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

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.
Not bad…. Not bad
Probably slightly less than they already do.
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.
Hate-on for musical Mermaid Deadpool?
I suppose it's not so bad spawning a few minor Riots.
It's... ok?
That will entirely depend on people remembering JarJar Binks so I don't know
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.
meh not that bad compared to most other names
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.
lol idk
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.
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?
Hon hon hon
Oh, and Talking Heads fans calling them "psycho killer."
They'd better Run run run run run run awaayyyyyyy

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.
Hey you kids, get off my WLAN!
If you’re still using some old and insecure encryption, you’re basically inviting the kids to practice their skills with your WLAN. If you notice that they’ve figured out how to crack WEP, it’s time to move on to WPA and see how long it takes them to find a way in.
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

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

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