- junon 6y agoNot for technical reasons, someone I knew had the last name Nieffenegger (pronounced "NEF-en-jur") and got banned from Playstation as well as a few other services quite frequently.
- mc32 6y agoThat looks more like /neef en ekah/ where does the /dzhur/ come from?

- modzu 6y agohaha that reminded me of the Wesley Willis song
- jnsaff2 6y agoMy first name is Jaanus, when I moved to Australia and looked for a job one of the major job search sites would stop during signup with a message: ‘your name may contain a profanity’.
- rorykoehler 6y agoThat’s the most Australian thing ever. Mad into the babysitting vibe.
- raverbashing 6y agoHah. Great message wording. It literally means nothing. "May"? contain. It either contains or not. Why is that a problem? Even better it stating it as a statement, like "yes, your name may contain a profanity" (but you don't like it?)
- jnsaff2 6y agoAlso, I had two of my friends on facebook who could not use their actual first name of Peep. Like for years they had to use Pepe or Pep. For facebook it was too daring I guess.
- ThePadawan 6y agoI worked with a "Heidegger" (pretty common Swiss last name) before. He always said he was very very afraid of being pulled over by police in the States and asked his name.
- m463 6y agoIt's like bobby tables in real life. I wonder if this will be the new anonymity in the future, sort of being like a "john smith" in the past
