Imagine you maintain this system and somebody named X Æ A-XII Musk will try to register.
Jokes aside. I know a person named exactly like me just with a small diacritic difference. I realize they use secondary identifiers but this is identity theft waiting to happen.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoI go by Kayodé online (Kay (actually Qué) oh Deh), which isn't the African name Kayode (Ki-oh-Day or Ki-oh-Dee). The number of places that don't support diacritics this is absolutely mind-boggling.

I realize they use secondary identifiers but this is identity theft waiting to happen. I don't see how that really makes identity theft any worse. There's already a ton of people with exactly identical names, and differing only in diacritics isn't any worse than that is.
- FateOfNations 5y agoI suspect that kid is going to change his name as soon as he can. Was taking their fantasy name and turning it into something like "Ashton Archangel Musk" too just too pedestrian for them? I unfortunately have a number of people who have the same name as me. Get emails for them sometimes...
