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

You changed your name to latrine?

It used to be shithouse.

Good change!

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

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

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

She would love it

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

hopefully they like dead things

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.

Ahhhhhhh, they won't know any difference.

Could be worse I guess, right /u/SatansMaggotyCumFart

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

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

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.

I think they could have worse

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

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.

So they’re hemi-semi-hemi-demigods?

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

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.

Hope mine like shitty candy!

They're cool with it

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.

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?

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

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.)

Probably slightly less than they already do.

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

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

Not bad…. Not bad

They wouldn't hate me at all.

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

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

🐸

Meh. It's no biggie.

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

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

Not at all

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.

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.

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.

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

They will dread everything free

They better like pineapple

Nice

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

Probably not too much

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

They cannot draw then, rip

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.

meh not that bad compared to most other names

It's... ok?

Hate-on for musical Mermaid Deadpool?

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