    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.

    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…

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

    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.)

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