So, I'm guessing he's going to go by Ash, and just try to deflect/change the subject if anyone asks him to confirm the spelling or write it down

LOL

The hospital at which he was born refused to register him under the name Dweezil, so Frank listed the names of several musician friends. “Dweezil” was a nickname coined by Frank for an oddly curled pinky toe of Gail’s. At the age of five years, Dweezil learned that his legal name was different, and he insisted on having his nickname become his legal name.

Somewhat related, my youngest’s middle name is just initials: W. A. (after my grandpa - my little brother shares these initials: J.W.A.L.), but when he was little, instead of trying to explain his middle name of just initials, we used my grandpa’s nickname: Wally.

Fast forward a couple years , and OH MY the drama when we explained to him that Wally was his middle “nickname” and that his true middle name was just W. A. He’s good with it now, but boy, tears were shed.

I’ve heard people speculate about an SR-72, but I’ve never heard of a SR-17.  If it’s somebody’s favorite airplane, and a successor to the A-12, [insert Area 51 joke that I can’t think of yet]

He’s going to have a fun time discovering all the crappy old computer systems that don’t properly support high-ASCII let alone Unicode.

Also probably fun with crappy minimum wage data entry people who don’t know what Æ is and just write it AE.

And of course systems/people which/who don’t know what to do with people whose names have more than three parts.

Since it ends in Musk, I’m thinking this monstrosity is his full name. I’m not sure if everything before Musk is his first name, or if some of it is a middle name(s)

I told Mrs. Snuze about this and she’s all like “WTF?”

Then I told her that it sets precedent - if we have a little one I want to name it after my favorite plane.... Warthog Snuze!!!

My buddy is on the bandwagon, he wants to name his kid “Ghostrider” after the AC-130J.

Could this be our generation’s Mason, Taylor, and Jackson?

Yeah, I just asked my wife if she’d seen any of this. The name, along with Musk deciding to sell all of his homes and possessions, and Grimes’ new digital persona, it’s all just crazytown.

Warthog would be a pretty epic nickname for the right kid.

You know, it’s fine if you want to be as “eccentric” as these two are as a personal choice, or as a marketing ploy, but to press this kind of shit on a kid that has no say in the matter kind of pisses me off. But I guess every kid has to deal with their respective family’s shit - some are just a little more out-of-orbit than others.

Oh yeah, these people are completely unhinged. But I guess when you have a bazillion dollars you don’t have to live in the same reality as the rest of us.

Warthog would be a good nickname for a kid who is total terror. Or possibly one of those freakishly large kids, like that 5 y.o. who was trying to drive to Cali to buy a Lambo with $3.

On the topic of weird names, I was in the Navy with a guy named “Mercury Starcruiser, ” we all called him Merc. I always thought that was an awesome name.

It just ensures this kid will never have a chance to live a normal life...not that they’d have any comprehension of what “ normal” is anyway growing up with parents like that . 

Snuze: Needs another Swede > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 05/06/2020 at 12:15

No, his middle name was “ Constellation”. He had some brothers and sisters that had names like that, too. One brother was also in the Navy, but I didnt know him, but his name was like Jupiter Laser, o r something.

T he story, as I remember it, was the father was a sci-fi geek and had changed his last name. He was also in the Navy and met the mom while stationed overseas. When they started having kids, he convinced her these were normal American names. But I think she eventually caught on because he had younger siblings who had more “normal” names like Tom or Mary, or something.
