They will dread everything free

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

As long as I don't name them Steve then we're all good

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

[–] orgrinrt@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

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

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

They wouldn't hate me at all.

[–] TheHotze@lemmy.world 2 points 5 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 5 days ago

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

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 days ago

They better like pineapple

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

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

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

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Eh, it's pretty descriptive of me but I wonder if my kids would be the same. They'll be monotheistic, most likely at least, but yappy/argumentative is not a given. 🤷

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

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 2 points 5 days ago

I'd be in the center of an uproar.

[–] porksnort@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 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 4 days ago

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

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago

Probably kinda normal tbh

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 2 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

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

Meh. It's no biggie.

Your username is now your sirname, how much will your kids hate you

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Probably not too much

[–] Icantdraw@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

They cannot draw then, rip

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

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

[–] megane_kun@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

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.
