Robert'); DROP TABLE Students

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Possibly more annoying choice: The right to leftoverride character

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

Can we call you little Bobby tables?

[-] riccardo@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

that's how my parents call me, yeah

[-] Truck_kun@beehaw.org 8 points 9 months ago

I feel like Little Bobby Tables has grown up, and should now be Robert'); DROP TABLE loans;--

No, my son is also named Bort

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 9 months ago

Don't do it! Novelty license plates for that name are always sold out. I've been trying to find one for 30 years.

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

I was visiting someone at Yale, and as we were walking through town I saw a car with an actual BORT license plate.

I was the only one who got a kick out of it though.

It was 2 phones ago, so not sure where the picture lives these days, but I have proof somewhere!

SomethingUncommon

[-] Sage_the_Lawyer@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

Not sure how uncommon you're looking for, but I think I already did this.

I chose Sage.

According to some quick googling (read: not sure how accurate this is), Sage wasn't in the top 500 names for my birth year, but my given name was top 100.

Though both names I've used have been trending towards more common for most of my life. Looks like my original name is now a top 35 most common, but Sage is still outside the top 100 for females and outside top 300 for males.(Really wish there was more data for the popularity of nonbinary names. I think Sage is probably one of the more popular enby names, so maybe it's not all that uncommon, depending on how you define it.)

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 11 points 9 months ago

Okay, but are you a lawyer?

[-] Sage_the_Lawyer@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Lol. Yes I am! How did you know?? 😜

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago

I get a sense about people.

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

Cool name. I have nothing productive to add, but Sage against the machine just came to me as I was reading your comment. Please feel free to do with it as you wish.

[-] Hegar@kbin.social 16 points 9 months ago

Something old, like a name from Sumer, Akkad, Elam, maybe something Hittite.

Epirmupi, Shamsaki, Puzur-Inshushinak, Ninurta, Lugalzagasi, Tiglath-Pileser, Hattusili, Suppiluliuma.

I would absolutely trust someone with this name in commercial dealings.

I'm loving the creativity here! To me though, "uncommon" implies that it's not like completely unheard of either. so, my choice would be "Midge"

[-] Lemmy_2019@lemmy.one 11 points 9 months ago

That's just Jim backwards.

[-] MxRemy@lemmy.one 6 points 9 months ago

Thanks, I hate it lol

[-] Dekkia@this.doesnotcut.it 12 points 9 months ago

Dekkia.

I already use that name everywhere online, might as well put it on my passport.

Nebuchadnezzar. It has an air of nobility about it and no-one would be able to spell it, ever.

My username is my first name, and I'd say it's already pretty uncommon!

[-] doctordevice@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

New full name: Theophrastus Bombastus

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

That would be first and last. Not just first name

[-] idiomaddict@feddit.de 5 points 9 months ago

He’s currently Jim Bombastus

I always thought that Fox was a cool name for a dude ever since I watched the X-Files. If I had to change my first name, that's what I'd pick.

[-] Rentoraa@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Throckmorton. Saw it in an example problem in my highschool physics textbook and I still think about it

[-] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

Puck like Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream

Reason: that'd be hot

[-] Player2@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

That was my name back in Japan. Had to change it because it would be too easy to vandalize, people could just scratch off the P and turn it into an F or whatever

"nil" or "null"

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 5 points 9 months ago

I already did, but I won't be sharing it in a public forum :P

Doesn't apply for me, but nonbinary folk are great for this question because they all name themselves after random inanimate objects (which is 100% valid)

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Zach, short for Zachariah. Variation of my fursonas name Zachary (well, technically Zach because he prefers using that over the full name).

Also the name of a Fire Emblem Heroes character I totally want to get more screen time because I think he's cool, as a casual.
