They're cool with it.

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.
Well, I'm gonna have to brush up on my Metroid lore.
hopefully they like dead things
Hate-on for musical Mermaid Deadpool?
As long as they find their own pocket rocks, I think we're peachy.
They would be wondering whyiI haven't embraced the lifestyle, only adopted the name.
And they'd be mad about inheriting my poor vision.

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 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.)
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.
they're the ones who have killed me.
Probably a bit weird, but it could have been much worse
It's... ok?
That really depends on their gender and orientation. I assume straight daughters would not be happy.
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.
What kids?
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
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.
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.
Hope mine like shitty candy!
I’m not sure mine would understand.
My kids call me Boursin Cheese because they couldn't pronounce my name (or chose not to)
They get what they give.
So they’re hemi-semi-hemi-demigods?
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.
I suppose it's not so bad spawning a few minor Riots.
If they are at all aware of the world in which we live they would have fallen down the same path anyway.
I think they could have worse
