Ask Lemmy

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.

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

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

who cares

Could be worse I guess, right /u/SatansMaggotyCumFart

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.

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.

they're the ones who have killed me.

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 cool with it.

hopefully they like dead things

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

They're cool with it

My kid would likely say I crushed it.

Hope mine like shitty candy!

What kids?

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.

Quite a bit, but it could be worse.

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.

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

I think they could have worse

So they’re hemi-semi-hemi-demigods?

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.

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

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

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.)

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. 🤷
