I knew a guy who legally changed his name to ‘Asshole’. He had a lot of banking issues.

may I ask where he did that? In the US most states won’t let you change your name to something with profanity in it

But do I respect the play

It was Wisconsin. The guy was very odd.

Yes, he comes from a long line of assholes.

There are two ways to legally change your name:

You go to a courthouse, pay fees, have your records and IDs changed to match your new name.
As long as it's not for fraudulent purposes, you can call yourself anything you like at any time. You can sign all your checks and contracts "Asshole A. Asshole" as long as the checks are good and you abide by the terms of those contracts.

I bet this is how Denis Leary signed his checks.

He parks in handicapped spaces while handicapped people make handicapped faces.

Better still change your name to Major Major and join the army, it'll really screw them up. (this may be copyright, I just saw it in a movie last week)

I was in the army (got out 21 years ago) and I knew a Sergeant Sargent. Kinda unrelated but I also knew a Captain Morgan and a Captain Crunch. Seriously

How about Disregard P. Instructions? Middle name “Previous.”

I read a story about someone who got a license plate saying “null” thinking automatic speed traps and red light cameras would ignore his vehicle. What actually happened is every person who didn’t have a plate and got a ticket had their ticket associated to their null plate. He got hundreds of tickets in just a few weeks coming from multiple jurisdictions. He spent months trying to get all the tickets dismissed.

I don't know where you live, but they may not actually allow that even if you wanted to

bahaha it’s literally that exact article that gave me the idea, small world

There's also this Radiolab episode which covers not just people named null, but other related issues.

What would be the problem with this?

[-]

queef_nuggets@reddit (OP)

A lot of databases replace blank fields with “Null” so if your name is actually Null, it’ll might think you don’t have a name especially if the database is old and outdated. And that may sound like a silly little thing but it could fuck a lot of shit up

"What if you legally changed your name to Null Null?"

One small name change breaks the digital glue holding the modern world together.
