My health insurance company did this with my first name. Now when I communicate with them in any way, even a doctor telemedicine visit,I have to pretend my name is Christophe.
Could've gone with Hristopher, I guess?
I’d love to join a zoom call with a doctor and watching them try to pronounce that.
Christofer
E: scrolled down to realize I'm like the third person to say this. So original 🙄🤷
It's a nickname for Hristorectomy.
Krtsfr is as concise as can be
Reminds me of this: Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names
Lmao
Name input should exclusively be an infinitely sized canvas, got it.
Falsehoods programmers believe about names:
Strongly resisting the urge to rename myself to the concept of ℂⁿ⁺¹.
How do you spell it? You can't. Muahahaha
That's why you should store names as images
Hello, I am 😘 😚 🫡. Nice to meet you
How do you pronounce it? Kissy kissy salute?
Please, just kall me Kiss.
🎶 Thaaaaaat’s myyyy name toooo 🎶
Impossible, no two people on earth have the same image name!
Most of the time I don't remember what I commented so me receiving this notification made me think you're one of those spam bots
One of my financial accounts wouldn't let me transfer money to another because my name wasn't exactly the same on that account.
Alright alright but surely people’s names are diverse enough such that no million people share the same name.
Who thinks that?
There's about 5,000 people working at the organization I work at and there's loads of people who have the same name, first and last.
Christophe sounds cooler, anyway.
Every substitute teacher I ever had called me Christophe thanks to the school district’s character limit.
As a fellow Christophe, I too have seen this all my life.
It's comical that so many companies and systems just decided "No one will ever have a name longer than 10 characters, right?"
It’s wild considering it was one of the most popular names for a while. There were 3 other Christophe’s in my class at one point.
South Korea actually has a law that nobody can have names longer than 5 symbols since a traditional name is never longer than that and it's all their systems are setup to handle.

So many options, so few letters
Chrstphr as well
Malprctce, I was named after my uncle, he's in insurance.
This immediately made me think of Frozen. That's what having kids does to your brain.
You write Chris, and then they lock your account because they think you're fraudulent
"Fuckyou" is less than 10 characters.
So is the poop emoji.

I also love when systems tell me my name is “invalid” because it has a character they don’t like.
Try to rephrase it

Banks are the highest-stakes target for tech shit and somehow, reliably, the dumbest motherfuckers when it comes to tech shit.
