I have an online handle (not this one) that is kinda close to my real name. Two letters change it from “10% of white girls born in North America between 1975 and 2000 have this name” to a name I’ve only seen attached to one real person before.
Geathel?
Omg, how did you guess? Is that you, Wilhelm?
Now I have to nuke this account to protect my privacy. So long, Lemmy karma…
Wait, that’s a real name?
Benjahmmin
Batman bin Suparman
Or this one:
Puck like Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Reason: that’d be hot
That was my name back in Japan. Had to change it because it would be too easy to vandalize, people could just scratch off the P and turn it into an F or whatever
Hey Pac-Man! How’s Namco treating you these days?
I understood this reference
Schamhorst
New full name: Theophrastus Bombastus
That would be first and last. Not just first name
He’s currently Jim Bombastus
*Gasp* I told you that in confidence!
Do they call you Mister Bombastic?
Something old, like a name from Sumer, Akkad, Elam, maybe something Hittite.
Epirmupi, Shamsaki, Puzur-Inshushinak, Ninurta, Lugalzagasi, Tiglath-Pileser, Hattusili, Suppiluliuma.
Ea-nāṣir! 😂
I would absolutely trust someone with this name in commercial dealings.
Not sure how uncommon you’re looking for, but I think I already did this.
I chose Sage.
According to some quick googling (read: not sure how accurate this is), Sage wasn’t in the top 500 names for my birth year, but my given name was top 100.
Though both names I’ve used have been trending towards more common for most of my life. Looks like my original name is now a top 35 most common, but Sage is still outside the top 100 for females and outside top 300 for males.(Really wish there was more data for the popularity of nonbinary names. I think Sage is probably one of the more popular enby names, so maybe it’s not all that uncommon, depending on how you define it.)
Cool name. I have nothing productive to add, but Sage against the machine just came to me as I was reading your comment. Please feel free to do with it as you wish.
Okay, but are you a lawyer?
Lol. Yes I am! How did you know?? 😜
I get a sense about people.
My username is my first name, and I’d say it’s already pretty uncommon!
Ender
Growing
Put that with my last name works so well
Johnson?
To obvious but still funny. No you have to split my last name into parts and say it more how it looks then how you would normally say it.
the ascii null character
Until you get 4 billion dollars worth of fines and speeding tickets
Yes hi there my name is \n
I remember that one
Andromeda, probs. I’m a sucker for constellations and stargazing.
