If my children are all psychopaths, they might actually appreciate a name like this.

[-] gnu@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago

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

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 3 points 5 days ago

Not bad…. Not bad

[-] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 days ago

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.

Everyone can finally choose "dr." option when filling out flight ticket forms guilt free and probably fly free on Canadia Airlines at least once.

[-] Beebabe@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Quite a bit, but it could be worse.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

'Triple B' could be a decent, non horrible nickname, I agree, could ... be ... a lot worse.

[-] JetpackJackson@feddit.org 4 points 6 days ago

They're cool with it

[-] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 2 points 6 days ago

Probably slightly less than they already do.

[-] Nomad@infosec.pub 3 points 6 days ago

They would be wondering whyiI haven't embraced the lifestyle, only adopted the name.

[-] Nomad_Scry@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 days ago

And they'd be mad about inheriting my poor vision.

[-] Goldholz 2 points 6 days ago

Honestly i would join you in the lifestyle

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 6 days ago

well, I'm snipped so that's not a problem, but if we decided to for some reason adopt, they probably wouldn't love it. I wonder if tabbed browsing would ever go away and it would be a surname based on something that everyone forgets (there are more obscure examples but for example Cooper, Cobbler, Fletcher, Bowyer, Tyler, Taylor, Brewster, etc.)

[-] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Do they get all my usernames, or just the one on Lemmy?

On the upside, I think this username wouldn't be hard to spell out for people. There's no downside, mine is a perfect username.

[-] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Hate-on for musical Mermaid Deadpool?

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

I suppose it's not so bad spawning a few minor Riots.

[-] josefo@leminal.space 1 points 5 days ago

It's... ok?

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

That will entirely depend on people remembering JarJar Binks so I don't know

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Just say "only the 90s kids remember Jar Jar Bings!" and everyone else will forget. Well the 4th movie at least they will still remember 5 and 6.

[-] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 2 points 6 days ago

They will dread everything free

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

meh not that bad compared to most other names

[-] Goldholz 2 points 6 days ago
[-] orgrinrt@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

They probably couldn’t be happier, with a deep sigh of relief, seeing as how most of the others would look.

[-] TheHotze@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I got mine from my grandfather anyway. Although I won't be having any kids to pass it on.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

I imagine they would have a multitude of differing perspectives on it.

[-] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago
[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

They better like pineapple

[-] porksnort@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 days ago

If I were rich enough, my kids wouldn’t care. Money brings all the boys to the yard.

That’s Mr. Porksnort to you, peasant.

Since I am not rich enough to leave an inheritance, my kids will just hate me the usual amount.

[-] RonniePickering@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

They will carry the greatest name one could carry. Do you know who I am.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

As long as they don't become Swedish and take a culinary career they should be fine.

[-] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 1 points 6 days ago
[-] Goldholz 1 points 6 days ago

Your username is now your sirname, how much will your kids hate you

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago
[-] Goldholz 1 points 6 days ago
[-] meekah@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I'm just joking about you mistyping "surname"

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Probably not too much

[-] Icantdraw 1 points 6 days ago

They cannot draw then, rip
