I’d love to join a zoom call with a doctor and watching them try to pronounce that.

Name input should exclusively be an infinitely sized canvas, got it.

Falsehoods programmers believe about names:

    1. Names are representable using an n-dimensional infinite canvas. Nobody has a name requiring an (n+1)-dimensional representation.

Strongly resisting the urge to rename myself to the concept of ℂⁿ⁺¹.

How do you spell it? You can't. Muahahaha

Most of the time I don't remember what I commented so me receiving this notification made me think you're one of those spam bots

One of my financial accounts wouldn't let me transfer money to another because my name wasn't exactly the same on that account.

Alright alright but surely people’s names are diverse enough such that no million people share the same name.

Who thinks that?

There's about 5,000 people working at the organization I work at and there's loads of people who have the same name, first and last.

Every substitute teacher I ever had called me Christophe thanks to the school district’s character limit.

As a fellow Christophe, I too have seen this all my life.
It's comical that so many companies and systems just decided "No one will ever have a name longer than 10 characters, right?"

It’s wild considering it was one of the most popular names for a while. There were 3 other Christophe’s in my class at one point.

South Korea actually has a law that nobody can have names longer than 5 symbols since a traditional name is never longer than that and it's all their systems are setup to handle.

You write Chris, and then they lock your account because they think you're fraudulent

I also love when systems tell me my name is “invalid” because it has a character they don’t like.
