    It's alright, I guess, except that nobody in the family (myself included) like singing.

      I get lots of compliments on my username. Came up with it in the 90s and I feel like it aged well.

        I don't have kids, but I imagine they'd be pissed to have to write out such a long name: Jennifer Grasshopper_Mouse? That shit would go aaaaall the way across the page.

          It's literally "TheSloth", so I think we'll all be OK.

          It rings different in German though, since Faultier can also be translated as lazy animal.

              You changed your name to latrine?

              It used to be shithouse.

              Good change!

                I've used this name in public as a new identity. I think once my kids know i used it as a form of self identity, they'd either partially adopt it or choose their own name as well.

                      Hopefully they inherit the psychopomp job too and it is a career resilient to AI and self-driving cars. If Waymo works in the Underworld, they will be looking for new career options like every other Z and younger.

                      If they want the job, of course. I'm not one of those old school escorts of the dead that insists the kids follow in parents' footsteps.

                        My kids call me Boursin Cheese because they couldn't pronounce my name (or chose not to)

                        They get what they give.

                          Assuming you're American, based on your username and instance. Hope that helps.

                            My kid would genuinely love it, it's right up his alley in terms of humor. My sense of humor is generally quite a bit darker, but I thought of it and it made me chuckle so I used it.

                            I just asked him what he thought of the username pooptart and he started giggling and went on an ADHD fueled set of concepts that ended with "what if you pooped a car?" But by then my own ADHD was only barely listening.

                              They would probably find it pretty cringe

                              Think about it though. In like 100 years, the irony will wear off, and you'll have Millers, Carpenters, Smiths, and fucking Gigachads. It'd work, it just might take awhile.

                                Eh, it's pretty descriptive of me but I wonder if my kids would be the same. They'll be monotheistic, most likely at least, but yappy/argumentative is not a given. 🤷
