Ask Lemmy

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

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

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 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

My kid would likely say I crushed it.

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

They get what they give.

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

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.

So they’re hemi-semi-hemi-demigods?

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.

What kids?

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

Hope mine like shitty candy!

I’m not sure mine would understand.

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.

They're cool with it

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.

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

They would be wondering whyiI haven't embraced the lifestyle, only adopted the name.

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

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. 🤷

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

They wouldn't hate me at all.

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