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

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.

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.

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

Probably kinda normal tbh

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

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

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.

My surname is basically the state of being drunk. Coming from a family full of alcoholics, that’s fitting.

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

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

They will dread everything free

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.

Honestly i would join you in the lifestyle

Not at all

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

I don't get it

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

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

Probably not too much

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

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

Quite a bit, but it could be worse.

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

They better like pineapple

They're cool with it

Nice

lol idk

Could be worse I guess, right /u/SatansMaggotyCumFart

"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

They cannot draw then, rip

I don’t think they’d care.

I wish I could be so lucky.

  Assuming you're American, based on your username and instance. Hope that helps.

literally using my surname as my username RN

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

There was a king called “Cnut” - English/Danish name.

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

One of your progeny is destined to be a key advisor to President Camacho, head of 'The Department of Agriculture; Brought to you by KFC/PizzaHut'

They're cool with it.

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.

Dude, you misspelled your name it should be: "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🫡 * in a very arrogant French accent*
- Le plus drôle c'est que je parle français. Très amusant, n'est-ce pas?
Oh, and Talking Heads fans calling them "psycho killer."
- They'd better Run run run run run run awaayyyyyyy
- Oh you beat me to it !
  Right under your own comment
- That's far better!

You changed your name to latrine?

It used to be shithouse.

Good change!

They would probably find it pretty cringe

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.

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

My cats will be fine with it.

Did you try asking them? Ask them and please report back with their response
- Good idea. I just asked, one ignored me and the other begged for food. Verdict unclear.

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.

Hey you kids, get off my WLAN!

What kids?

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

Just make their middle name not.
The. It's Steve Not Notsteve!

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

Haskill: Praying to yourself, my Lord? That's not a good sign. Or perhaps it is. Prince of Madness, and all that.

who cares

Well, definitely your son and his ballsack lol!

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.

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

My kid would likely say I crushed it.

Hope mine like shitty candy!

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

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

I’m not sure mine would understand.

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.

The name's P00ptart...
JAMES P00ptart.
- Shaken, not stirred

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

It rings different in German though, since Faultier can also be translated as lazy animal.
- I love German animal names so much. My favorites are "stink animal" and "sting pig"

With normal letters or forever with the goofy ones? 🤔

Definitely goofy.
They'll have to type out the unicode galaxy on every form.

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

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

geeawljus

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

They get what they give.

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

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

She would love 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.

I'd be in the center of an uproar.

They wouldn't hate me at all.

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

Imagine getting terrible medical news from a Dr. Fartswithanaccent.

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.

Heh

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.

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

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.

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.

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

hopefully they like dead things

they're the ones who have killed me.

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

So they’re hemi-semi-hemi-demigods?

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

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

Ahhhhhhh, they won't know any difference.

I think they could have worse

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.

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

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. 🤷

God, I hope they're not monotheistic.
- 😆
Id say you have it backwards. Being argumentative is a genetic trait mostly, although outside influence can override that. While theism isn't genetic in any way, and growing up in a religion is often the catalyst that turns them away.
- Hey, maybe they can be both, then. 😅

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

🐸

Meh. It's no biggie.
