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

[–] shish_mish@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

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

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 5 points 2 days ago

They're cool with it.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 3 days ago

Imagine getting terrible medical news from a Dr. Fartswithanaccent.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 2 points 2 days ago

They will dread everything free

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't have kids, but I imagine they'd be pissed to have to write out such a long name: Jennifer Grasshopper_Mouse? That shit would go aaaaall the way across the page.

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

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're going to be elated, hysterical, I'd even say!

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

[–] ShyFae@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago

She would love 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.

[–] orgrinrt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 6 points 3 days ago

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

[–] cryptTurtle@piefed.social 6 points 3 days ago

hopefully they like dead things

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago
[–] porksnort@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] RonniePickering@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

They will carry the greatest name one could carry. Do you know who I am.

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.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

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

[–] ElCrusher@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

My kid would likely say I crushed it.

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago

Hope mine like shitty candy!

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 3 days ago

Ahhhhhhh, they won't know any difference.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

I’m not sure mine would understand.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

they're the ones who have killed me.

[–] TheHotze@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I got mine from my grandfather anyway. Although I won't be having any kids to pass it on.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

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

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Probably a bit weird, but it could have been much worse

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

My kids call me Boursin Cheese because they couldn't pronounce my name (or chose not to)

They get what they give.
