about it.

[-] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 19 points 10 months ago

Dude, you misspelled your name it should be: "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🫡 * in a very arrogant French accent*

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Le plus drôle c'est que je parle français. Très amusant, n'est-ce pas?

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Oh, and Talking Heads fans calling them "psycho killer."

Less than I hate the urologist who was supposed to prevent this.

They would probably find it pretty cringe

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Think about it though. In like 100 years, the irony will wear off, and you'll have Millers, Carpenters, Smiths, and fucking Gigachads. It'd work, it just might take awhile.

[-] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 20 points 10 months ago

My cats will be fine with it.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Did you try asking them? Ask them and please report back with their response

[-] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 6 points 10 months ago

Good idea. I just asked, one ignored me and the other begged for food. Verdict unclear.

You changed your name to latrine?

It used to be shithouse.

Good change!

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 11 points 10 months ago

Moderately irritated by having to explain "it's literally j j j all js like the word all J's but not this part" all the time

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

My kid would genuinely love it, it's right up his alley in terms of humor. My sense of humor is generally quite a bit darker, but I thought of it and it made me chuckle so I used it.

I just asked him what he thought of the username pooptart and he started giggling and went on an ADHD fueled set of concepts that ended with "what if you pooped a car?" But by then my own ADHD was only barely listening.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The name's P00ptart...

JAMES P00ptart.

[-] gnu@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 months ago

It's reasonably acceptable I guess, what people would hate me for is making jokes about getting a gnu name...

[-] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

It's literally "TheSloth", so I think we'll all be OK.

"No, that was not Zathras, that was Zathras. There are 10 of us, all of family Zathras, each one named Zathras. Slight differences in how you pronounce. Zathràs, Zathrás, Zathrâs.. You are seeing now?"

Babylon 5

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I don't have kids, but I imagine they'd be pissed to have to write out such a long name: Jennifer Grasshopper_Mouse? That shit would go aaaaall the way across the page.

It is the word for little bat in my language, so I'm good.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 7 points 10 months ago

Could go either way: Good sense of humor but it could still be a problem when it comes to being professional.

[-] dukeofdummies@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I get lots of compliments on my username. Came up with it in the 90s and I feel like it aged well.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 7 points 10 months ago

literally using my surname as my username RN

[-] ShyFae@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago

She would love it

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 6 points 10 months ago

Well, I'm gonna have to brush up on my Metroid lore.

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

They're going to be elated, hysterical, I'd even say!

Could be worse I guess, right /u/SatansMaggotyCumFart

[-] cryptTurtle@piefed.social 6 points 10 months ago

hopefully they like dead things

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

Mediocre audio sound quality compared to better codecs out there, but works on almost anything and the patents are expired.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

They wonder whether I shagged a devil or one of my ancestors did

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

The prophecy will come true and they'll die in the next Great Depression, aka, the "Big Sad", so yes they'll hate me. Or maybe if they like dark humor / are nihilist, they'll quite enjoy the username because at least the death would be a "username checks out" moment.

[-] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago

Having the name "to melt" in their native language is not the worst

This is basically what happened in the Netherlands in the past.

I once met a woman whose family name was Boschpijper. Bosch means bush and pijper means dicksucker.

Those nicknames were kind of a joke, but then they followed in official records, but nobody cared. Then, after some generations of them having been written down, they were suddenly something important. And now the family of Boschpijpers have carried their name with pride for several centuries.

[-] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Probably a bit weird, but it could have been much worse

[-] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 10 months ago

Up until the end of elementary school- they'll love it! From there on out they'll probably cringe so hard. After watching and enjoying Monty Python as grown-ups I think they'll like it again.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 5 points 10 months ago

They're cool with it.

[-] Oka@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

I've used this name in public as a new identity. I think once my kids know i used it as a form of self identity, they'd either partially adopt it or choose their own name as well.

[-] Beebabe@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Quite a bit, but it could be worse.

During early life, they'd like it. As teenagers they'd hate it. In their adult years they'd come back around to liking it again.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I think they would mainly hate it because it would infringe on their own self-identity. No one I know in real life knows my user name, and no one who knows my user name knows my irl identity. That would be the biggest problem.


Checked with my 15 year old daughter: 98% hate.

[-] Chimrod@jlai.lu 4 points 10 months ago

I think they could have worse
