Yes, I'll name my child parent. This will reverse the tree, vertically.

81

And if they settle on they/them pronouns, you could have an inverted non-binary tree.

They're currently shaking hands and too busy to let us borrow their names

Even if they weren't you wouldn't be able to contact them directly, nowadays they have s man in the middle who handles their communications. badum tss

You'll have to settle for naming your child after one of their public keys, but then your child will only be able to talk to them.

don't even know what this is but I have been abroad since maybe 2010 so not suprised

"Pointer, where are you?" Points at Parent, my other child

35

Pointer moved to Hollywood, to become a character star. They had a string of interviews, but it ended in nothing.

Ada is in fact named after a person, thus completing the circle.

A friend of mine named his dog Byte. The dog is very playful, and has the habit of running in the direction of other people he meets.

When the dog does that my friend tries to call him back shouting: "BYTE!! BYTE!!". People get really scared when this happens 😂

Okay, not so funny if you are the one being approached by the dog.

That's probably a little unethical but the mental image is absolutely hilarious.

Those are our names. My parents were Less and More.

Error in line 1: You can't use a reserved symbol in a variable name.

Just name the kid Basic, hardly worse than the Trahgedhieghs running around today

This reminded me I haven't heard from my uncle Foo Bar in a while. (He spells it Fubar)

As a Python programmer I'll have to name my child Dictionary, of course.

My wife and I are the same age but I started using the internet around 1999 whereas she didn't use it until many, many years later.

It's fun because I can show her old memes for the first time. She missed the entire "lol so random" era of internet memes (think things like badger badger badger, "my spoon is too big", forehead shavecut, animutations, etc) and doesn't quite understand it. It's all we had back then!

For some reason I got an out of bounds memory exception when trying to dereference the parent.

Kind of has the same cadence to it as James Bond Jr. I like it.

My first kitten was called Rails, but be run away. The second one, Ruby, but she died from sickness the second day we had her home. The third one was Rails 2, but we called him just Rails, he's 10 yo now. The fourth one wad called PowerBI, buy ny wife didn't like and it was a lame name anyway so we changed it to Sushi.

This reminds me of an article I read about a guy whose last name was Null.

This isn't it but is the first one I found when looking.

The story is pretty much what you would expect but still an amusing read.

Error also has a nice ring to it

I'm surprised this isn't memed more. Like, it's canon that there's a guy named Error running around in Hyrule and everyone has forgotten this.

If you name her Julia, you can wake her up with the wonderful meme of “Good morning Julia, it’s me, Joe…”

We named our son "Foo Bar" but we used the alternate spelling "Fubar" to make it look more reasonable.

I've seen you around quite a bit, crabby. Nice to see you again. 👋

If Archer and Parker and Miller get to be first names…my next kid is Pointer.
