I try to register @null wherever I go. Most places don't allow it, and the one place that did force changed the name at one point.

  The empty string, right? That'd only be appropriate.

    Spoken like an Oracle developer (Oracle considers NULL and empty string to be equivalent).

        Why does that not list 'null' under "causing trouble"?

    عينول is a valid name, which can be poorly transliterated to Ai'null Explaining the joke: The first letter is ain, written as a3 or 'a in some places. Pronounce a' with a soft stop. Because of this, legal names here sometimes include an apostrophe. Normally it's spelled 'Ainul, but one can misspell it.

  My coworker was naturalized and changed their middle name to null as part of that. To see what would happen
