I was concerned that the author might have been running into the Scunthorpe Problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem).
My last name contains a naughty substring. I feel for the author and their hyphen!

- labster 3y agoI’m starting to think Bruno has been lying to us about being a bear all this time
- brunoTbear 3y agoIt would be rather silly to assume all bears have the same last name "bear"! It's not as if people all walk around saying "Oh hi I'm Timothy Human" "Nice to meet you, I'm Rachel Human, are we related?" Which, come to think of it, is kind of a funny notion, and a nice reminder that despite our differences we really are all related!
- jgrahamc 3y agoI used to have that problem but it has not been an issue since the early 2000s.
- zamalek 3y agoI ran into it about a year ago with Verizon. No Dickinsons allowed! Sadly the only FTTH around, so I had to have support give me permission to have my name. I can vaguely imagine how someone would _think_ its a good idea (it's not, to be clear) on a website where users might see other users' names, something like CRM SaaS. I can't understand how anyone would think that validating users' real names on a purely customer-facing website is a good idea. Maybe frustrated customers (can't imagine why) have names like FuckVerizon on their account?
- dessimus 3y agoOr similarly a clbuttic mistake (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clbuttic https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clbuttic).
- labster 3y agoThat used to be a mbuttive problem.
- brian_cunnie 3y agoI couldn't make changes to my USPS (United States Postal Service) account for years because it kept flagging my last name, "Cunnie", as an obscenity.
