People with real l337 speak names?
An anonymous reader writes "I'm considering naming my first-born child either Br4d or J4n37, depending on gender. My wife isn't too keen on the idea but there's plenty of time left to persuade her. Anyway, it had me wondering whether there are any people out there with real l337 speak given names (or even just a digit in their name). Do you know of any? Other than people saying your dad is a l4m3r, What are the possible pitfalls of having a digit in your name? Is it legal to have a digit in a name? Am I guaranteeing my child becomes a misfit? Am I the misfit?" Ask Jennifer 8. Lee.
Yeah, I'm going to name my first born son fr1st p50t!!11
Imagine having a commonly used pr0n word in your name.

One problem would be taking standardized tests such as the SATs. There are no numbers in the section where you bubble in your name. Your child could lose the 400 points given for putting your name on the test...

I'm considering naming my first-born child either Br4d or J4n37, depending on gender. My wife isn't too keen on the idea but there's plenty of time left to persuade her... considering you haven't even met her yet. Now move out of your parent's basement and stop posting April Fool's jokes.

It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
Well, we at least know of one bug in first version: bad naming conventions.
My parents named me sc0. They thought they were so cool with their UnixWare server. I'm in therapy now.

Wait a minute. Didn't I say that on the other side of the record? I'd better check
Anyone retarded enough to name their kid in l3375p34k lacks the genes that would make higher learning a possibility anyhow.

I shit thee not.
"People" using "unnecessary" quotes should be "shot".
Translation: I hate my child, and wish to see them get beaten regularly in school.
You don't have another child named Squee, do you?

april fool jokes aside...
if you want to give your child an unusual name, at least give him or her something s/he can abbreviate to something less unusual if s/he turns out to be more conservative than you, otherwise, s/he could have some problems, among other things, with finding a job, people assuming the name has typo or is a joke name (but I have a vewy good fwiend in Wome named Biggus Dickus!).
even some foreigners are starting to modify their names due to embarrassing phonetic correlation in English... like this Vietnamese person I know: real name "Phuoc". (side note: a friend of mine who is a native French speaker took her child to the Toronto zoo once, and she was teaching her to say the animal names in French. The people around her were evidently scandalized to see this mother teach her daughter to point at a seal and to say: "un phoque!")
That being said, I also know a guy named Richard Hertz, who everyone calls Dick. No joke.
I wouldnt be surprised if one day someone starts an agency to research names that have absolutely no bad connotations in any language.
It's spelled Ry4an but is pronounced Throat Warbler Mangrove.
So the first child with a cyber implant would be Jon Cusack 2.1.2??
Guess an abortion would be given Jon Cusack 2.1.RC1

"Hmmm... I dunno... According to your DNS Server at 212.90.2.112, you're named Venom. That doesn't sound like somebody my admin would like me playing with."
One month, out of the blue, my long distance carrier began spelling my name "3cott" instead of "Scott." I phoned customer service to correct the change. Before I'd identified myself by name or explained my problem, the woman who'd answered the phone asked me for my account number. I told her, she tapped audibly on her computer keyboard, and after a pause she asked, "And am I speaking with Three-cott?" as if it were the most common name in the world.
