Your username is now public and hereditary like a surname. How much do your kids hate you?

lol idk

I don’t think they’d care.

I'd imagine that mine would end up like royal names, I'm the weirdest cunt, my child would be the 2nd weirdest cunt and so on

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.

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

They would probably find it pretty cringe

My cats will be fine with it.

Hey you kids, get off my WLAN!

You changed your name to latrine?

It used to be shithouse.

Good change!

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

With normal letters or forever with the goofy ones? 🤔

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.

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

"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

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

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

literally using my surname as my username RN

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Could be worse I guess, right /u/SatansMaggotyCumFart

She would love it

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

Ahhhhhhh, they won't know any difference.

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.

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

who cares

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.

hopefully they like dead things

They're cool with it.

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.

they're the ones who have killed me.

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

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.

What kids?

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.

My kid would likely say I crushed it.

Quite a bit, but it could be worse.

That really depends on their gender and orientation. I assume straight daughters would not be happy.

I think they could have worse

Hope mine like shitty candy!

I’m not sure mine would understand.

If they are at all aware of the world in which we live they would have fallen down the same path anyway.

Kids are probably going to make fun of the foot part. Teenage girls are going to ask my sons if the size matches other parts.

So they’re hemi-semi-hemi-demigods?

They're cool with it

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

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.

My kids call me Boursin Cheese because they couldn't pronounce my name (or chose not to)

They get what they give.

My username is a variety of my name. So less annoyed than the kids of Ladiesman217.

Eh, unless they don't like cute stuff I don't think they'd care lol

It's alright, I guess, except that nobody in the family (myself included) like singing.

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.)

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

Eh, it's pretty descriptive of me but I wonder if my kids would be the same. They'll be monotheistic, most likely at least, but yappy/argumentative is not a given. 🤷

As long as they find their own pocket rocks, I think we're peachy.

They wouldn't hate me at all.

Probably slightly less than they already do.

As long as I don't name them Steve then we're all good

They will dread everything free

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

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

I'd be in the center of an uproar.

Meh. It's no biggie.

Not at all

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

They better like pineapple

Nice

🐸

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.

Hopefully they inherit the psychopomp job too and it is a career resilient to AI and self-driving cars. If Waymo works in the Underworld, they will be looking for new career options like every other Z and younger.

If they want the job, of course. I'm not one of those old school escorts of the dead that insists the kids follow in parents' footsteps.

They would get tired of explaining to everyone that it's not a Runescape reference.

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

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

Probably not too much

They cannot draw then, rip

It's... ok?

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

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

I don't get it

If my kids are weebs with poor eyesight, it can serve as their nickname, I guess. Otherwise, they can pretend it's just an uncommon surname.

Probably kinda normal tbh

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

Hate-on for musical Mermaid Deadpool?

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.

meh not that bad compared to most other names

I was born too early. I reckon my name will fit right in down the line
