choosing your own name should be the norm (hexbear.net)

I think that in a rational society everyone should feel free to choose their name, and doing so should be a normal and expected rite of passage.

It makes way more sense to choose the sound people make when they refer to you, than having your parents choose it for you before you're even a person yet.

XxX_SePh1r0tH_XxX is arguably a more acceptable name than Elon's kid tbh

i have a hard enough time naming characters or picking online handles. i'd probably panic and name myself a poop joke.
