@jtlg so, fun fact:My full name is Foone B. Turing.And my story for the "B" is that it stands for "Benoit B. Mandlebrot", and now re-read that sentence as many times as you want to go as deep as you want.So my name DOES have a complex part: it's the point called c, in Fc(z) = z² + c: the definition of the mandlebrot set.

@foone true, but I didn't know this was your real name until recently. I mean, it makes sense, but if someone didn't know it was your real name, then it wouldn't really matter how long you'd used it, right? I was simply being honest to your question (although I know your real first and last name through publications).Basically I'm just spring boarding off this to say kiwifarms really sucks. I miss byuu.

@foone tbh, a bit. I always assumed it was a nickname. And usually journalists will verify names even if they sound normal - even if we suspect, we tend to ask in interviews how people want to be addressed both during the interview and in the final form - ie: some people prefer to be addressed familiarly during the interview or for brevity, but ask to use full name in article for clarity or other reasons.

@foone The computers at the passport office of my country permit a single character surname. The computers at the border control do not. You can imagine all the fun that causes me when I return home from a trip elsewhere.Nowhere in the world have I experienced so many obstacles and interrogations as I have trying to re-enter the country where I was born and have lived my entire life.

@dan ugh yikes. that's a mess. I ran into a similar problem when I worked for the US government: we had two separate authentication systems (windows and unix), and every system would use one of those two (and it wasn't obvious which one was in use!) so you had to make your username/pass the same.they ALMOST had the same requirements. almost. Sometimes you'd change it and then go to change it on the other and it'd be invalid, because one needs 2 digits and one needed 3

@foone @iykury I have 3 middle names. Perfectly usual names otherwise, but it hits the length limit of both paper and online form soooo often.Not learning from this mistakes, our kids have hyphenated names.We are finally open to learning, but I fear it's too late on that front.

@pawv It's an extension of "FOO", the metasyntactic variable. It's a nonsense placeholder from hacker culture, relating back to a 1930s comic strip. the "NE" was added by a C64 bug. So it's an intentionally meaningless name given accidental meaning by a computer glitch.

@foone @iykury I have a hyphenated first name, which regularly wreaks havoc on low-quality software. Like when my paper birth certificate got digitized in the 90s and and my first name ended up (not my actual name) Joebob instead of Joe-Bob. Then when I moved to California, they'd only issue my ID with the exact name on my birth certificate, so then that was wrong, too. The ID is fixed now, though the birth cert is still wrong. I had to bring my (not actually legally binding) longform certificate and plead with the guy at the DMV, who reluctantly put the "wrong" name into their system.Or when I buy plane tickets, and the system tells me both "enter your name *exactly* as it appears on your photo ID" and also "name contains invalid characters" when I put in the hyphen.And hyphenated first name is *easy mode* when it comes to name stuff.
