Not bad…. Not bad
That will entirely depend on people remembering JarJar Binks so I don't know
meh not that bad compared to most other names
Probably slightly less than they already do.
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...
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.
As long as they find their own pocket rocks, I think we're peachy.
lol idk
They would be wondering whyiI haven't embraced the lifestyle, only adopted the name.
And they'd be mad about inheriting my poor vision.
Honestly i would join you in the lifestyle
Probably kinda normal tbh
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.)
As long as they don't become Swedish and take a culinary career they should be fine.
They will dread everything free
Not at all
I suppose it's not so bad spawning a few minor Riots.
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'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

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

"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
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're cool with it
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.
Could be worse I guess, right /u/SatansMaggotyCumFart
