Auto fill likes to put a space after the name that often will make these forms freak out.

I don't know what the problem is for this person, but my name is Christopher. Super white, Christian, and "normal". My bank thinks my name is Christophe because apparently 10 characters is enough for the first name column.
It's also fun buying tickets from the Belgian airline, when they tell me that my family name contains illegal characters. Really? Tell me they're invalid or better yet unacceptable, but not that.
User first name 'Kristen' already taken.
Well done, web form. One less of these damn fakers to wade through. KRISTEN. 👏 ISN'T. 👏 A NAME. 👏
Yea, that's not a real name. You need to put in a real name, like Swaglynn.
My mother-in-law worked at a preschool, and there was actually a little girl named Sexianna.
So many systems just cannot comprehend that names change. Or they make name changes weirdly inconvenient (if I can't just email the paperwork it's too inconvenient). It's not that big of a problem but it is a random pain in the ass every once in a while
This is the only reason I didn't change my name when I got married. (I'm a guy, but her last name is much better than mine)
Ooh, there's dozens of us!
I'm a guy who did change his last name to hers. I regret everything years later still (paperwork wise, marriage and name wise no regrets)
Yeah that's fair. I think they're better about marriage based name changes (social security absolutely is). I'm just glad I didn't try on multiple names before picking one while transitioning.
Nothing on that list would have saved Mr.& Mrs. Null from their constant hassle with systems.
People’s names do not contain numbers.
There are really names with numbers? (others than Roman numerals)
The one thing that I mildly object to on that list is number 11 (Unicode). Since we are taking about software, it's basically equivalent to number 40 (having a name at all).
I'd try replacing letters with homoglyphs. Doubt it would work, but not so much that I didn't think it was worth a try.
I mean, first I'd check to make sure I hadn't added any leading/trailing spaces. There does appear to be a lot of space before the K. Might technically be why it isn't working.
Not that the site doesn't still have serious dumb issues even if that is the issue. But yeah.
There's a lot of whitespace before the name. Any chance they hit the space bar before talking the screen shot?
Aren't names in credit cards all capitalized? Maybe worth trying KRISTEN instead of Kristen.
It's my strawman, I'm making a special appearance in this admiralty court as the settler and natural person. Also, I'm traveling.
Oh shit I gave admiralty court tomorrow! I'm going to give a sovcit speech then instead of insisting the laws don't apply, because I kind of live on the beach, they just only apply if it stays on theme. Community service? Not valid unless they specify 'beach cleanup' or 'cleaning barnacles off of boats'. Jail? No. Has to be ship's brig.
Do you think I can make the judge wear a captains hat and a sword instead of a robe and a hammer?
I watched a few performances of these people in court. It's absolutely wild. Where do they get these ideas? Now I have this (likely unhealthy) desire to look at what these conversations look like. Do they have forums for these insane people?
same place as q-anon gets their ideas: from the dankest shitholes of the internet, festering with 'patriots' who dodge taxes and sovereign citizens who get medicaid and social security.
I love what the internet has given us, but often wonder if it was worth it or if there should have been some kind of test for basic logic people should demonstrate before being given unfettered access to the thing...
Unfortunately judges can't use any bladed weapons on account of being a variant of clerics
Nothing new to some folks out there.
