      Just pick the 15th most common name of the previous year. Then your kid will be fine.

        This is legit a really good move. Not too common, so you need a nickname because there will always be five children with the same amen on the playground. But also common enough that they will very rarely have to spell it out.

    Depends on what you’ll be using it for. ie: ‘UrGranny’ could be fun for games but it might not work as intended on OF.

      “UrGranny” would definitely work for OF. Literally anything would probably work for OF. People are freaks.

    Just toss some stuff you enjoy together. It’s not like you only ever get one- I’ve had a few over the years.

    Mine is just a combo of two mythological figures that also have to do with stars/outer space. I like Sci-Fi, and I like mythologies.

        I originally tried to just use Orion, and it was almost always taken.

        So SolOrion was originally a fallback choice that just kind of took over.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
